Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0700

TORONTO – Canadian comic Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and Blackie & the Rodeo Kings band member Tom Wilson have jumped on board the Canadian romantic comedy Please Kill Mr. Know It All.

Mochrie is to play a TV talk show host in the indie feature about a know-it-all advice columnist who meets a love interest-turned-killer.

The feature from co-directors Colin Carter and Sarah Feldman, and produced by Road Child Films, will also see singer/songwriter Wilson play a celebrity whose life is dramatically changed by advice from newspaper columnist Mr. Know It All.

The cast for Please Kill Mr. Know It All also includes Lara Jean Chorostecki, Jefferson Brown, Kristina Pesic and Cliff Saunders.

The Canadian feature is due for a 2012 release.
