Title: This Is 40
Description: Five years after Judd Apatow introduced Pete and Debbie in KNOCKED UP-which grossed over $200 million worldwide-Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their roles as the couple in the writer/director's THIS IS 40, a comedic look at the everyday life of an American family. What emerges is a portrait of the challenges and rewards of marriage and parenthood: sex and romance, career triumphs and financial hardships, aging parents and maturing children and everything in between. THIS IS 40 captures what it takes for a family to flourish in the middle of a lifetime together, rendered with the unique intimacy of a filmmaker collaborating with his own wife and children. The Newmarket Shooting Script book includes the complete screenplay by Judd Apatow, an original introduction on by writer/actor Lena Dunham (Girls) describing Apatow's creative process as she witnessed it over a two and a half year period; a Q&A with Apatow answers to "Five Obvious Questions" along with his own description of his writing/directing process, and 35 movie stills in a special 16-page photo section. Newmarket Shooting Script series also includes Apatow's KNOCKED UP and FUNNY PEOPLE.
