The Hunger Games’ Josh Hutcherson to play Seth Rogen’s Future Man for Hulu

In a plot that, for better and for worse, could only come from Rogen and Goldberg, Josh is visited in real life by the game’s characters once he beats the final level. They tell him the whole thing was a training manual, and as the top-ranked player he’s been selected to travel back in time and help them save the world from “an imminent super-race invasion.” Presumably because he doesn’t have a lot going on outside of being a janitor at a sexual disease research center and fearing women, he agrees to the new gig.

Rogen and Goldberg will executive produce and direct the pilot, written by Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir. Hutcherson also has a producer credit, and given that the four Hunger Games films were pretty heavy on the child murder, you have to think he’s thrilled to transition to a game-centric project that should be decidedly funnier.
