Well, perhaps. According to Production Weekly, In Search of A Midnight Kiss director Alex Holdridge is in negotiations to helm The F-Word which would potentially star Andy Samberg. The plot is interesting -“This movie is basically an R-rated semi-romantic comedy. Wallace and Chantry meet and fall in love. Chantry has a boyfriend, so Wallace is stuck in shitty friend-zone. Chantry has to figure out if she wants to stay with her boyfriend or go with Wallace. Wallace has to figure out a way to show Chantry how he feels about her, without possibly ruining their friendship forever.”
Samberg would play the Wallace character. Whether or not this project goes ahead, I think this is exactly the kind of direction Samberg needs to take. He has the potential to play these kind of (500) Days of Summer-esque leads and he seems to have chops for semi-dramatic stuff - he was the beacon of common sense in I Love You, Man after all.
