The Movies Of George Simmons From FUNNY PEOPLE
The viral marketing is really kicking up for Judd Apatow’s Funny People. If you’ve seen the trailer, you’ll know that Adam Sandler plays a famous comedian by the name of George Simmons in the film. To make the world of the movie that much more real, Apatow went out and created an actual resume for Simmons, complete with comedy albums and a slate of “box office hits.” You can head over to his “official” website now to find out more about the actor. Check out the posters for his movies above, with loglines and even a few clips below.
