Production Information

From producers JUDD APATOW (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up) and SHAUNA ROBERTSON (Knocked Up, Superbad) and first-time director NICHOLAS STOLLER (co-writer of Fun With Dick and Jane, TV's Undeclared) comes the world's first romantic disaster comedy-a raunchy, honest look at one guy's quest to grow up and get over the heartbreak of being dumped...if he can only make himself start Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Leading the cast is JASON SEGEL (Knocked Up, television's How I Met Your Mother) as Peter Bretter, a struggling musician who has spent nearly six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (KRISTEN BELL, TV's Veronica Mars, Heroes). He's the guy left holding her purse in paparazzi photos and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches. But Peter's world is rocked when she dumps him and he finds himself alone. After an unsuccessful bout of womanizing and an on-the-job nervous breakdown, he believes that not having Sarah in his life may forever ruin it.

To clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Oahu, where he is confronted by his worst nightmare: his ex and her tragically hip new British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous Snow (RUSSELL BRAND, St. Trinian's, Penelope), are sharing his luxury hotel.

But as he torments himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds relief in a flirtation with Rachel (MILA KUNIS, TV's That '70s Show, Family Guy), a beautiful resort employee whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world of the living. He also finds relief in several hundred fruity cocktails.

For anyone who has ever had their heart ripped out and cut into a billion pieces comes a hilarious, heartfelt look at relationships-featuring PAUL RUDD (Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin), JONAH HILL (Superbad, Knocked Up), BILL HADER (Superbad, television's Saturday Night Live), JACK MCBRAYER (television's 30 Rock, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby) and MARIA THAYER (Accepted, Strangers With Candy). Part romantic comedy, part disaster film, Forgetting Sarah Marshall includes players from the Judd Apatow repertory in front of and behind the camera.

Apatow, along with Robertson, produces his longtime writing collaborator Nicholas Stoller's directorial debut from a screenplay by star Jason Segel. The behind-the-scenes crew for the comedy includes cinematographer RUSS T. ALSOBROOK (Superbad, Reign Over Me), production designer JACKSON DE GOVIA (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, The Score), editor WILLIAM KERR (Superbad, Along Came Polly), composer LYLE WORKMAN (The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Superbad) and music supervisor JONATHAN KARP (Knocked Up, Superbad).

Costume designer LEESA EVANS (American Pie, Scooby-Doo series) joins the crew, along with Forgetting Sarah Marshall executive producers RICHARD VANE (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) and RODNEY ROTHMAN (upcoming Year One).
