It sounds like we might be getting a new Forgetting Sarah Marshall movie!
If you forgot, Jason Segel starred alongside Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, Russell Brand, and Paul Rudd in the hit comedy flick, which was released in theaters back in 2008.
Here’s the official synopsis: “Struggling musician Peter Bretter (Segel) has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (Bell). Devastated Peter takes a Hawaii vacation in order to deal with his recent break-up with Sarah. Little does he know Sarah’s traveling to the same resort as her ex … and she’s bringing along her new boyfriend.”
One of the iconic elements of the movie is Peters’ secret passion project involving a Dracula rock opera performed entirely with puppets.
In 2023, Jason played Dracula’s Lament at Sam Jones’ Talent Show at LA’s Hotel Cafe, reigniting fans’ desire for a sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
In a new interview, Jason teased that a sequel may be in the works.
“In 2023, you popped up in Los Angeles and played Dracula’s Lament live, and even after all this time, with, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, one day, are we ever going to see that full rock opera?” an interviewer for The Direct asked Jason.
“We have been talking about it, I will tell [you],” Jason responded. “That’s all I can say. Yeah, every once in a while, I get an itch, and I get my puppet, because I have him, and I go perform live somewhere. But I still dream of doing that musical. I have an idea for how to do it, too. So, we’re getting there.”
When asked specifically if fans would get a sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jason said, “It would all be one thing [with the musical]. I got an idea. I have an idea.”
If you didn’t know, Forgetting Sarah Marshall already has a follow-up movie. The 2010 movie Get Him to the Greek shifted focus to Russell’s character Aldous Snow and also starred Jonah Hill.
Back in 2022, Jason explained why he moved out of Hollywood after How I Met Your Mother ended.
