Spin-offs are usually a phenomenon of television (see
Joanie Loves Chachi), but more and more they are becoming a tool of the film industry. Hot off the success of
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Russell Brand returns as the obnoxious and highly sexual rock star, Aldous Snow. Jonah Hill also returns (as a different character) and has 72 hours to escort said rock star from England to L.A.
Both Hill and Brand played wonderful supporting characters in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I hope the roles can translate properly into leads and not just be a one trick pony. Time will tell, but the trailer looks promising.
