In case you hadn't heard, comedian Bill Hader is leaving "Saturday Night Live" after eight years on the staple late night sketch comedy series. When he wasn't busy working on the latest episode, Hader made quite an impression as a supporting actor in plenty of comedies like Superbad, Hot Rod, Paul, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Tropic Thunder and more. Now that he's leaving "SNL" behind, we can expect to see him more and more, and THR has word on an indie that has landed Hader's talents. The project is called Lawless, and it will mark the directorial debut of Yes Man writers Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel. Paul and Mogel also wrote the script for the film (which might need a new title due to the Prohibition drama with the same title that came out last year with Tom Hardy and Shia Labeouf) and the story follows Hader as a high »

Bill Hader's departure from NBC's Saturday Night Live is timely enough after seven healthy seasons on the show, though quite inconveniently as his most memorable character—the flamboyantly eccentric Weekend Update clubber Stefon—hits his peak and further cements Hader as a household name.
"It was a hard decision, but it has to happen at some point," Hader told The New York Times. "It got to a point where I said, 'Maybe it’s just time to go.'"
Though Hader may be best known for his status as a leading player on NBC's Saturday Night Live since 2005, his breakout roles in comedy flicks like Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Tropic Thunder and behind-the-scenes work on South Park have also elevated his status as a comedic superstar.
But the attention now turns to two other SNL veterans who may be leaving the hallowed stage for greener pastures: while the »

For the upcoming comedy "Townies," Zac Efron will be making his leap to comedy, and he'll be making it in style. The film is being directed by "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" helmer Nicholas Stoller and co-stars Seth Rogen.
When MTV News' Josh Horowitz caught up with Efron backstage at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, he talked at length about the mood on set, working with Seth, and the high volume of shirtless scenes that await the audience.
"It's a pretty funny scene towards the end of the movie, but my character starts working at Abercrombie & Fitch," he said. "We were just out there having fun, total improv."

One of the biggest draws for Efron to the project was the chance to work with Rogen and practice a style of comedy he wasn't used to.

Jason Segel, best known for his work in TV shows like "Freaks and Geeks" and "How I Met Your Mother" and in movies like "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," is also apparently a young adult author. The comedian revealed that he wrote a trilogy of books based off a script he wrote at age 21, and that publishers are currently having a "bidding war" to try to get their hands on the novels.
"It's about kids facing their biggest fears, that's about all I can tell you," Segel explained after a screening of "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," as recounted by VH1. Apparently fans should expect the first novel in the upcoming series to hit store shelves later in 2013.
Segel says he sold the script for "super cheap" after he wrote it because he "didn't know any better," but nothing came of the story for eight years. Then he was able to buy the script »

Anyone familiar with actor Jason Segel's work before and behind the lens will know that he's a very creative and intuitive person, but the "Freaks And Geeks" and "How I Met Your Mother" mind has had a real surprise up his sleeve for years: a Young Adult novel trilogy! That's right, Jason Segel wrote a series of Ya novels, and he's now totally ready for the world to get a taste of 'em. Per VH1, Jason Segel slipped the news during a screening Q&A for his 2008 breakout movie "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," saying that he'd written the three-part book series based on a script from back when he was just 21 years old and green to the industry. Evidently, he sold said script for "super cheap" then, and as his career has escalated through the years, he crossed his fingers that the story would remain shelved until he could buy it back. »
