Seth Rogen

Everyone's favourite schlubby jokester has reinvented the leading man in a comedy role a few times over and is now set to mine funnies from a rather taboo source - cancer.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Seth Rogen will produce and have a supporting role in I'm With Cancer, an autobiographical account of "Da Ali G Show" producer Will Reiser's struggle to confront and beat cancer. The story will focus on a 25-year-old man who is diagnosed with the disease.

Cancer sees Rogen re-teaming with his writing-producing partner Evan Golberg, who brought comedy blockbusters Superbad and Pineapple Express to the big screen.

The droll duo are currently working on Sony's Green Hornet remake, which will star Rogen as the title character and co-star Stephen Chow (Kung Fu Hustle), who will also direct.

Audiences can next see Rogen in Kevin Smith’s sex romp Zach and Miri Make a Porno, opening at the end of the month.
