Seann William Scott To Star In Kevin Smith’s Hit Somebody

Here’s an exact quote:

Title character? If it was Hit SomeBuddy, maybe.

Seann William Scott, who worked with Smith on Cop Out, will play Buddy, the title character in Hit Somebody. The script, based on a Warren Zevon song with lyrics by acclaimed writer Mitch Albom, is a story of a hockey enforcer who strives to score just one goal in a hockey game.

Smith apparently sees something of Buddy, his fictional character, in the real Scott saying “He’s always dismissed as Stifler. … This is his chance to shine”. Take that, Craig Gillespie/Richard Kelly/Jay Chandrasekhar. Ahem.
