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.

Admit it — You still love Stranger Things, and the season 5 teaser trailer is awesome
A group of teens look down as one holds a chainsaw.

It's easy to poke fun at Stranger Things because of how long it's taken to reach the end. When season 5 concludes later this year, the Netflix series will have produced 42 episodes of television in just under 10 years. For comparison, The X-Files released roughly 200 episodes in under nine years. The pandemic and strikes are legitimate reasons for the delays, but the long hiatuses for Stranger Things have been frustrating for fans, to the point where some are questioning if they'll even care about the final season.

After watching the season 5 teaser trailer, all the feelings of resentment have been replaced with excitement. The teaser looks awesome, and I can't wait for the show's final run this fall.

On July 16, 2010, writer-director Christopher Nolan released his groundbreaking sci-fi action film, Inception, to theaters around the world. Fresh off the blockbuster success of The Dark Knight, Nolan unleashed the unique story of Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) as he and his team of "extractors" are hired to enter a business heir's (Cillian Murphy) dreams and implant an idea into his subconscious, setting off a high-stakes journey through the dream world.

Inception continues to be one of Nolan's most popular and beloved motion pictures to date. Winning four Academy Awards and receiving nominations for four other Oscars, including the award for Best Picture, this action-packed, mind-bending heist film presented one of the most inventive blockbusters of the 21st century. While Nolan made many other incredible movies throughout his career, specifically Memento, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and Oppenheimer, there are many reasons why Inception surpasses them all 15 years after its premiere.
