Re-team alert! Sarah Marshall's Nick Stoller, Judd Apatow, Jonah Hill and Russell Brand join forces for GET HIM TO THE GREEK!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Nick Stoller is a busy dude. He has a Universal project with Sarah Marshall's star Jason Segel as well as the reinvention of THE MUPPETS he's doing with Segel... Now he's got another project called GET HIM TO THE GREEK gathering steam. Apatow returns to produce and Jonah Hill will star alongside Russell Brand, who I thought was fucking hilarious in FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL.

Stoller describes the story as a dirty Almost Famous. Hill will be a fresh-out-of-college insurance adjuster who is hired to keep a British rock star in line and out of trouble on his way from a gig in London to a gig at LA's Greek theater.

Maybe Brand is getting typecast a bit as the crazy British rocker, but why not? He's good at it.

The more these guys want to do together the better as far as I'm concerned. You?
