Moriarty In Hawaii, Part One! Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, And Russell Brand! Plus Wiig And Hill! FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL!!

Friday, August 10th, 2007

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.

Let’s get the disclosure issue out of the way up front, okay? Universal paid for me to fly to Hawaii and offered me a room at the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore, where I was asked to spend a week onset for the new film FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL. I paid to bring my wife and my boy along with me out of my own pocket, turning this business trip into a semi-vacation for the family.

If any of that rubs you the wrong way, consider yourself completely informed.

Having said that, this was a great week on all fronts and I am highly encouraged about what looks to be another winner from producers Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson. They were so nice to me that I almost feel bad about what I’m going to do here. See, they’ve come up with this revolutionary secret theory for how to make great comedy movies, and I’m going to reveal that secret theory in this article. I know… that may be a betrayal of trust, giving up the thing that’s made them so rich and powerful… but I think it’s got to happen. It’s too groundbreaking to keep to myself.
