Sounds like Jason Segel’s going to be on the stingy end of a break-up again – well, he will be if Universal have their way.
We received word today that the-former-home-of-the-King-Kong attraction is developing a sequel to the moderately (was it that big of a hit?) successful rom-com“Forgetting Sarah Marshallâ€. Everyone from Segel to funnyman Russell Brand has been asked back.
No word on whether Judd Apatow’s producing. No word on whether Kristen Bell’s bikini has been put on stand-by.
Good idea? Bad idea? I think this one fall’s somewhere in the middle- my first question would by ‘Why?’ Doesn’t seem to be a lot of room to go anywhere in a sequel… what, they all go on a European Vacation together or something? Maybe head to Australia where Segel’s latest girlfriend leaves him for Russell Crowe?
Now just because the original cast is being asked back, doesn’t mean they’ll do it – Bell, Brand, Mila Kunis, Jonah Hill and even Segel have got more meatier offers on the table at the moment, so it’s just as likely this thing could end up as a direct-to-video sequel starring Casper Van Dien and Jake Busey.
If it does comes off, with or without the original players, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall †would be the first of the Judd Apatow flicks to spawn a follow-up (Sony recently chatted to the man about doing a “Superbad†sequel but he thought it was a piss poor idea and turned them down)
