The role that place Jon Hamm on everyone’s map, Mr. Don Draper from AMC’s Mad Men is making moves to become a heavyweight on the big screen as well. After strong supporting performances The Town and Friends With Kids. It seems that Jon may be searching for his first starring role reports that he is eyeing a role in the comedy “Epic Fail,” written by first time screenwriter Kevin Costello.

Hamm would star as “a down-on-his-luck high school teacher who recruits two students to stage his wife’s kidnapping so he can play the hero and rekindle their marriage.” We all know how funny Jon Hamm can be from his SNL, and 30 Rock appearances Mr. Hamm doesn’t mind poking fun at himself.

It’s still early in the process however, and Hamm hasn’t signed on the dotted line just yet, but he would be directed byESPN and “Monday Night Football” veteran Mark Teitelman in his feature-length directorial debut. I hope the project I’m anxious to see Jon Hamm’s first departure from being serious, so he can show off his versatility.
