NotTV: Johnny Knoxville's tribute to hapless NJ fun spot

[Bob Jersey]

The "Jackass" and ...Bad Grandpa star resurfaces for a new feature film inspired by what for years was Action Park (Wiki link), a Sussex County attraction once billed as the world's largest water park but plagued by serious and sometimes-fatal injuries to visitors... or, as Knoxville put it, "as if [we], instead of doing 'Jackass,' decided to open a theme park"... possibly to avoid the Joisey unions, the flick will be made in South Africa...

20th (perhaps before the Disney acq?) and Hulu separately picked up rights to a book co-written by the son of the park's founder...

Well, of course it's not the Johnny Knoxville project -- that movie, titled "Action Point," was released two years ago to bad reviews and was a box-office bomb: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Point
