Get Him to the Greek
is a 2010 American comedy film written and directed by
Nicholas Stoller and starring
Jonah Hill and
Russell Brand. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release in
June 2010. Get Him to the Greek is a spin-off from
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, reuniting director Stoller with stars
Hill and Brand. Brand reprises his character Aldous Snow from
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, while Hill plays an entirely new
character. At one point, the film's title was changed to Get Me to
the Gig and was then reverted to its original title. The film is
rated R for strong sexual content and drug use throughout, and
pervasive language.
Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) releases a
song about problems in Africa called "African Child". The song and
music video are seen as horrible and called "the worst thing to
happen to Africa since apartheid". The single ruins Snow's career,
and as a result he starts drinking and doing drugs excessively. His
girlfriend Jackie Q (Rose
Byrne), with whom he had a son named Naples, also leaves him,
taking custody of Naples. Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) is a driven,
idealistic young college graduate who works as an intern at
Capitol Records. He lives with his girlfriend, a doctor, but
they do not get to see each other often due to their different sleep
schedules. Capitol Records has lost a lot of money, so the executive
of the branch Sergio (Sean
Combs) asks for ideas. Green proposes to have Snow play at the
Greek Theater for the tenth anniversary of his performance. Sergio
is impressed with the idea and charges Aaron with getting Aldous
Snow to the theatre. Hilarity ensues as idealistic Aaron takes
drug-addicted Aldous from London to Los Angeles.
