The Director Of SUPERBAD Goes To ADVENTURELAND!!


Merrick again...

Greg Mottola (no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to not type Motorola when typing his name, damn it), director of SUPERBAD, has his next gig lined up.

It's called ADVENTURELAND, which is...

...a period comedy set in the late-80s. The film will tell the story of a college grad ready to summer in Europe before starting grad school. Only problem is his father just got laid off and now he's stuck at home in Long Island. Forced to get a job and support himself, he gets a job at the local amusement park Adventureland where comedy abounds and he falls in love.

...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.

The film will be based around Mottola's real-life experiences working at Long Island's Adventureland...which is no relation to the Adventureland region of Disneyland...which may be where my mom mooned Winnie the Pooh? Not sure if Pooh Bear hangs in Adventureland...can't recall...
