Event Overview:
Monday, September 19 at
7:00 pm local time
BROS PRESENTS – FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL
- General Event Description: Peter (Jason
Segel) is a struggling musician who finds his world turned
upside down when his TV celebrity girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen
Bell), dumps him for a tragically hip rock star
(Russell Brand). Directed by
Nicholas Stoller from a screenplay

7:00 pm local time
BROS PRESENTS – TRAINWRECK
- General Event Description: Since she was a little girl,
Amy (Amy Schumer) has been taught
that monogamy isn't realistic. Now a magazine writer, Amy lives by
that credo, but when she finds herself starting to fall for the
subject of an article she's writing (Bill
Hader), Amy starts to wonder if other grown-ups might be
onto something. Directed by Judd
Apatow from a screenplay by Amy
Schumer.
Wednesday, September 21 at
7:00 pm local time
BROS PRESENTS – KNOCKED UP
- General Event Description: They say that opposites
attract. Well, for slacker Ben (Seth
Rogen) and career girl Alison (Katherine Heigl), that's certainly the case—at
least for one intoxicated evening. Two months and several pregnancy
tests later, Ben and Alison go through a hysterically funny,
anxious and heartwarming journey to parenthood. Written and
directed by Judd Apatow.
About BROS
This fall, Universal Pictures proudly
presents the first romantic comedy from a major studio about two
gay men maybe, possibly, probably, stumbling towards love.
Maybe. They're both very busy.
From the ferocious comic mind of Billy
Eichner (Billy on the Street, 2019's The Lion
King, Difficult People, Impeachment: American Crime Story)
and the hitmaking brilliance of filmmakers Nicholas Stoller
(the Neighbors films, Forgetting
Sarah Marshall) and Judd Apatow (The King of Staten
Island, Trainwreck, The Big
Sick), comes Bros, a smart, swoony and heartfelt comedy
about how hard it is to find another tolerable human being to go
through life with.
Starring Billy Eichner, the first
openly gay man to co-write and star in his own major studio
film—and featuring an entirely LGBTQ+ principal cast, including
Luke Macfarlane (Killjoys),
Ts Madison (The Ts Madison Experience), Monica Raymund (Chicago Fire), Guillermo Díaz
(Scandal), Guy Branum (The
Other Two) and Amanda Bearse
(Married …with Children)—Bros is directed by
Nicholas Stoller from his screenplay
with Eichner. The film is produced by Judd
Apatow, Stoller and Josh
Church (co-producer Trainwreck, Step
Brothers) and is executive produced by Eichner and
Karl Frankenfield.
