Think The Martian, but with three stranded astronauts who are all played by comedians. Such is a summary of what is known so far about the plot of The Something, a comedy that will star Seth Rogen, Zach Galifianakis, and Bill Hader.
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on Feb. 2 that Universal has approved the film, which will be set in space and will star the three comedians, for production. In addition to co-starring, Rogen will co-produce the film through his production company, Point Grey Pictures. Rodney Rotham (22 Jump Street) is set to pen the screenplay, and will also co-produce.
Rogen's upcoming projects include Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, and Galifianakis' include his recently-debuted FX series Baskets. Last month, Deadline reported that Hader would star in Barry, a pilot ordered by HBO about a hitman, as part of a development deal that Hader has with the network.
