Screenwriting and directing duo Peter and Bobby Farrelly are reportedly actively developing a sequel to their 1996 classic screwball sports comedy, Kingpin. According to Collider, there's no script and there's no confirmed cast, but it's a start.
For those who missed it, the movie follows a star bowler (Woody Harrelson) whose career was prematurely cut short but hopes to ride a new prodigy (Randy Quaid) to success and riches. There are screwball comedies and then there are screwball comedies--Kingpin stood out at the time for its absurd goofiness, fondness for vulgarity, and Bill Murray sporting a gravity-defying haircut.
Quaid, Harrelson, and Murray were all huge stars at the time who have all gone on to shine even brighter in the years since--so it's anyone's guess whether any of them might return or if a Kingpin sequel would function better to pass a torch generationally to a new set of kooky bowlers. The Farrelly Brothers immediately followed Kingpin with 1998's There's Something About Mary, and Peter Farrelly most recently directed and co-wrote 2018's Green Book.
