Judd Apatow to Produce Year One
Here's the deal:
Now that Judd Apatow is kind of a big(ger) deal, let the profiting from his name begin! Variety is reporting that Apatow will produce a comedy called Year One, starring Jack Black and Michael Cera. The article has no details about the movie's plot, but does mention that some of the script's writers also worked on "The Office," and Owen Wilson will be an executive producer.
Here's what I hope will happen:
Merely producing a project doesn't necessarily mean Apatow will be closely involved in forming of the movie, so my hopes that Apatow could work his magic and bring the funny back for Jack Black may not be realized. At the very least, here's hoping the hilarious Michael Cera paired with Black will make for some laughs.
