Jay Baruchel Slashes A PIG

Just like they’re prepping Taylor Lautner to become the next action star, They’re also prepping Jay Baruchel to be the next comedy movie star. Audiences are always looking for that next big geek anyway but does Jay have what it takes? He’s got HOW TO TRAIN A DRAGON, SHE’S OUT OF MY LEAGUE and the action/fantasy/adventure THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE later this year. Talking to Comingsoon, he revealed that he’s got a directing itch…

He’s hoping his directorial debut would be a slasher film titled PIG based on a script that he’s been working on…

“I’m trying to get that going as best I can, ’cause all I want to do is direct horror movies in Montreal for the rest of my life,”
“Without giving too much away, it’s a 21st century reimagining of the slasher film with a lot of socio-racial commentary, that’s all I’ll say.”

He also hopes that JAY AND SETH VS. THE APOCALYPSE could get developed eventually, but Seth Rogen and Jay are currently busy doing other projects.
But Jay’s got a Hockey movie that he co-wrote with Evan Goldberg (Superbad), it’s called GOON,  and no not that other David Fincher’s THE GOON adaptation,
Jay’s GOON is a hockey movie that’s he said it’s going to be hardcore rated-R comedy..

“It’s real mean, and it’s truthful, and it’s everything hockey is without any of the bullsh*t sports movie clichés, and it is dead funny. Lot of swears, that’s a hard R. It’s a very crass movie, there are something like 20 fights in it, but it’s the badass movie that hockey fans have been waiting to see their whole lives. It will be by far the best hockey movie since ‘Slapshot.’ Hockey fans have needed one for a long time, it’s a sport that movies never do well. Ours will be a f*cking movement.”

After the U.S. team lost to Canada this past Winter Olympics 2010, ya we could definitely watch a violent hockey movie to take our anger out on something.
