Jason Segel set to romance Cameron Diaz

[The Apatow Crew]

Jason Segel has signed on to co-star with Cameron Diaz in the upcoming black comedy BAD TEACHER. Diaz has been set to star alongside Lucy Punch, who will play her rival teacher, a perky goody-two-shoes named Amy Squirrel but the love interest had yet to be cast. And it has still yet to be cast.

While it may seem that Segel would be perfect for the role of the model teacher Scott the two female teachers are fighting over, that role remains uncast and Segel will instead be playing a supporting role as the school's gym teacher (a role I don't even remember being in the original script). I'm a little unclear whether the role is new or leading type role or something on a supporting level. Also joining the film's cast is John Michael Higgins who will play Principal Snur.



Jake Kasdan is directing the film for Columbia based on the script by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky. Filming is expected to begin next month in Los Angeles.​

At least it says it's a black comedy. If it were a regular RomCom I would be shaking my head in shame at Segel.

Yeah, so its totally not a romantic comedy. I'm guessing its gonna be a little goofy and out there.

i'm a fan of Segel's especially after FSM and his work as the classic Marshall on How I met your mother. Hoping it's R rated!

From what I have heard about Cameron Diaz's character.....

Spoiler

She is definitely bad. Bad as in drinking, smoking, swearing.

Nice.

So its gonna be a Bad Teacher who does all those things she does against a goody two shoes teacher.

There were reports that Bradley Cooper may be in this movie as the male lead.

Who knows though.

I don't know this is the first I'm hearing of the movie thats why I posted it.


Cooper seems to be in everything now after the success of the hangover.

I'll definitely be checking this out. Love HIMYM, love Forgetting Sarah Marshall, love ILYMan. Segel is batting 1.000 for me so far.
