Judd Apatow has a lot of projects in the works and ComingSoon.net took the opportunity to talk with him about his upcoming films, including: Drillbit Taylor, the Owen Wilson comedy opening this Friday, March 21; Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the R-rated comedy coming April 18 and starring Jason Segel and Kristen Bell; Pineapple Express, the Seth Rogen and James Franco action-comedy ; and Step Brothers, which reunites Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly. He’s producing those films, and he is also producing Jack Black’s The Year One and he co-wrote Adam Sandler’s You Don’t Mess With the Zohan. The Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin helmer will next direct an untitled comedy that reunites him with Sandler, Rogen and his real-life wife, Leslie Mann.
Apatow spoke to us about his early years in the business when he was working as a standup comedian waiting for his big break.
CS: I understand that you and Adam Sandler were roommates at one time.
Judd Apatow: That’s correct. I lived with Adam Sandler in the late ’80s. We were both working as standup comedians at the Improv in Los Angeles. We became friends and lived together until he got hired to work on “Saturday Night Live” and moved to New York.
CS: Did you think that you would ever work on a project together?
Apatow: At the time that was all we wanted to do. We would write sketches and Adam was on MTV every once in a while on a show called “Remote Control” where he would do characters. At the time, we were all trying to figure out how we were going to open a door so we could be in this business. We were always writing and scheming and trying to figure out how we were going to climb up the ladder so they would let us do standup on TV shows and make movies.

JASON Silverthorn will be fit to play for Cardiff Devils in the Elite League play-offs.
Canadian forward Silverthorn will return to action in Sunday’s home challenge match against Sheffield Steelers at the Cardiff Bay rink (6pm) and will face Nottingham Panthers over two legs in the play-offs.
“It’s fantastic news for the team,” said player-coach Gerad Adams.
“Jason will add that little bit extra on the ice and in terms of belief.”
The news that Silverthorn, one of the most dangerous goalscorers in Elite League, is fit gives the Devils a massive lift.
He will play a few shifts against Sheffield on Sunday and, after another week of training, will be fully ready to face Panthers.
He suffered a shoulder injury at Newcastle Vipers, but has made good progress over recent weeks.
There is, though, mixed news on Paul Sample and Mat Petricko.
Sample will not play again this season, while Petricko is still hoping to be ready.
“Samps won’t quite be ready, while we are assessing Petricko day-by-day,” said Adams.
“We will see how that goes, but he is staying upbeat and could yet help us during the play-offs.”
The Devils play their final Elite League match of the season tomorrow when they go to Newcastle Vipers.
That is followed by the clash with Sheffield Steelers on Sunday (6pm).
Tickets for the home play-off leg against Nottingham Panthers, on Sunday, March 30, will be available, while tickets for the play-off finals can be collected.
Cardiff Devils’ regular season shirts will then be auctioned off after the match against Sheffield.
Tickets for Cardiff Devils’ matches are available from the Cardiff Bay ice rink box office on Cardiff 029 2038 2001, while event information can be obtained from the Devils’ office on 0845 434 9055.

AS IF THE HOUSING industry isn’t in enough trouble, here comes a revival of David Mamet’s "Glengarry Glen Ross."
After meeting these real estate salesmen, you’ll be careful about signing anything. (They’re scarier than the evening news.)
It could be enough to tip the economy over the edge.
The play, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1984, is a testosterone-fueled drama about sleazy real estate salesmen on the brink. They’re desperate. They’re vicious. Their motto is "Always Be Closing" - sell or die. If this play is going to work, we have to believe it’s a matter of life and death.
Anything less than all-out war would be a whitewash.
The production onstage at the Generic Theater is something less. It’s not just that the salesmen don’t smoke - that was banned by the theater management, and is not in keeping with the play - it’s that the play itself has become so familiar and so imitated that its edge is a little soft now. It’s still riddled with four-letter profanities, but they are heard regularly on cable television and in movies that aren’t even R-rated. The words, and thus the play, have lost some shock value.
(There is an old joke in which two drama critics quote the most famous playwrights of their eras. Shakespeare is credited with "To be or not to be" while Mamet is noted for "expletive deleted.")
Under the direction of Jim Mitchell, a cast of seven men give Generic’s "Glengarry Glen Ross" a serviceable ride, but in low gear. While it sparks at times, it doesn’t have that rapid-fire, killer instinct.
The setting, represented by veteran Hank Sparks’ stage designs, is a neighborhood Chinese restaurant and a shabby storefront Chicago office, where men, "real men," go about the task of making a living. They live by the "leads," the references that may land buyers for the Florida developments called Glengarry and Glen Ross.
Without the leads, salesmen can’t sell. They don’t feed their children. They don’t send them to college. They don’t get the new Cadillac that is the prize in a seedy sales promotion. They don’t get second prize, steak knives. But they get third prize, which is, "You’re fired."
The play has been done often since it opened on Broadway in 1984. An all-star cast with Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Alan Arkin, Alec Baldwin and Kevin Spacey brought it to the big screen in 1992. All productions now live in its shadow.
The Generic, however, is the theater that has a new burst of ambition, evidenced by its recent production, at nearly four hours long, of Eugene O’Neill’s "Long Day’s Journey Into Night." That it would take on a play that is so familiar is unusual for this theater, which more often goes for untried new plays or seldom-done classics.
Best at suggesting threat is Jason Kypros as the egotistical supersalesman. He wants to be No. 1 and isn’t going to take less - not quietly, anyway. The son of popular local pianist Chris Kypros, he takes big chances here, demanding our attention as eagerly as he would a sale. At the same time, he suggests the artificial emptiness that is beneath it all.
Wade Brinkley is effectively worn and browbeaten as the old veteran who is barely holding on. Sweaty pathos is his fate, but he needs to sweat even more. There is not too much risk in overplaying desperation. Go for it.
John Williamson is effective as the icy little twerp who runs the office. He would stab anyone in the back to keep his bosses from learning his frailties.
A poor victim is duped. An office robbery, in which the leads are stolen, provides a bit of suspense to flavor the nonstop dialogue. But in a world that has seen the Enron scandals and the mortgage crisis, it’s now a bit tame.
The usual staccato style of playing these characters is replaced by more naturalism, but this is perhaps all to the good because Mamet’s speech patterns have become almost burlesque. These characters are in danger of becoming dirty-talking robots. Nothing short of real brilliance can give them spontaneity. This cast must always be closing.
