Andy Samberg to star in The Hand Job (movie)

Thanks to Anony for the scoop! As Anony said, "Andy has signed onto the movie The Hand Job with a great cast written and to be directed by Bill Hader's wife, Maggie! Go Andy!"

==========================



Saturday Night Live's Andy Samberg and Community's Donald Glover have signed on to The Hand Job, a new comedy written and directed by Maggie Carey. Carey's husband, Bill Hader, has already signed on to the film, along with Parks and Recreation's Aubrey Plaza. Plaza will star as a high school valedictorian looking to lose her virginity before she leaves for college. Oh, and Arrested Development's Alia Shawkat has also signed on. Maeby, you've come back to us! [Variety]

==================

Sounds like a typical teen sex comedy, but this one will not be typical, as it is starring some wacky, wacky comedians.

Maggie first directed Aubrey in the Jeannie Tate show series of Web shorts. So now Maggie is going to leverage Aubrey's success, throw three more successful TV actors in there, all who want to build a film career, and you have a win-win movie for everyone (especially the audience). Great idea Maggie!

I'm just not sure if we need to see another losing virginity film where a bunch of actors try to look 10 years younger than they are. The 40 year old virgin had a nice spin on it, but the 18 year old virgin? John Hughes did that like 8 times in the 80s.

And what's with the title (other than controversy)?

Enjoy!
