The Lonely Island’s forthcoming movie — a musical parody with Judd Apatow producing that might have piqued your curiosity last year — has begun production in L.A. and found a story line worth sharing. THR writes that the film will feature the usual suspects (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer) and parody boy bands and “fluffy music documentaries of recent years” — Justin Bieber and Katy Perry, they’re looking at you. Their mockumentary-esque take will follow a rapper who reunites with his former boy band to administer damage control to a dud of an album. Do your worst, guys. (Also, give us a title when you have a sec.)
