Funny People is the third film directed by Judd Apatow and the first starring his one-time roommate Adam Sandler. I only mention that because a big part of the story revolves around comedians who are roommates and you wonder how much of that reflects the Apatow/Sandler experience. In fact, the beginning of Funny People starts with a video of a young Sandler making prank phone calls.

Eminem In Funny People
MTVMoviesBlog.com has the first look at Eminem in the upcoming movie, Funny People, directed by Judd Apatow. The movie stars the likes of Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman and now the famous Detroit rapper. What exactly is his role in the film is not yet confirmed but I get the impression he at least had dinner with Adam Sandler at some point during the movie. Seems to me Eminem got off a bit easy on this one. I mean, he gets Bruno’s ass shoved in his face to help promote that movie. I think for Funny People he should have at least had Jonah Hill’s ass somewhere in the vicinity of his nose for at least five minutes. Funny People will be in theatres on July 31st.
Mann/Bank in What Was I Thinking?
Leslie Mann and Elizabeth Banks will star in What Was I Thinking? for New Line.
The comedy, based on the book by Barbara Davilman and Liz Dubelman, centers on a group of girlfriends who take a ski trip after one of them gets dumped.
Mann is in theaters this weekend in 17 Again with Zac Efron. Banks was in theaters earlier this year in The Uninvited, or you can check her out in Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno. You know, the movie about making a porno where she didn’t get naked. Yes, I’m still bitter.
