I guess moviegoers and critics aren’t the only ones who liked Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Wait, isn’t that just about everyone? No, we’ve forgotten about the film’s producer Judd Apatow. Apparently he was pretty happy with how it turned out too, because he’s re-teaming with the movie’s director Nick Stoller for yet another comedy.

Variety says they’re working on a movie called Get Him to the Greek, which Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-stars Jonah Hill and Russell Brand will star in. Stoller will write and direct this one, with Apatow presumably once again producing.

The movie casts Hill as a fresh out of college insurance adjuster tasked with getting an out of control rock star from London to his next gig in Los Angeles. The rock star will, of course, be played by Brand who ran away with every scene he showed up in as yet another half-crazed rocker in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Basically, what we’re talking about here is a spin-off movie for Brand’s rocker character. Sounds like a perfect idea to me.

Apatow confirms that Sarah Marshall had a lot to do with getting this project off the ground. In fact he tells Variety that it was the chemistry between Brand and Hill during Sarah Marshall table reads which inspired him to throw them together in their own movie.
