Danica McKellar, who portrayed Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years, and Apolo Ohno, also known for his turn on Dancing with the Stars, will star in Tasmanian Devil. The movie, also starring Jericho's Kenneth Mitchell, features base jumpers in a remote Tasmanian national park, who are pursued by grizzly bear-sized -- you guessed it -- Tasmanian Devils.

The film is slated to begin production in British Columbia this month, and will premiere in 2012.
