The team behind Forgetting Sarah Marshall is to re-assemble for Get Him To The Greek. Nick Stoller will direct the story of a fledgling insurance adjuster who is, for reasons as yet unclear (to those of us poorly versed in the ways of insurance), hired to accompany a hedonistic rock star to a gig at L.A.'s Greek Theater.
Jonah Hill will play the insurance adjuster, with Russell Brand playing the rock star. Brand seems to have been, erm, branded as a rock star by Apatow, since he plays a lothario rocker in Sarah Marshall. But since he is, fairly surprisingly, the funniest thing in that film (seriously, even if you think you hate him, he's actually really good) we're very glad that he'll be given a larger role in this next film. With roles in You Don't Mess With The Zohan and Adam Sandler's Bedtime Stories, Brand may be staring down the business end of a very successful Hollywood career.
