Instead of a gritty action film with furious gods and fire-spewing fiends locked in deadly battle, you will find a heartwarming tale of charm and humour that promises to show us what it means to be human.
Filming is under way in Los Angeles on the romantic comedy, whose all-star cast of movie and TV favourites includes Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) and Kristy Swanson (Buffy), with large cameo roles from Matthew Perry (Friends) and Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman). We previously reported that Resident Evil actress Sienna Guillory and the Farley brothers had also signed on to the production.

Brought to the screen by Magik Shoppe Pictures, the film is directed by Stephen Wallis (Rain from Stars, The Wicked Within) who also produces with John Bennett Perry, Stelio Savante and Tom Fox. Savante also appears in the film as a character called Mitch.
We had the opportunity for an exclusive Q&A with Kevin Sorbo, Stelio Savante and Stephen Wallis. During the interviews, they talked about how they came to be involved in The Whole Banana and why it had appealed to each of them, as well as looking back on their previous work and forward to the projects they have lined up next. They also chatted about their dream roles and favourite films and took us behind the scenes to share some anecdotes from the set.
