The very brilliant Zach Galifianakis is in negotiations to star in It's Kind of a Funny Story, the coming-of-age "dramedy" from Half Nelson writer-directors Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Emma Roberts, niece of Julia and daughter of Eric, is also in negotiations to join the film. The Hangover star is hot property after wowing audiences in the huge hit comedy - which currently stands as the biggest movie of the year in Ireland - and has already wrapped the road movie Due Date with Robert Downey Jr. Fleck and Boden are coming off their second critical hit after Half Nelson, Sugar, which wowed festival audiences all over the world. A nice chance for Galifianakis to show some range with some very promising filmmakers.
