The producer involved with the project, Joe Roth, has previously worked with Charlie on five (count 'em, five!) other projects such as Major League and Young Guns.

As for the premise itself, well it looks like Charlie's character may veer off from the original movie role. Apparently his character will have his own anger issues, ironic since he's earned a master's degree in social work and becomes a counselor to defendants in the criminal justice system with you guessed it — anger management issues.
