Jonah Hill, adventurer.
Hey, kids, did you ever think to yourself, “That Jonah Hill was fine in supporting parts in movies like ‘Superbad’ and ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall,’ but he can’t carry a movie”? Yes? No? Well, either way, Variety says Hill’s set up to handle a leading role, along with Jason Schwartzman in a movie called “The Adventurer’s Handbook.” Akiva Schaffer, the “SNL” director who made his feature debut last year with “Hot Rod,” is in negotiations to direct.

Is Jason Schwartzman in Scott Pilgrim?
/Film —
Hidden away in Variety’s story on Jonah Hill’s screenplay sale is the claim that Jason Schwartzman is in Edgar Wright’s big screen adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. This definitely hasn’t been reported before, and is just mentioned in passing as part of Schwartzman’s upcoming film slate. Variety later pulled mention of Scott Pilgrim, so it might just be just a mistake on their part.
The Playlist’s sources claim that Schwartzman might be playing the ultimate 7th evil boyfriend, Gideon Gordon Graves. I haven’t read the final book of ...

Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman and Akiva Schaffer (of Digital Shorts fame) teaming up for THE ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK!
Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. —
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Universal apparently forked over more than a million bucks for THE ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK written by Jonah Hill, Matt Spicer and Max Winkler. It looks like a package deal with Jason Schwartzman and Hill attached to star and Akiva Schaffer looking to direct. Schaffer helmed the underappreciated HOT ROD and directs most of the SNL Digital Shorts, which are THE reason to watch SNL nowadays. Anyway, the flick is about four friends who go on a global adventure, following in the footsteps of a group of hardcore explorers who are written about by Michael Conefrey in a novel by the same name. Sounds like perfect mix of ...
