Megan Fox in talks for a role in Judd Apatow's new untitled comedy
It isn't clear what kind of character Megan Fox will play, although she is set to join Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, who are reprising their same roles from Knocked Up.
Judd Apatow will write and direct the Untitled Judd Apatow Comedy. He will also produce alongside Barry Mendel and Clayton Townsend. Little is known about the plot, although Judd Apatow revealed earlier this month that he wanted to find a way to bring back Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann's characters for this new movie. Here's what he had to say below.
"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."
He also said there might be other cameos from Knocked Up characters in this new project, although it will depend on which actors are available. It isn't known when production will start on the Untitled Judd Apatow Comedy, although a June 1, 2012 release date has already been set.
This Is 40 comes to theaters December 21st, 2012 and stars Megan Fox, Jason Segel, Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd, Melissa McCarthy, Chris O'Dowd, Albert Brooks, John Lithgow. The film is directed by Judd Apatow.

I would see this. Knocked Up, while it wasn't The 40 year-old Virgin or Superbad, was still pretty good. Mann and Rudd have proved they can each carry the load in the comedy genre, so I have no worries about the fact that they didn't have major roles is the first movie.

Err
Ive been a fan of apatow-related entertainment since I was a kid watching the Ben stiller show and the critic, so whatever he does, I'm on board. What I like most about the info here is the idea of fox getting into comedy roles which I think she will pull off nicely considering how well she pulled off her funnier moments in the transformer movies.

Knocked up was pretty funny but i cant see a whole film centered around Rudd and Mann's characters. They were wonderful co-stars but can they pull off an entire feature?
I have serious doubts but i want to see all the same.
