Apatow, Rogen hooking up for 'Super Bad' pic
Good pairing in 'Bad'
July 14, 2006
Judd Apatow is reuniting with his "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" star Seth Rogen for the comedy "Super Bad" at Columbia Pictures. Apatow is producing the high school-themed film, while Rogen is penning the screenplay with Evan Goldberg and will co-star.
Greg Mottola ("The Daytrippers"), who directed several episodes of Apatow's short-lived TV series "Undeclared," will helm "Super Bad," with Apatow regular Jonah Hill and Michael Cera on board to star. "Saturday Night Live's" Bill Hader is in talks to co-star.
The story revolves around two co-dependent high school seniors (Hill and Cera) who set out to score alcohol for a party, believing that girls will then hook up with them and they will be ready for college. But as the night grows more chaotic, overcoming their separation anxiety becomes a greater challenge than getting the girls.
Apatow brought the screenplay to Columbia, and UTA packaged the project. The studio is fast-tracking "Super Bad,"– with a fall start date being eyed.
Sony's Matt Tolmach and Jonathan Kadin will shepherd for the studio.
Shauna Robertson ("Virgin") is producing alongside Apatow, while Rogen and Goldberg are executive producing.
Mottola, who also directed multiple episodes of "Arrested Development," worked with Cera on the critically acclaimed TV series on which the teenage actor starred as George-Michael Bluth. Mottola is repped by UTA and attorneys Warren Dern and Robert Offer. Cera, who next stars in Dimension Films' comedy "Parental Guidance Suggested," is handled by Paradigm, Thruline Entertainment and attorney James Feldman.
Hill, whose credits include "Virgin," next appears in the high school comedy "Accepted," "Evan Almighty" and Apatow's "Knocked Up." He is repped by UTA, Principato-Young and attorney Karl Austen.
Rogen, whose writing credits include "Undeclared," "Da Ali G Show" and the Owen Wilson starrer "Drillbit Taylor," is onscreen in "You, Me and Dupree." He is handled by UTA, manager Marsha McManus and attorney Fred Toczek.
Goldberg's writing credits include "Da Ali G Show." He is repped by UTA and attorney Toczek.
Hader ("You, Me and Dupree") is repped by UTA and Odenkirk Talent Management.
Apatow is repped by UTA, manager Jimmy Miller and attorneys Bryan Wolf and Sam Fischer.
