Jason Segel is attached to star alongside Jonah Hill and Jason Schwartzman in "The Adventurer's Handbook," a comedy for Universal.
Jonah Hill, Matt Spicer and Max Winkler wrote the script, about four childhood friends who are bored with the monotony of their lives and embark on a global adventure inspired by the stories of explorers detailed in Mick Conefrey's book "The Adventurer's Handbook: Life Lessons From History's Great Explorers."
Universal picked up the book rights as well as the script in February.
Segel would play a talented musician who never got his act together, becoming a backup piano player and an alcoholic; Hill plays an engineer, isolated from his family; Schwartzman is a spoiled and cowardly three-time Grammy winner. (Kinda like Without a Paddle)
The studio hopes to be in production by early next year for a 2010 release.
