ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

"You don't want to let life get too safe now."
-Charley in WILD HOGS

What if you could take one trip that would change your ordinary life from mild into a wild, freewheeling adventure?

In the rollicking comedy WILD HOGS, four of Hollywood's biggest stars- Tim Allen, two-time Oscar® nominee John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and Academy Award® nominee William H. Macy -star as a group of weekend-warrior friends who decide to rev up their ho-hum suburban lives with one last-hurrah, cross-country motorcycle trip. Taking a long-dreamed-of breather from their jobs and responsibilities, they can't wait to feel the freedom of the open highway. But when these guys hit the road, they have no idea it's going to hit back...hard.

Now, finding themselves in an unwitting rivalry with the real-life, bad-ass biker gang known as the Del Fuegos, and faced with secrets within their own ranks, this out-of-their-league foursome is about to discover that heading down the road to nowhere can take you places you never expected.

Touchstone Pictures presents WILD HOGS, starring Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence and William H. Macy. Co-starring in the film are Golden Globe® nominee Ray Liotta ("Smokin' Aces," "Something Wild"), Academy Award® winner Marisa Tomei ("My Cousin Vinny," "In the Bedroom"), M.C. Gainey ("Mr. Woodcock"), Jill Hennessy ("Crossing Jordan"), Tichina Arnold ("Everybody Hates Chris"), Kevin Durand ("Smokin' Aces") and brothers Jason and Randy Sklar ("Cheap Seats: Without Ron Parker"). Making cameos are Paul Teutul, Sr., and Paul Teutul, Jr., of the popular television series "Orange County Chopper" and "American Chopper," who also lent their custom motorbikes to the production.

WILD HOGS is directed by Walt Becker ("National Lampoon's Van Wilder") from a screenplay by Brad Copeland ("My Name Is Earl," "Arrested Development"). The film is produced by Mike Tollin ("Dreamer") and Brian Robbins ("Norbit") and Todd Lieberman ("The Shaggy Dog"). The executive producers are Amy Sayres ("Meet the Fockers") and Sharla Sumpter Bridgett ("Coach Carter").

The production team who hit the open road on location in New Mexico includes cinematographer Robbie Greenberg ("The Santa Clause 3"), two-time Oscar®-nominated production designer Michael Corenblith ("How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "Apollo 13"), costume designer Penny Rose ("Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy) and editors Christopher Greenbury ("There's Something About Mary," "American Beauty") and Stuart Pappé ("Kicking and Screaming," "American Wedding").
