The Lonely Island’s new movie is a salute to boy band reunions

The long-awaited Lonely Island movie won’t be a sequel to Hot Rod. Instead, the comedy rap trio are going after another topic near and dear to both twenty- and thirtysomethings: boy band reunions. The Hollywood Reporter says that production has begun on the group’s Judd Apatow-produced movie, which “centers on a rapper whose latest album bombs” and who has to “do the unthinkable: a reunion concert with his former boy band.” Andy Samberg will star as the aforementioned bombing rapper, with Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone both attached to co-star and direct.
