Imogen Poots to play Andy Samberg's love interest in Lonely Island comedyMay 21, 2015 - 13:54 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - British actress Imogen Poots is in talks to play Andy Samberg‘s love interest in the untitled Universal comedy from the Lonely Island and Apatow Productions, TheWrap said citing an individual familiar with the project. Samberg stars as a rapper who reunites with his former boy band after his latest solo album flops. His fellow “SNL” alums Sarah Silverman and Tim Meadows will co-star as his sarcastic publicist and overworked manager, respectively. Samberg’s Lonely Island cohorts Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer are directing and co-starring in the movie, which the trio are also producing with Judd Apatow. Morgan Sackett will serve as an executive producer on the project, which is rumored to parody recent music documentaries such as “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” and “Katy Perry: Part of Me.” Universal executive Erik Baiers will oversee the project on behalf of the studio. Poots recently wrapped Jeremy Saulnier’s neo-Nazi thriller “Green Room,” which just debuted to strong reviews at Cannes. She’ll soon be seen in Terrence Malick’s drama “Knight of Cups” and as the lead in Peter Bogdanovich’s comedy “She’s Funny That Way.” Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
