EW has the first look at Michael Cera and Jack Black in the Harold Ramis-directed, Judd Apatow-produced biblical comedy “Year One.”
We actually read the script earlier this year and don’t think we had an opportunity to discuss it, but it was quite amusing, endearing and entertaining – it should make for a fun summer comedy.
Paul Rudd and David Cross play Cain and Abel which is kind of awesome, especially considering how funny their parts are in the film. Hank Azaria plays Abraham.
Ramis didn’t write the script, but the idea is one he had long, long ago. “I did an improv a long time ago with Bill Murray and John Belushi, where Bill was a Cro-Magnon man and Belushi was a Neanderthal,” Ramis told EW. ”Putting a modern sensibility in an ancient context always seemed very funny to me.”
The film hits theaters later this year, June 19.
