Though Judd Apatow couldn't score a #1 with Forgetting Sarah Marshall, he is still ready to re-team with director Nick Stoller and, you guessed it, he has his usual bag of tricks ready.
Judd Apatow, Nick Stoller, Jonah Hill and Russell Brand Team for Get Him to the Greek
Stoller has been picked up to write and direct Get Him to the Greek, which centers on a fresh-out-of-college insurance adjuster (Hill) who is hired to accompany an out-of-control rock star (Brand) from London to a gig at L.A.'s Greek Theater.
Jonah Hill has been keeping his acting skills sharp with a cameo in Sarah Marshall, the same film Nick Stoller made his feature directing debut on.
"During the table read on Sarah Marshall, Jonah and Russell had such a great chemistry," said Stoller, who described Greek as a very dirty take on Almost Famous. "Even though they are such different actors with different styles, I thought there could be a great buddy comedy there."
Stoller is currently co-writing and will direct the comedy Five-Year Engagement for Universal, with Sarah Marshall's Jason Segal co-writing and attached to star.
