Judd Apatow: TV Guide News

Meet the New Sherlock and Watson: Baron Cohen and Ferrell | Movie News | 7/3/2008
It may be a stretch to picture the man who donned a neon man-kini as the dapper Sherlock Holmes, but Sacha Baron Cohen is nothing if not malleable in his roles. The brain behind Borat is set to play the fictional crime-solving legend, and is teaming up with Will Ferrell as his partner, Watson. Judd Apatow and Jimmy Miller — the same team that first paired the actors in Talladega Nights — will be producing the comedy.Cohen may not be making fun of anyone or even sipping Perrier this time around, but it's a mystery already just trying to envision such a wildly new take on the classic characters. Will the flick be totally brilliant, or too much of a reach? — Anna Dimond read more

Let's Write Judd Apatow's Next Film | Today's News: Our Take | 3/10/2008
Variety has announced that Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann will costar in the next film that Judd Apatow will direct. And that's pretty much all they've announced, as the film doesn't yet have a title and the plot is reportedly top-secret.But we know the formula by now, right? Can't we write this sucker on our own? Sandler and Mann play a married couple. Sandler is a henpecked writer who misses hanging out with the boys (to be played by James Franco, Jason Segel and Jonah Hill). Mann plays his ball-busting wife, who is prone to both profanity and crying jags. Rogen is his bad-influence college roommate, with whom he sneaks off to smoke pot, play video games, drink Jägermeister and talk about chicks. Mann discovers that Sandler is not tutoring less-fortunate kids for the SATs but practicing for a beer-pong tournament in Rogen's basement (cameo by Christopher Walken as a disgraced Olympic table-tennis coach).

Mother Star and Apatow Announce Their Engagement | Today's News: Our Take | 3/1/2008
Getting Knocked Up was clearly not enough for Judd Apatow and How I Met Your Mother's Jason Segel. The pair's now teaming up for yet another comedy: Five-Year Engagement, which follows the relationship between Segel's character and his fiancée for... yes, five years. According to Variety, the flick promises to be a couples' comedy, with a raw humor that Apatow fans can likely anticipate already. Writer-director Nick Stoller explains, "It's definitely an extension of our desire to explore the depth of human misery."But before the Engagement we'll see another Stoller-Segel collabo, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which also stars Kristen Bell. Stoller describes Engagement by comparison, saying, "If Sarah Marshall and Jason's character had stayed together, this might be the sequel." — Anna Dimond read more
