Universal Pictures is fast-tracking an untitled original comedy about a country western star in free fall from Judd Apatow (“Trainwreck,” “King Of Staten Island”) and Glen Powell (“Twisters,” “Hit Man”). Apatow will direct the film with Powell set to star. The two will write the script together.
Apatow will produce through his longstanding Apatow Productions overall deal. Apatow’s relationship with Universal dates back to his 2005 directorial debut, “The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” and he has since directed “Knocked Up,” “Funny People,” “This is 40,” “Trainwreck” and “The King of Staten Island” for the studio.
