The project is a spoof of popular �sword-and-sandal� films, such as 300, Troy, Gladiator, and Braveheart, but is centered on the fresh and funny tale of �Awesomest Maximus� (Will Sasso), an unconventional General who reluctantly agrees to do whatever he can to ensure that he and his nagging wife �Hottessa� (Loken) become the next King and Queen of Troy. His villainous counterpart �Testiclees� is played by Ian Ziering. Other notable cast members include Sophie Monk as �Princess Ellen� and Tony Cox as �Minoritees�. There are also supporting appearances from well-known comedians Ahmed Ahmed (You Don�t Mess with the Zohan), Russell Peters (Quarter-Life Crisis), the Sklar Brothers, and Eddie Pepitone (Old School). �We had a great time making �National Lampoon�s Legend of Awesomest Maximus�.
