Bill Hader, Seth Rogen, and Zach Galifianakis Head to Space For THE SOMETHING

I'll watch just about anything that combines the talents of Bill Hader, Seth Rogen, and Zach Galifianakis, so the new sci-fi movie The Something already has me intrigued.

This is a passion project for Rodney Rothman, the writer of 22 Jump Street (awesome) and Grudge Match (yikes). THR says he'll make his directorial debut with this film about a crew of male astronauts who discover another ship out in space. This is a project that was first discussed about six years ago, and around that time, Rothman spoke with Collider about the movie, which was then billed as a horror/comedy:

“[It's] about four guys in space who have been there for five years and hate each other and it kind of becomes Alien.” He says he wants to cast “a couple of the really funny actors I know and then a couple other left-field actors. And they basically end up boarding a ship that has women on it. It’s the first time they’ve seen women in five years. And then shit just goes crazy.”

It's unclear whether the script has been changed where there are only three male astronauts now, or whether one remains to be cast. Either way, this sounds like it has the potential to be really funny, so we'll definitely be keeping our eye on this one and pulling for it to make it through the Hollywood development machine this time around.
