As the name would suggest, Funny People stars a host of Hollywood’s top comedy names including Adam Sandler, Eric Bana and Jason Schwartzman who are joined by RZA and newcomer Aubrey Plaza in a cast that reunites Judd Apatow with Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Jonah Hill in their third comedy together.
Over the past few years, writer/director Judd Apatow (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) has shown that nothing—not even losing your virginity or the miracle of childbirth—is sacred. About his third film behind the camera, he says, “I’m trying to make a very serious movie that is twice as funny as my other movies. Wish me luck!” Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann in Funny People, the story of a famous comedian who has a near-death experience.
FUNNY PEOPLE hits UK cinemas 28th August 2009. Click on the link above for the trailer.
