AOL Weird News has an article (via Stallion Italian comment) about the lack of a big budget competitive eating movie that contains an interview with independent filmmaker Niko Hronopoulos, producer of the "The Eater" a twelve minute parody of competitive eating. A Wing Bowl movie and a competitive eating film by Josh Heald, writer of "Hot Tub Time Machine" were in production around 2005-06, but both projects have apparently been tabled.
