Jonah Hill has Pure Imagination

Judd Apatow, the man who brought us The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, is the comedy equivalent of Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars – he’s planning to unleash his apprentices on all of Hollywood.

But while Judd keeps busy directing, producing and avoiding large, inexplicably unguarded shafts, his comedy Sith warriors are spreading.

Sounds like good stuff, and while it might break the mould of regular Apatow comedies and dabble in some CGI, it will stick to his core ideas of being about people: It’s essentially a relationship movie, but the whole time I’m trying to avoid finding out whether she’s real or not,” Hill explained. “I don’t want to know, basically. And then, my best friend who I go to for advice, is an imaginary person that I’ve made up in my mind.” With luck, it should be shooting next year.
