Judd Apatow says he’s reuniting the cast of his semi-autobiographical comedy “This is 40”, namely Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, for… yep, you guessed it, “This is 50”.
Out promoting his upcoming Netflix comedy “The Bubble”, the “40 Year-Old Virgin” helmer says he’d always fancied the idea of catching up with the characters from the 2012 comedy for a follow-up set ten years down the road.
“I’ve always wanted to make ‘This Is 50’ and it is time”, the filmmaker told The Wrap. “I couldn’t have done it five years ago and I can’t do it five years from now, so I’ve been outlining that and hope it’s something that we get to do. I feel like [‘This Is 40’] has really aged well, and it always feels like everyone watches it when they turn 40 and they go, ‘Oh, I understand it all now’ [laughs]. So I’m enthusiastic about putting that together.”
