Universal Pictures' The Something will star Seth Rogen, Zach Galifianakis, and Bill Hader

Three hilarious comedians are teaming up to star in Universal Pictures’ The Something to create what should be comedy gold: Seth Rogen, Zach Galifianakis, and Bill Hader have all signed on for the space comedy, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

In the upcoming flick, the three funnymen will play a group of astronauts who have been stuck in space for years. Their isolated situation will change, however, when they come across another spaceship. No details have been revealed about just who or what will be in the other spacecraft yet, but it sounds like a promising premise.

The Something is set to be the directorial debut of Rodney Rothman, whose work includes writing the scripts for 22 Jump Street and Grudge Match. He wrote the upcoming space movie as well and will produce alongside Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and James Weaver, all of Point Grey Pictures. Good Universe will also produce, and Universal Pictures greenlighted the film and will distribute it.

The combination of Rogen, Galifianakis, and Hader is definitely one to look forward to. Not only has each actor has proven himself in comedy films in the past, Rogen and Hader have even successfully teamed up in numerous movies. The two can both be seen in popular flicks like Superbad, Pineapple Express, and Knocked Up.

Rogen has recently appeared in The Night Before and the Aaron Sorkin-penned Steve Jobs biopic, and he’ll next be seen in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, the sequel to the 2014 hit. Meanwhile, Hader’s other credits include Trainwreck alongside Amy Schumer and multiple seasons on Saturday Night Live, among other projects. Galifianakis is known for work including the Hangover movies, Birdman, and his talk show, Between Two Ferns.

A release date for The Something has not yet been announced.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
