| Jason Segel prepping for maple syrup heist Posted: 25 Sep 2013 09:58 PM PDT After wrapping up Sex Tape alongside Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel (pic) will take on the role of a rather creative thief in a comedy based on a true story. In 2012, a group of thieves made headlines throughout Canada by looting a maple syrup warehouse in Quebec. The total value of the syrup stolen was estimated at US$30 million (96.7 million). The as yet untitled feature will take the form of a "dramedy", lightening the true-to-life crime story with humour. The maple syrup caper will be directed by Seth Gordon, a veteran of the comedy genre, whose recent films include Horrible Bosses and Identity Thief. — AFP Relaxnews, Septemebr 26, 2013. |
The two actors will join Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) on the set of the forthcoming fantasy film inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology.
