Judd Apatow Demands, Gets DP Janusz Kaminski


So Judd Apatow's super-secret new film Funny People — with Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Jason Schwartzman, Eric Bana and Apatow's wife Leslie Mann — is being shot by... Oscar-winning cinematographer Janusz Kaminski? Yes, it appears so, and at the express insistence of Apatow, I'm told. (Which makes sense, really, as his name assuredly wouldn't have come up via other channels.) Solidly sourced word also places the film's budget around $90 million, leading one to wonder if Universal learned their lesson with Evan Almighty, namely that mega-budgeted comedies are often a recipe for disaster. Oh, right, it's a co-production with Sony. Spread the damage, then, I guess it makes Hollywood sense.
