The director of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Nicholas Stoller, returns to the cinema with this hilarious (somewhat) sequel.  While Marshall came across as a bit tedious and forced, Get Him to the Greek delivers on all fronts.  This film is a witty, gut busting, comedy that will bring you to hysterical tears.

Thanks to Funny or Die, the first five minutes of the Nicholas Stoller comedy is now online.

The Forgetting Sarah Marshall director teams up with Russell Brand and Jonah Hill again in this Judd Apatow produced film.  Revisiting the character of Aldous Snow from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Brand gives an outstanding performance along side Hill who plays a record company executive who is entrusted with the task of chaperoning the rock legend to his 10 year anniversary comeback concert at the Greek Theatre in LA in just 3 days.

Jennifer Aniston has never really been able to carry a movie on her own. Her attempts (Derailed, Rumor Has It…, Picture Perfect, The Object Of My Affection) have paid back diminishing returns. When she teams up with a male star, however (Bruce Almighty, Along Came Polly, Marley and Me), she’s usually golden.

The actress is now tapped to co-star the Judd Apatow-produced, David Wain/Ken Marino-penned film Wanderlust, starring Paul Rudd. She’ll take on the film after she’s done with the Seth Gordon-directed comedy Horrible Bosses (with Jaime Foxx, potentially Colin Farrell, Charlie Day and Jason Bateman).

Wanderlust concerns “a married couple trying to escape the trappings of the city life for a counterculture existence.” Shooting will start this fall. [Deadline Hollywood]

Sounds a lot like a lot of movies, but with Rudd, Apatow, Marino and Wain at the helm (and Aniston to help with ticket sales) it might just work.

Are you excited for Wanderlust?

Paul Rudd had always been the link between the Apatow comedy crew and The State comedy crew; but it looks like a delicious P&J sandwich they’re finally coming together. While on the red carpet for the Time 100, Apatow revealed that

“I’m producing a movie that Paul Rudd’s in that’s shooting in the fall which David Wain wrote with Ken Marino, and they’re going to announce that soon.”

Obviously Apatow has churned out quite a few movies lately, but one that is written by members of The State (an 90′s sketch comedy show that featured Wain and Marino) is particularly exciting. It’ll be interesting if it can blend the heart of an Apatow movie with the absurdity of The State.

Are you excited to see David Wain/Ken Marino written Apatow movie?

The Hollywood Reporter has given us the good news that Paul Feig and Judd Apatow will be reteaming for a wedding themed comedy written by and starring Saturday Night Live superstar Kristen Wiig. Feig will direct and Apatow will produce.
