Townies (Seth Rogen comedy)

About the director:

"In Hollywood, studios must prepare to strike while the iron is hot on a film to film basis. In a world of “what have you done for me lately?” they don’t come into the game any hotter than director Nicholas Stoller.

"In 2008 Nicholas Stoller jumped on the scene with the side splitting comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which starred Jason Segel and the lovely Mila Kunis. Stoller proved to have a keen eye for the comedic genre as he went on to direct the two highly praised films Get Him to the Greek and The Five-Year Engagement .

"As Efron continues to shed the “good guy” image of his High School Musical days, one has to wonder how he will hold up against the often raunchy Rogen – of course that might be the comedy hook this round. Assuming negotiations hold up and Stoller takes the job, it can’t hurt for Efron to be taking direction from a director who knows a thing or two about comedy."
