Original article: “Apatow Readies “Greek” Movie With Hill and Brand” Judd Apatow seems intent on making leading men out of virtually every bit player he’s ever met. It’s a generous goal, to be sure, and Jonah Hill (“Superbad”) and Russell Brand (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”) will be the next two to enjoy the producer’s predisposition. They’ll be starring in a buddy comedy entitled “Get Him to the Greek,” in which “a fresh-out-of-college insurance adjuster (Hill) is hired to accompany an out-of-control rock star (Brand) from London to a gig at L.A.’s Greek Theater” (Variety). Writer-director Nick Stoller describes “Greek” as “a very dirty take on ‘Almost Famous.’”
Stoller made his directorial debut last Friday with “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” featuring both Brand and Hill in supporting roles. He’s recently lined up two more productions with actor-writer Jason Segel. They will be writing another Apatow film for Stoller to direct called “Five-Year Engagement,” and they will also collaborate on the writing of the next “Muppet Movie.”
