     Going where no movie has gone before, "jackass the movie" is a feature-
     length film with the original creators and cast of the hugely successful
     MTV series "Jackass."  Shot in Pennsylvania, Japan, Florida and
     California, the film will feature the 'Jackasses' performing their wildly
     absurd signature antics, and push the envelope even further with a slew
     of brand-new silly pranks and outrageous stunts.

     Paramount Pictures and MTV Films present "jackass the movie."
     A Dickhouse Production in association with Lynch Siderow Productions,
     the film stars Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Steve-O,
     Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Preston Lacy and Ehren
     McGhehey.  The film is directed by new kid on the block Jeff Tremaine,
     who serves as producer with Spike Jonze and Johnny Knoxville.  The
