Segments of the series, which will be aired on Sky 1 in June, were filmed in his hometown of Boyle. Just to recap, in Knocked Up Ben and Allison (Rogen and Heigl) get together and have a baby. O'Dowd recently wrapped production on Wayne Blair's debut feature, Australian musical The Sapphires. The musical powerhouse, based on a popular stage show, was shot across Australia and Vietnam and produced by Goalpost Australia. He is to write and executive produce a new American comedy series called Big Men., after NBC won the bidding war for it. O'Dowd has been announced as a cast member in the Knocked Up sequel This Is 40. He based his character on people in Hoxton who "wear skinny jeans and hate the world, which comes from an inability to deal with women." He described "fighting over Megan Fox in a pool" during filming as "one of the most fun things I've ever done". In April 2011, he starred in the BBC adaptation of The Crimson Petal and the White as William Rackham and appeared in the May 2011 release Bridesmaids as Officer Nathan Rhodes. ![]() In 2010, O'Dowd took part in Little Crackers, writing and directing a short film loosely based on his own childhood and Christmas in his family home from 1984 to 1988. O'Dowd appeared in the 2010 film Dinner for Schmucks, an American version of a French farce called Le Dîner de Cons. He also appeared on panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks, and starred in an ITV2 comedy series entitled FM. The film co-stars Albert Brooks, Megan Fox, Jason Segel, Chris O’Dowd, Lena Dunham, Melissa McCarthy, John Lithgow, Charlyne Yi, Maude and Iris Apatow and more, including Ryan Lee from “ Super 8” who apparently plays Maude’s love-interest in the film (see the clip below). “This Is 40” lands in theaters on December 21st.Chris O'Dowd is an Irish actor and comedian. “And after Nick Stoller and Jason Segel made ‘ Forgetting Sarah Marshall,’ I thought it was a fantastic idea to do a movie about Russell Brand’s character, which became ‘ Get Him to the Greek.’ I thought, ‘Yes, you can do a legitimate movie that’s about someone you met in a different film,’ and when I told Universal, they didn’t think I was insane for thinking this would be an interesting exploration, just like ‘ Rhoda‘ was an interesting exploration after ‘ The Mary Tyler Moore Show.’ “įilm Comment also provide three new images from the film which you can see below and above. ‘ Pineapple Express‘ came out of an idea I had when I was watching ‘ True Romance.’ I just thought the Brad Pitt character was so funny he’s a mess, he’s on drugs and suddenly people are trying to kill him, and I thought, ‘I want to watch a whole movie where this guy’s trying to get away from killers but it’s really hard because he’s high,’ ” he explained. I like characters in certain movies and I wish they had their own, stand-alone movies. “Part of it is also that I wish more people made movies like this. Maybe on the DVD extras which tend to be rather long in Apatow films (and the film itself is over two hours).But, why a spin-off film you ask? Well, as Apatow notes in part of his response, he’s kind of made, or at least been part of, three of them so far. A glimpse at what probably happened to Ben and Alison, even though it’s not in the final film. They’re a fabricated, exaggerated version of Leslie and myself at two different ages.” They were always meant to be the future for them, and in a lot of ways in ‘Knocked Up,’ Ben and Alison and Pete and Debbie are meant to be the same couple. But when I was conceiving the movie, my interest wasn’t in what happened to Ben and Alison, because Pete and Debbie in a way are Ben and Alison. “I shot a version where Pete talks about how Ben and Alison live in Atlanta where she works for CNN. “I shot some stuff, in case the audience demanded to know,” Apatow said in a recent interview with Film Comment. Ben gave it to me last Christmas.” And evidently that’s the only reference to the couple at all.īut apparently Apatow tried to include further nods to the couple, but they didn’t make the final cut. In the script (and final movie) Pete says in one scene referenced in the trailers, “You know what I brought? A medical marijuana cookie. screenwriter Brian Dunfield), there is no cameo, and no real mention of the duo, aside from a pot-cookie reference that can be found in the script that was recently put online by Universal. recently (here’s one early review) and as suggested (and confirmed by L.A. ![]() Jason Segel Says Judd Apatow Made ‘Freaks and Geeks’ Cast Stars Out of ‘Revenge’ for Series Cancellation ![]()
