82205493 The Hollywood Reporter did its job and reported on Hollywood today, letting us know that Seth Rogen, along with some other funny people, will produce a new comedy entitled I'm With Cancer.

Mandate has picked up "I'm With Cancer," a comedic autobiographical spec written by Will Reiser that Rogen will produce with his writing-producing partner Evan Goldberg and Ben Karlin ("The Daily Show With Jon Stewart").

Will Reiser, who has worked for Da Ali G Show and Best Week Ever, based the script on personal experience. It's amazing that a Hollywood comedy is approaching a serious and personal subject like cancer. The closest I ever came to mixing comedy with my personal life was when I did a ten minute stand-up routine on how much my farts smell. What is the deal with my farts?!

Even though at this point the film is but a sapling awaiting to be tended into a giant fruit-giving tree (WTF? Am I high?), the talent on board is already impressive. Ben Karlin, one of the co-producers, has won nine Emmy's while on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Rogen and Goldberg have already proven themselves as comedic powerhouses, and with their upcoming Jay and Seth vs. The Apolocalypse and The Green Hornet film, they should continue their creative growth as giant fruit-giving trees (yep, I'm definitely on something).
