Aziz Ansari will star in three movie projects to be helmed by Jason Woliner for Judd Apatow and Universal Pictures. The news comes after Aziz and Jason, who directed “Beauty Pageant“, had breakfast with Apatow.
Says Aziz to Variety:
We didn’t expect all three to work. We had a breakfast meeting with Judd and pitched them. We were like, “Which one do you like?” He wanted all three. … We are hesitant to say too much about our ideas. A few years ago, we announced our new idea about a film where the world ended in the year 2014. We have since had to stop developing this movie.
I’m very excited to announce that Jason Woliner and I have sold 3 movies to Judd Apatow and Universal! I am attached to star and Jason will direct.
One idea is tentatively titled “Let’s Do This” and is a road movie about two guys that work for a motivational speaking company.
Another idea is about two disgraced astronauts who have to go back to space to clear their names.
And the other idea is a movie based around Randy, my character from “Funny People.”
We’re currently working on all three ideas now and haven’t decided which we will go with first.
Needless to say, we are very excited to be working with Judd on these projects. Unfortunately, this does however put Jason and I’s plan to remake Short Circuit 2 (with myself playing the Michael McKean role in a revolutionary new makeup technique called “peachface”) on hold indefinitely.
Congrats to Aziz and Jason, who will direct the three projects!
