Eric Bana in Talks for Judd Apatow/Adam Sandler Dramedy?
When you look at Eric Bana's resume in Hollywood, you probably wouldn't expect him to show up in a big, splashy comedy. But, back home in Australia, Bana was known for the funny; he's just never had the chance to show it stateside ... until now. CHUD reports that Bana is in talks with Judd Apatow to star in the Untitled Judd Apatow/Adam Sandler Project. According to CHUD's source, Bana would play boyfriend to Leslie Mann.
Just a few days ago, Eugene brought us our first glimpse of the film's plot. Now we know that the flick will focus on the world of stand-up comedians (and for some reason, all I can think of now is Punchline ... but with stand-ups who are actually funny). The project had been on our radar since March, but beyond the good news that Apatow was actually going to direct this time, there wasn't much to report.
Bana is currently wrapping up work on Star Trek and the romantic weepy, The Time Traveler's Wife, before heading off to his next couple of projects. First up is the animated story, Mary and Max, about the friendship between a young girl and a recluse. Then he'll star alongside Terrence Howard in Factor X, a thriller about the BTK killer. At this point I'm starting to hope these Apatow rumors are true, because it looks like Bana could use a laugh.
The Untitled Judd Apatow/Adam Sandler Project is expected to arrive in theaters (with or without Bana) on July 31, 2009.

Re: Funny People (2009)
Oh that speedo pic. Yep, that's a very good one.
I like VF alot, Browneyes. I read mostly the articles about old Hollywood (they don't make movie stars like that anymore), about current affairs and I am an avid, if not a little obsessive, fan of Mr. Dominick Dunne. Nobody writes like him. The Way We lived Then, Recollections of a Well-Known Name Dropper (a book Dunne wrote in 1999, i think) is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's extremely well written and absolutely facsinating (with plenty of pics and anecdotes of post-war hollywood, celebrities, moguls and solialites).
