So how quickly can Judd Apatow turn around a movie? With a projected release date of January 2011 (yep, that’s just six months away), Universal hopes that he will take a cue from Clint Eastwood and help turn this around quickly.
Judd Apatow has signed on to produce “Business Trip” with his wife Leslie Mann set to star. No word who the director on the project is (or if he will end up doing it himself), but the project has been kicking around at Universal since last year. Based on a pitch by Stacey Harman, the film is about “a group of women who go on a corporate trip but wind up doing anything but business while on company time.”
It’s kind of funny, we were just talking around The Playlist watercooler this morning about the dearth of decent female-led comedies, but with the Apatow-produced “Bridesmaids” and now “Business Trip,” we hope that drought will end soon.
