So now that The Muppets is officially in the can, I guess that this is the next movie that Jason Segel is doing…
At this point I’m not quite sure what to think of it – I’ve never really seen much of Emily Blunt, so not sure what to think there … although I do find it interesting that she seems to be the brunt of a lot of physical comedy throughout the trailer. This is also one of the more romantic-comedy-esque movies that he’s starred in – the next closest that I can recall from his filmography was Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which is one of my favorite comedies of all-time, so that’s a tough bar to beat.
For what it’s worth, though, this is another movie that Jason has written himself – in fact, co-written with Nicholas Stoller, the guy who he just finished The Muppets with, so who knows – maybe this one will surprise us! Due out next April, so we shall see…
