JUDD APATOW - APATOW JOINS FERRELL + MCKAY AT FUNNYORDIE.COM

KNOCKED UP director JUDD APATOW has teamed up with WILL FERRELL and writer/filmmaker ADAM MCKAY to become a partner in cult comedy website FunnyOrDie.com. Ferrell and MCKay launched the site, where they air short film comedies, in April (07). The site has since attracted over 3.6 million individual viewers. The pair's clip The Landlord, in which Ferrell appears to lose his cool with a supposedly drunken infant landlady, desperate for rent money, has been viewed more than 47 million times. And last month (Sep07), Eva Longoria appeared in a spoof sex tape film, in which she bounces on a bed in sexy lingerie with a male pal she calls Perry, for the website. Apatow says, "Adam and Will and myself have been friends for many years, and we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to create a situation where the friendship could not survive." The trio are currently working on upcoming movie Step Brothers, which stars Ferrell, and is being directed and produced by MCKay and Apatow respectively.
