James McAvoy is set to star as a 25-year-old who battles cancer (hopefully with lasers while riding a puma) in a comedy produced by Seth Rogan, Ben Karlin, and Evan Goldberg (AKA “The Jew Crew”). It’s based on screenwriter Will Reiser’s autobiographical novel I’m With Cancer. Rogen will also have a role in the film.
They aren’t planning to title the movie I’m With Cancer, which is good, because I don’t think the word “cancer” sounds like a comedy at all.
Variety reports:
It will be the first pic Rogen and Goldberg have produced together. They penned the Judd Apatow-produced laffers Superbad and Pineapple Express and were executive producers on those films. They’re also exec producing actioner The Green Hornet at Sony.
Whoa. Hang on. “Laffers”? “Actioner”? Did this summabitch just say Superbad and Pineapple Express were laffers and The Green Hornet is an actioner? You can’t just make up words, you wizzlscatgiraffe. Go eat a bag of cancer.
Hmm, maybe I was wrong. Somebody getting cancer could be funny.

Doesn’t Variety also call westerns “Oaters”? May also apply to Sarah Jessica Parker movies, because she likes porridge.
I’m With Chancre doesn’t sound much like porn but I’m still likely to watch.
Wizzlscatgiraffe was the original name of the Wolverine character. They changed it because it was’t believable.
I just finised the last pages of my semi-autobiographical screenplay that follows the life of a man who’s ex-wife left him with nothing but an in-curable reminder of her infidelity. I’m with Canker opens Valentine’s Day.
*finished*
I’m working on a screenplay about a young woman who’s being chased by a psycho with a butcher knife….
I bet you thought I was going to call it “I’m With Slasher”…..well you’re right. I’m not feeling very creative or clever or funny today. I’m with writers block.
Robin Williams is set to star in a sequel to his film about traveling the country in an RV. I’m With Camper is sure to be a vomiter.
this guy getting cancer would sure be a laffer
Look, I was born in late June, and that word is hateful.
We prefer being called Moon Children.
Did he say scat giraffe? I’ve seen some crazy shit on the internet but wow…
Oh and Jacktion, when your mom referred to you as “that cancer”, it didn’t have anything to do with when you were born :(.
