Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - "Gilmore Girls" fans will jump for joy at the news that Logan Huntzberger is back. Not as Rory's boyfriend, however, but in a new film in which he will take on his first leading role.

Matt Czuchry, who played Logan on "Gilmore Girls," is set to star in the film adaptation of "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell." That seems exactly like something Logan would say.

The film is based on Tucker Max's best-selling guide to life. The film centers on Max's impromptu trip to celebrate his friend's bachelor party. Czuchry will play Max.

Jesse Bradford, from "Flags of our Fathers," and Geoff Stults, "7th Heaven," have signed on as Max's best friends.

Production will begin at the end of the month in Louisiana. Bob Gosse is directing the screenplay, written by Max and co-writer Nils Parker.
