Universal Pictures’ “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” is headlined by musical digital-shorts superstars Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, collectively known as The Lonely Island. The comedy goes behind the scenes as singer/rapper Conner4Real (Samberg) faces a crisis of popularity after his sophomore album flops, leaving his fans, sycophants and rivals all wondering what to do when he’s no longer the dopest star of all.
The latest comedy from blockbuster producer Judd Apatow (“Trainwreck,” “Superbad,” “Knocked Up”) co-stars Sarah Silverman, Tim Meadows and Maya Rudolph and many of the biggest names in comedy and music in cameo performances. Co-directed by Schaffer and Taccone and written by The Lonely Island trio, “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping” is also produced by Rodney Rothman (producer of “Get Him to the Greek,” “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”; co-writer of “22 Jump Street”), as well as Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone.
In theaters June 3rd
