Cancer Comedy Hits the Big Screen with the Help of Seth Rogen

By Julia Friday, October 10, 2008

Actor and producer Seth Rogen, of Super Bad, Knocked Up, announced today that he will be producing a new movie entitled I'm With Cancer, along with writing partner Evan Goldberg. This new film, release date not yet set, is an autobiographic pic about the life of Will Reiser, a producer for HBO's Da Ali G Show and VH1's show Best Week Ever, among other films and tv shows. The script, written by Reiser, depicts the true story of Reiser's diagnosis with cancer at age 25 and his struggle with the disease. Rogen will play a supporting role in the film, but no word as to who will play Reiser. No director is set and the search will begin later this month.

 

Mandate Pictures, which also produced teen-pregnancy comedy Juno, poses this film as a cancer comedy.
