Over the past few years, writer/director Judd Apatow (˝The 40-Year-Old Virgin,˝ ˝Knocked Up˝) has shown that nothing—not even losing your virginity or the miracle of childbirth—is sacred. About his third film behind the camera, he says, ˝I´m trying to make a very serious movie that is twice as funny as my other movies. Wish me luck!˝ Apatow directs Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann in ˝Funny People,˝ the story of a famous comedian who has a near-death experience.

Adam Sandler, Eric Bana, Jason Schwartzman, RZA and newcomer Aubrey Plaza join a cast that reunites Judd Apatow with Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Jonah Hill in their third comedy together.
