Glenwood, Arkansas native and actor Clark Duke (“The Office,” “Hot Tub Time Machine”) is slated to write and direct “Arkansas,” a new film starring Duke himself alongside Vince Vaughn (“Wedding Crashers,” “Old School”) and Liam Hensworth Hemsworth (Oops.) of “The Hunger Games”.
Deadline includes the following synopsis of the film, a description that’s prompting speculation that the film is based on the novel of the same name by John Brandon:
The film follows a pair of low level drug runners in the Dixie Mafia, Kyle (Hemsworth) and Swin (Duke), who live by the orders of an Arkansas-based drug kingpin Frog (Vaughn), whom they’ve never met. But when a deal goes horribly wrong, deadly consequences are soon to rattle the duo’s routine lives.
