"In a bold move that has stunned
Hollywood insiders, newly-divorced comeback-kid
Troy McClure has turned down the supporting lead in
McBain IV to
direct and
star in his own pet project:
The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel. Will the
gambit pay off?
20th Century Fox is betting... it will."
