“Mother” and “Mars” stars team for new comedy
Spunky teen telly detective, Kristen Bell, has signed to star in a new comedy from “How I Met Your Mother” actor Jason Segel.
Segel will star in a film based on his own script called “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”, says Production Weekly, the story of a guy trying to cope after breaking up with his TV-star girlfriend.
After a devastating break-up with his girlfriend TV sitcom star Sarah Marshall (Bell), a heartbroken and depressed Peter (Segel) heads to Hawaii, for a little vacation to try his best to forget every detail of his relationship with Sarah. But love laughs at Peter, because Sarah is vacationing in the same exclusive resort as Peter, along with her new boyfriend.
The project gets up in mid-April, at which time Bell has eight weeks off from “Veronica Mars”.
Bell is also attached to co-star with William H. Macy “Antique”, which follows the intersecting lives of eight residents in Echo Park, as they all search for the strength to break free from the pains of their past. Bell would play Claire, a young girl who after befriending a homeless man (Macy) learns the only way to improve her life is to leave the people who have been holding her back.
