The thing I like most about Judd Apatow's comedy troupe is that they don't sit around and wait for job offers, they write their own movies so they can star in them. Right now Jason Segel is off filming his first script and it seems Jonah Hill is not far behind. He told MTV that he'll be starring in yet another Apatow-produced flick, Pure Imagination. Hill wrote the script and will produce along with Apatow and will apparently follow a guy who isn't sure whether his new girlfriend is real or not.

According to Hill, "Basically, I go through a bunch of traumatic stuff, and I develop an imaginary friend. Then what happens is I meet a girl, and we start dating ... but the problem is I don't know whether she [actually] exists [or] whether she's a figment of my imagination. It's basically a relationship movie, but the whole time I'm trying to avoid finding out whether she's real or not." Hill goes on to say that the goal is to mix their brand of down-to-earth relatable humor with some of the more extravagant (in terms of visuals) stuff you'll find in a Spike Jonze or Michel Gondry film. "It's kind of like a little bit artsier," he notes.
