[Note from Russ: granted, Passion Play got absolutely dismal reviews at TIFF, but it sounded as if Megan Fox’s work was the very least of the film’s problems.]
As for Apatow’s next film, it will take place several years after Knocked Up and focus on Pete and Debbie, the “normal” family in that film portrayed by Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann. Apatow hasn’t revealed much about the movie, but a few weeks ago, he did say this:
People were really taken by those characters. I think people really emotionally connected to the challenges of their marriage and I thought, you know, they were only a small portion of the movie. I’m a television writer so I always want another episode. I always want another 80 episodes. That’s why after Forgetting Sarah Marshall, we said, ‘What else can we do with this character Russell Brand has created here?’ I felt that way about Pete and Debbie from Knocked Up.
