Chase plays himself in the comedy while Hogan stars as an “exaggerated” version of himself.

The two have a solid history together and co-hosted the Oscars along with Goldie Hawn in 1987.

They appeared together in Charlie & Boots about 10 years ago.

The new film will shoot in Vancouver and Los Angeles before it is released in cinemas next year.
