Jason Segel's 'Sex Tape': Who Is The Leading Lady Going To Be?

Parents, beware: your kids may love "The Muppets" next month, but this Jason Segel-Amy Adams film would be a whole lot less family friendly.

News broke on Thursday that Jason Segel and writing partner Nick Stoller are closing in on making the comedy "Sex Tape," their next project. The film, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is about a married couple who, with a night off from their kids, decide to make a sex tape. Of course, it somehow gets stolen, leading them on a frantic search to find it (the guess here is that their kids somehow have it).

Stoller directed Segel in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," which Segel wrote, while they co-wrote the upcoming "Muppets" film, in which Segel and Adams star. According to Variety, there are a number of actresses who could play Segel's wife -- including Adams, his girlfriend in the puppet extravaganza. Also on the list provided by reporter Jeff Sneider are Emily Blunt (who just starred with Segel in "The Five-Year Engagement), Rose Byrne and Jennifer Garner, all of whom would make Segel a very lucky man.

Adams would be good, or Byrne...but not Garner. She's so stiff in everything she does. Including life.

Segel loves showing off his penis - I don't have a problem with that :) And if he wants a leading lady, he can give me a call.

LOL.....A few months ago someone here was complaining about the lack of full male nudity in movies. I pointed out Segel's role in that movie and she wasn't as impressed as you are.

Sounds hilarious to me- doesn't have to be a new idea, but most of his movies are really funny!

You're right, being on primetime tv every week for six years straight plus appearing 1-2 successful movies a year since 2007, he's hard to recognize.

Search for missing sex tapes are nothing new. This has been done on so many sitcoms, to that it's no big deal. I don't see this being a big box office hit.

Wan't there a southpark episode with the same plot.

You mean the Lord of the Rings parody with the kids trying to get rid of the porn video?

Those four words together -- Jason Segel Sex Tape -- made me throw up in my mouth.

No offense Mr. Segel, but I rather see either Kristen Bell or Mila Kunis instead.

Either works for me as well. My head was vollying like in a tennis match watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

I Love You Man is one of the great buddy comedies of all time. Well, recently, well, whatever. It's an awesome movie.

It's nice to see someone who comes off as such a nice guy get some real success.
