Nick Cannon Selling ’Miracle Cars’Nick Cannon will star in New Line’s Miracle Cars which tells the true story of Robert Gomez and James Nichols – two 19-year-olds who committed the largest auto fraud in U.S. history.

While working as security guards in Carson, CA, the duo sold $21 million worth of nonexistent cars to thousands of churchgoers who thought they were buying cars at bargain prices from a wealthy Christian’s estate.

Producer Andy Cohen found the story in Car and Driver magazine and brought it to screenwriter Don D. Scott. After visiting Gomez in prison to acquire his life rights, they optioned the magazine article and the subsequent book from author John Phillips III, editor-at-large of Car and Driver.

Cannon’s upcoming schedule is busy. The actor is set to star in Universal’s Extra Protection which he wrote and will executive produce. He also wrote, executive produced and will star in the upcoming action-comedy The Underclassman for Miramax. Other upcoming projects include Roll Bounce and the indie Jump Shot.
