Andy Samberg, Noah Hawley, And Ben Stiller Assemble For Apple Studios Sci-Fi Project
Sometimes the list of names attached to a project is enough to pique our interest before we even have a name or a logline for it. Such is the case with an upcoming project set to star actor Andy Samberg.
THR reports that Samberg is set to star in an upcoming sci-fi comedy-drama for Apple Studios under the Apple Original Films name, and will produce it, too. Andy Siara will write the script for the film, which is based off an idea by Bojack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg; Siara also wrote Palm Springs, another science fiction comedy-drama starring Samberg, which released on Hulu in summer 2020.
Noah Hawley will produce the film through his 26 Keys production company alongside Dan Seligmann. Hawley created Legion and Fargo for FX, and is attached to the upcoming FX Aliens show as well. Ben Stiller and Nicky Weinstock will produce through Red Hour, with Jackie Cohn as executive producer. Bob-Wakberg will receive a production credit, too.

What TV Shows Did The WandaVision Cast Watch To Prepare For The Disney+ Series
When WandaVision premieres on Disney+, it’ll be the first Marvel Cinematic Universe entry released in well over a year. While this is the first step into Marvel Studios’ future, though, it’s a show deeply tied to the past of television. The series finds Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) not fighting superpowered villains, but instead living inside a series of sitcoms as they slowly try to decipher what is happening to their reality.
The trailers show a number of tributes to sitcoms from decades dating back to the ’50s, long before the majority of the show’s cast was born. Naturally, though, director Matt Shakman knew exactly how to get the actors and crew of the series ready for filming. After all, his own history is tied to sitcoms as one of the stars of the late ’80s series Just the Ten of Us.
“This was the best homework that one could be asked to do, which is watch awesome old timeless television,” he told GameSpot. “And so yeah, we watched episodes of I Love Lucy and [The] Dick Van Dyke [Show], The Donna Reed Show, My Three Sons, all the way up through Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie–especially those two because they’re about people with special powers trying to hide them from their suburban friends. Then all the way up through The Brady Bunch and All In the Family, you name it.”
