HOLLYWOOD
-
Judd Apatow
has enlisted
Eric Bana
,
Jason Schwartzman
and
Jonah Hill
to join
Adam Sandler
,
Seth Rogen
and
Leslie Mann
in his next directorial effort. The film had been untitled thus far but now has a moniker:
Funny People
.
Variety
reports that production will begin in September in LA and the film will be released next summer.
Apatow
, who last wrote and directed
Knocked Up
, was deliberately vague about subject matter,
Variety
reports. He would only allow that the movie takes place in the world of stand-up comedy and the focus is on a comedian who has a near-death experience.
Coincidentally,
Bana
began his career as a comic on the standup circuit in Australia and starred in the sketch comedy series
Full Frontal
and
The Eric Bana Show
before remaking himself as a dramatic actor,
Variety
notes.
Hill
starred in the
Apatow
-produced
Superbad
and
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
. He also appeared in the
Apatow
-directed features
Knocked Up
and
The 40 Year-Old Virgin
.
Mann
is married to
Apatow
and co-starred in
Knocked Up
and
Virgin
.
Apatow
and
Sandler
teamed with
Robert Smigel
to write the script for current release
You Don't Mess with the Zohan
.
Apatow
is also producer of the upcoming
Adam McKay
-directed
Step Brothers
starring
Will Ferrell
and
John C. Reilly
and stoner comedy
Pineapple Express
with
Rogen
and
James Franco
.
