If you were going to travel around the world and seek some adventure, you sure could do a lot worse in the companion category than Jason Segel, Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman. Just think of all the smart-alecky comments as they march alongside you, all the hijinks they’d get into visiting world’s most famous tourist traps, and all the different jails you’d probably land in. Ahh, good times.

Soon enough you won’t have to imagine it anymore: the comedy team is beginning work on “The Adventurer’s Handbook” under the watchful eyes of director/Lonely Island member Akiva Schaffer. Read more...

Wolverine'I Love You, Man” has established its legacy. Not because it came out at a time when the nebulous idea of the pop culture bromance had started cropping up in newspaper trend pieces. Not because the film, starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel as unlikely best buds, grossed over $70 million dollars at the box office. “I Love You, Man” has secured its spot in the cultural lexicon because the king of Hollywood comedies, Judd Apatow, has lovingly poked fun at it in one of his movies.

As writer/director John Hamburg tells MTV News, “There’s a line in ‘Funny People’ where a guy tells Adam Sandler’s character, ‘Oh, your career is hot—Paul Rudd wants to star in a bromance with you.’ I emailed Judd and said, ‘Do you have a director for that project?’” Read more...

'Emily Blunt'The story appeared more than 300 years ago, but it seems as if Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels” was written with the specific idea that one day Jack Black might portray the title character. Lemuel Gulliver, after all, is a giant among the tiny Lilliputian people he encounters after a shipwreck, a man whose fish-out-water energy both meshes with and disrupts life for the native population.

Joining in the adventure -- which is part satire on the human condition, part fantastical travel epic, part absurdist comedy -- will be Emily Blunt. While promoting her newest film, “Sunshine Cleaning,” the British actress revealed fresh details about a “Gulliver’s” production that is still very much under wraps. Read more...

Russell Brand was in true form on an elevator ride discussing his upcoming "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" sequel "Get Him to the Greek." The free-speaking Brit bit his tongue when it came to revealing cast additions, but he did confirm a few returning actors and revealed one noteworthy detail about Jason Segel's contributions.

“Jason Segel’s writing some songs for it,” Brand told MTV News. "Jason’s written some songs for [Brand's character] Aldous Snow to sing." Read more...

Some start their day with a plate of ham and eggs, and for others it's a power bar of some sort. And for millions of Americans it's as many ounces of coffee as they can ingest on their way to work. But Paul Rudd is different than most of us. Better? That's not for me to say. But certainly different. When I chatted with the "I Love You, Man" recently he (and co-star Jason Segel) revealed a breakfast love that is dare not spoken. Check it out and then click here to watch the rest of our zany interview with Paul Rudd and Jason Segel.

Who wouldn't want Paul Rudd or Jason Segel for a best bud? Indeed in their new film out next week, "I Love You, Man" they serve that role for each other. But when I caught up with the very funny duo last weekend I had one ulterior motive in mind: join the gang! I knew it was a longshot but you can't fault a guy for trying. And at the very least I love the moment when Jason seems a bit jealous. "Wow, you guys have hung out way more than we have!" Score one for the little guy! Check out the full Rudd/Segel Rough Cut here.

Could you convince Paul or Jason to let you into their circle of friends? How would you do it?!?

There's a new level of friendship lately and it's called bromance. MTV even has an entire show dedicated to it. So what is it? In short, it's two guys bonding and often times there's a comedy element involved.

Now Paul Rudd is bringing bromance to the big screen with "I Love You, Man," where his character realizes -- when he needs to pick a best man -- that he has no guy friends. Thus, he goes searching and along comes Jason Segel. Below, check out the scene from where they first meet, and then catch "I Love You, Man" in theaters March 20.

Emily BluntJack Black has some friends to hang out with in Lilliput. Variety reports that Emily Blunt and Jason Segel have signed on for Rob Letterman's "Gulliver's Travels," a re-imagining of the Jonathan Swift classic.

Black will play Lemuel Gulliver, a travel writer who takes an assignment to the Bermuda Triangle and ends up washing ashore on the island of Lilliput, where he is a giant among the tiny population. Blunt will play a Lilliputian princess who falls for Black. Segel will play Horatio, a Lilliput native who quickly becomes Guilliver's best friend, and who helps him escape when he is captured.

Jason Segel

Jason Segel, star of last year’s “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” has already made it known that he intends to work with Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy and all the other Muppets. The question now, however, is whether Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen and all Segel’s flesh-and-blood funnymen will come along for the ride as well.

Last March, actor/writer Segel announced that he‘d be trying his comedic hand at a new “Muppets” movie – and was eager to fill the movie with cameos - hopefully making Jim Henson’s beloved puppet characters hip once again to the Judd Apatow generation.

“We're several drafts in,” Segel said of the film’s current status. “And just waiting to see if it's going to come together.” Read more...
