'Sarah Marshall' team reunite for 'Greek'

Russell Brand is to reunite with the makers of Forgetting Sarah Marshall for a new comedy.

Get Him to the Greek will be written and directed by Nick Stoller and produced by Judd Apatow.

The Universal movie stars Jonah Hill (Superbad, Knocked Up) as a newly-graduated insurance adjuster hired to escort an out-of-control rock star (Brand) from London to a gig at LA's Greek Theatre.

Stoller told Variety: "During the table read on Sarah Marshall, Jonah and Russell had such a great chemistry. Even though they are such different actors with different styles, I thought there could be a great buddy comedy there."

He described the new movie as a "very dirty take" on Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous.
