Seth Rogen & Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Reteam with '50/50' Director for Xmas Comedy
Tue, February 11, 2014 
50/50 director Jonathan Levine - who also helmed last year's modest hit Warm Bodies - is set to reunite with both Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt for an untitled Xmas comedy, set to start shooting this summer.
Sony Pictures reportedly beat out several studios to land the project which revolves around three childhood best friends who reunite in New York City for their annual tradition of going out on Christmas Eve. Both Rogen and Gordon-Levitt will play two of the best friends with a third yet to be cast (James Franco maybe?).
Levine wrote the screenplay which will also reunite 50/50 producers and co-financers Madate Pictures (now called Good universe) with the filmmaker. Rogen's company, Point Grey Pictures, will produce as well.
I personally found 50/50 to be an absolutely great film (it got a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture - Musical or Comedy and should have gotten more Oscar buzz) so any project involving that collection of talent I'm more than excited to see.
