Ken Jeong to Star in Steve Carrell’s ‘International Incident,’ Joins ‘Ride Along 2’

by JAMES S. KIM

Ken Jeong is set to star in a comedy produced by Steve Carell’s production company, Summit Entertainment, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Called International Incident, the film will revolve around five delegates from the United Nations who set out on a road trip to find a lost love.

Former Daily Show head writer David Javerbaum pitched the idea to Summit and is set to write the screenplay.

Variety also reported earlier this month that Jeong would be joining Ice Cube and Kevin Hart for Ride Along 2, which is set to release on Jan. 15, 2016. Details are being kept under wraps, so we have yet to see what type of role Jeong will have.

Jeong recently finished filming The Duff (Designated Ugly Fat Friend). This one hits theaters sometime in 2015. In the past year, Jeong has also voiced two roles in Turbo and Despicable Me 2, which also featured the voice of Steve Carell.
