We’ve already mentioned that Judd Apatow’s stand-up comedian dramedy, “Funny People” will host a bunch of cameos (Norm MacDonald and Andy Dick have already been mentioned and even Owen Wilson will appear, albeit only in poster form).
Now it appears that comedians Dave Attell and Sarah Silverman will be joining the fray as well. Attell was on Howard Stern yesterday and broke that bit of tiny cameo news.
Don’t expect all laughs though, “Funny People” has a lot of drama and tears in it as well. It might be the most mature thing Judd Apatow has ever made if he commits to its direction with seriousness.
The film stars Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana, Jason Schwartzman, many of the Apatow regulars, (plus Wu Tang’s RZA!) and is already set for a July 31, 2009 release.
