Seth Rogen & The Lonely Island Making Fyre Festival-Like Movie

Seth Rogen and The Lonely Island are teaming up for a movie about a music festival that goes horribly wrong.

At the same time, comedy trio The Lonely Island – consisting of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone have also been doing their part to change the face of comedy.

Having initially found success on SNL, the trio are responsible for 2007’s Hot Rod as well as last year’s Popstar.

Rogen and the team have worked together before on hilarious song “Like A Boss”, and now they’re reuniting for a full movie.

With the recent disaster of rapper Ja Rule’s Fyre Festival making headlines, both Rogen and The Lonely Island took to Twitter to reveal that they are in fact, making a movie “about a music festival that goes horribly wrong.”

The announcement couldn’t have more perfect timing – so much so that The Lonely Island tweeted further confirmation.

This seems like a good time to mention the movie we are making with @thelonelyisland about a music festival that goes HORRIBLY WRONG. »
