The Hollywood Reporter has given us the good news that Paul Feig and Judd Apatow will be reteaming for a wedding themed comedy written by and starring Saturday Night Live superstar Kristen Wiig. Feig will direct and Apatow will produce. This is a big deal seeing as how both of them worked together to produce the cult classic television series Freak and Geeks; which not only launched their careers but the ones of Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, Busy Phillips, Martin Starr and Samm Levine.
The film is supposed to be centered around two women who are competing over who can plan their friend’s wedding. I presume that Wiig will play one of the friends. I really hope that this is good and won’t be another Bride Wars (which was written by SNL alum Casey Wilson) because it is Wiig‘s time to break out. Her shtick is becoming somewhat tiring on SNL and it’s about time that she left and started a sure to be long movie career.
Did you like Freaks and Geeks? Are you excited for this project?
