Judd Apatow to Produce Buddy Comedy Treasure Hunting Film From Comedy Writing Team Please Don't Destroy
Saturday Night Live breakout comedy writing team Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy, who go by the name Please Don’t Destroy, are teaming up with producer Judd Apatow to develop a buddy comedy film.
Marshall, Higgins, and Herlihy will write the movie, which centers on “three childhood friends who live and work together. When the threesome decides they don’t like their life trajectory, they set off to find a gold treasure that is rumored to be buried in the nearby mountain.”
In all honesty, that’s like my real life, but I go out and do that stuff with my brothers. Anyway, it should be a fun little adventure comedy. The three writers will also star in and executive produce the movie, which has yet to be titled.
Please Don’t Destroy were hired as writers on the 47th season of SNL and worked on creating digital shorts. Some of those include “Three Sad Virgins” featuring Taylor Swift and Pete Davidson, “Good Variant,” “Hard Seltzer,” and “Rami Wants a Treat.”
Saturday Night Live alum Paul Briganti is directing the comedy. Universal Pictures will release the movie in theaters on August 18, 2023. Judd Apatow is producing.
