Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen is set to reunite for an untitled Xmas comedy, the actors were last seen together on-screen in 2011’s drama comedy “50/50”. The Sony pic is on the fast track for a summer 2014 start, with “50/50” director Jonathan Levine expected to serve behind the lens. Producers/financiers Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane are tapped to join the production team for the upcoming comedy.

Gordon-Levitt and Rogen have already been confirmed, with the third lead role still vacant. I wonder if Jonah Hill or James Franco will be up for the gig? The entire “50/50” ensemble is back to take a swing at another big successful comedy. Inspired by a true story, “50/50” featured Gordon-Levitt as he struggles after a cancer diagnosis and his subsequent struggle to beat the disease. The film gained critical acclaim and received Best Picture nomination at the 69th Golden Globe Awards. Produced on a bootstrap budget of only $8 million , the pic raked in over $39 million worldwide.
