Oh man -- I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall again over the weekend (I first saw it at SXSW back in March) and the laughs held up beautifully; it really is a comic treasure, even if it does suffer a bit from the typical Apatow bloat. So this is great news for me: director Nicholas Stoller is reteaming with Judd Apatow for Get Him to the Greek, a comedy starring Sarah Marshall's Jonah Hill and Russell Brand. Hill will play a young insurance adjuster assigned to get a wild rock star (Brand) from London to LA's Greek Theater for a gig. I don't dispense headline exclamation points willy-nilly, so you know I'm excited.

The idea was apparently hatched at a Sarah Marshall table read, where Hill and Brand exhibited a surprising chemistry. They only had a few scenes together in that film, and since I thought Hill's character was generally a weak spot, I spent most of those scenes being mildly annoyed. But I've seen Superbad, so I know that Hill has the funny, and Brand, whom I had never heard of before Sarah Marshall, has some of the movie's biggest laughs. So: more, please.

Stoller will write Get Him to the Greek in addition to getting back in the director's chair. He has some other projects in the works, including Five Year Engagement, which he will direct and co-write with Jason Segel. He's also working with Segel on his planned Muppet movie. And he co-wrote the screenplay for Jim Carrey's Yes Man, due in December. Busy guy; lucky, too.

I shouldn't admit it, but I am losing track of what all Judd Apatow is bringing to the screen in the coming months. It is like he is producing or directing everything!

At any rate, there's a new one on the horizon. Variety reports that Judd Apatow, Nick Stoller and Jason Segel are teaming up again with Universal Pictures for Five Year Engagement. They are fresh off their last collaboration, the upcoming Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Segel and Stoller will once again co-write the script, with Segel reassuming leading man duties. Apatow will produce with Shauna Robertson. Not surprisingly, it is another raunchy comedy about a couple, this time charting the ups and downs of one that is engaged to be married. "It's definitely an extension of our desire to explore the depth of human misery," Stoller says. "If Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) and Jason's character had stayed together, this might be the sequel."

I think we can all agree that no one captures the ugliness of a relationship quite as well as Apatow's crew. Will the formula be utterly worn out by Five Year Engagement, or is there still plenty of miserable depth to explore?
