Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman and Eric Bana Added to Funny People

London (CMR) - Earlier in the year it was announced that Judd Apatow was making a film and that Adam Sandler, Leslie Mann and Seth Rogen were involved.

There have been three additions to this line-up which will now have Jonah Hill, Jason Schwarztman and Eric Bana joining the trio.

Hill is no stranger to comedies; he starred in Knocked Up which was directed by Apatow and Superbad produced by Apatow.

Eric Bana’s roots are actually in stand-up comedy which is a surprise to most.

Apatow doesn’t disclose much about his movie only that it’s about stand-up comics and focuses on a comedian who has a near-death experience.

Production begins in mid-September in Los Angeles.
