We’ve seen Eric Bana’s intensity in movies like MUNICH, BLACK HAWK DOWN and that one where he turned green, but can he also bring the funny? He should — after all, he started out Down Under on sketch shows like FULL FRONTAL and ERIC. And hey, CHOPPER was sort of a comedy.
Now CHUD hears that Bana’s getting into the funny business with Hollywood’s current go-to guys: Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen. The as-yet-untitled project, which Apatow describes as a hilarious drama about stand-up comics, also features Adam Sandler.
What’s more, CHUD is saying that Apatow wants Bana for the role of Leslie Mann’s boyfriend in the flick. Is this guy a masochist or what? Pairing your real-life wife with the guy who nearly out-abdominaled Brad Pitt in TROY is a gutsy move.
Bana will next be seen in THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE and JJ Abrams’ STAR TREK, which I presume will not be intentional comedies.
