Broad City Girls and Paul Feig Working on Upcoming Film
Over the past couple of months, my household has become kind of Broad City central. It's rare for a day to go by where I don't, at the very least, re-watch an episode or two of stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer's outrageous shenanigans in New York. At a time when comedy actresses and comediennes are rising in ways they haven't before, Broad City serves as one of the pinnacles of contemporary female-centric comedy. If you don't believe me, try watching an episode or two without chuckling at Abbi's inherent awkwardness or Ilana's in-your-face comfort/confidence and the dynamics that each bring to their friendship. It was only a matter of time before the two brought their talents to the silver screen, but that day is finally upon us, and with a Hollywood heavy hitter known for spotlighting hilarious women in comedy.
Jacobson and Glazer are writing a script for their film debut with Paul Feig (Spy, Bridesmaids) on board to produce. As of right now, the actresses are only writing the script, but they could potentially star in the film, as well. It's also pertinent to note that the film will not be a Broad City adaptation. No other information on the film is available.
I can't stress enough: If you have yet to watch Broad City, do so and feel confident knowing the next generation of funny actresses is here.
