The Hammer is an upcoming comedy starring Adam Carolla and Heather Juergensen. Carolla portrays Jerry Ferro, a retired amateur boxer. The film is set to release in 2007. Approaching forty, Ferro is unsatisfied with his life as a construction worker and part-time boxing instructor in Los Angeles. After a successful bout with a young pro boxer, Ferro decides to don the gloves one last time. The movie recounts his unlikely quest for Olympic gold. Along the way he receives encouragement from his friend and co-worker, Oswaldo Sánchez (Oswaldo Castillo), and love interest Lindsay Pratt (Juergensen). Ferro’s life is based on Adam Carolla’s real experiences as a day-worker in L.A.
The Hammer was conceived by Adam Carolla and writer Kevin Hench. It was directed by Charles Herman-Wurmfeld and independently produced by Eden Wurmfeld, reuniting the team that created the 2001 independent hit Kissing Jessica Stein. Filming was completed in late July of 2006.
