Apatow to Ruin Rock N Roll

Well Variety is reporting that Judd Apatow has signed on to produce "Get Him to the Greek" starring Jonah Hill and Russell Brand (the Brit from Forgetting Sarah Marshall). They are calling it a "really dirty almost famous". It is being directed by Nicholas Stoller. Stoller and Apatow co-wrote the box office smash "Fun With Dick and Jane" which in my humble opinion is some of Tea Leoni's best work. This is sure to be an accurate depiction of what it is like to be a Rockstar. Marky Mark tried to do this a few years back with a more serious version which flopped heavily. If you get home at 3 am on a Saturday night you can catch it on VH1. Hopefully by implementing Apatow's proven formula (i.e. Kicking and Screaming, Drillbit Taylor, and The Cable Guy) and Hill's sweat glands we will be given a laugh riot ride the likes of which we haven't seen since Spinal Tap. I don't know about you, but I smell a lawsuit coming from one Mr. Christopher Guest.
