Anthony Anderson stars as Malcolm King, a wealthy and arrogant businessman whose ex-wife to be has plans to take him for everything he’s worth in their divorce settlement. Determined to avoid losing his fortune to her, Malcolm plans his own kidnapping with the help of his dim-witted mistress and her ex-con brother. Unfortunately for Malcolm, he is not the only one with a kidnapping plot. King’s Ransom is directed by Jeff Byrd and scheduled for a 2005 release.
Everybody wants a piece of Malcolm King...
A successful and wealthy businessmen, with plenty of attitude to spare, Malcolm (Anthony Anderson) has made more than his share of enemies over the years, including his soon-to-be ex-wife (Kellita Smith) and his overworked, under-appreciated employees. Not wanting to go through a messy and expensive divorce played out in the media, Malcolm devises a plan to save his money from his wife’s eager hands. Along with the help of his mistress, Peaches (Regina Hall), Malcolm plots his own kidnapping in order to secure a fictitious ransom so extremely high that, once paid, the public will think he’s broke and unable to meet his wife’s financial demands.
But unbeknownst to Malcolm, he’s not the only one with a kidnapping plan. Not only his wife, but one of his long-suffering employees (Nicole Parker) and a dim-witted local bumpkin (Jay Mohr), have all cooked up separate schemes of their own, each more ridiculous than the next. What results is a wild, comedic ride for Malcolm that will change his life forever.
Directed by Jeff Byrd, King’s Ransom stars Anthony Anderson (Barbershop, Malibu’s Most Wanted) opposite a talented supporting cast that includes Jay Mohr (host of TV’s “Last Comic Standing”), Kellita Smith (“The Bernie Mac Show”), Nicole Parker (Brown Sugar), Regina Hall (Scary Movie, Malibu’s Most Wanted), Loretta Devine (Kingdom Come), Donald Faison (TV’s “Scrubs”), Leila Arcieri (Daddy Day Care), Brooke D’Orsay (Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle) and comedian Charlie Murphy (Comedy Central’s “Chapelle’s Show”).
