Rose Byrne Goes Greek With Jonah Hill and Russell Brand

Rose Byrne is going Greek alongside Jonah Hill and Russell Brand in Get Him to the Greek, a new comedy written and directed by Nicholas Stoller. Judd Apatow is producing, which isn’t surprising since Apatow and Hill are frequent collaborators.

The plot revolves around Hill's character, an insurance adjuster who is just out of college and is immediately hired to transport a rebellious rock star, played by Brand, from London to a gig at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. Byrne will play Jackie Q, a scandal-tainted pop star who is also the girlfriend of Brand's character. Universal will release the film. Stoller also directed Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
