Jason Segel Joins "The Adventurers Handbook"

Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), has been cast with Jonah Hill (Superbad, Walk Hard) and Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, Funny People) in a movie called "The Adventurers Handbook". The script was written by Hill, Matt Spicer, and Max Winkler and is to be directed by Akiva Schaffer. Here is the plot description, courtesy of www.spill.com:

The film is about four childhood friends who are bored with the monotony of their lives and embark on a global adventure inspired by the stories of explorers detailed in Mick Conefrey's book "The Adventurer's Handbook: Life Lessons From History's Great Explorers."

Segel would play a talented musician who never got his act together, becoming a backup piano player and an alcoholic; Hill plays an engineer, isolated from his family; Schwartzman is a spoiled and cowardly three-time Grammy winner.

I like the idea for this film. Not to mention I am a HUGE fan of "How I Met Your Mother" and Segel on it.
