A new spoof film is to poke fun at the likes of fantasy flicks Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

Shooting on Henry Bates and the Sorcerer's Balls will begin shortly, according to industry magazine Variety at the weekend.

Co-writer David Morgansen said: "Our good wizard is Gandolfini, who goes against the evil wizard Enron. The quest involves Henry Bates, the rightful king of the land of Middlefinger."
