Judd Apatow and Nick Stoller try to Get Him to the Greek

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was released not even a week ago, but already we have news on yet another Judd Apatow endeavor for Universal. Nick Stoller will return to direct. Jonah Hill and Russell Brand will also reunite on screen, this time to star.

Both Hill and Brand played supporting roles in Forgetting, but the initial idea for developed during one of the table reads for the film.

“Even though they are such different actors with different styles, I thought there could be a great buddy comedy there,” Stoller told Variety. The idea grew into a film about an insurance agent who has the sole responsibility of making sure an unruly rock band makes it to the Greek Theater in L.A. for their performance.

The film, which is supposedly a “dirty take on Almost Famous,” is slated for release following Apatow’s Drillbit Taylor, Pineapple Express, Step Brothers, The Year One and Five Year Engagement, as well as Stoller’s Muppet Movie and, well, you get it. Basically, much more comedy will ensue in the future.
