At long last, Hooters' cinematic origin story will be told
One of the founders of the "breastaurant" chain will serve as a screenwriter on the buddy comedy-esque Hooters: The Movie .
Hooters, the breastaurant chain, is set to have its cinematic origin story told in an upcoming movie. The film, directed by Jon Rosenbaum, will be produced independently and features a screenplay penned by Phil Olson, Chuck Melcher, and Ed Droste. Droste, one of the original Hooters founders, will play the lead role of "Ted," a guy from small-town Iowa who, with a friend, unintentionally built a national restaurant empire.
The film will follow Ted's journey and his pursuit of Diane, the first Hooters Girl, played by actress Lynne Austin. The movie aims to capture the essence of Hooters' big-hearted culture and humor while highlighting the company's famous Hooters Girls. As the film enters a trend of corporate biopics, it will not only recount the story of Hooters, but also provide a glimpse into the world of well-known brands.
