The film would represent the duo’s first major post-Gavin writing project.
James was not giving much away about the plot, but teased: “We write stuff about people, we’re good with people, so it’s definitely not going to be like The Matrix or 2012.”

The annual event, hosted by the Royal Television Society North West, aims to “give a wide audience access to the creativity of television writers, producers and onscreen talent.”
Reportedly Corden + Jones will take a more Q&A approach,
“It’s an honour to be asked to do this and get to talk together publicly. But to call this a lecture couldn’t be more wrong, it will be more a bit of fun! Please lower any expectations and you’ll probably enjoy it,” said Corden. “
American astronaut Captain Charles “Chuck” Baker lands on Planet 51 thinking he’s the first person to step foot on it. To his surprise, he finds that this planet is inhabited by little green people who are happily living in a white picket fence world, and whose only fear is that it will be overrun by alien invaders…like Chuck! “
Footballer James Redknapp and cricket hero Stuart Broad will act as team captains with Corden serving as referee, working title A League of Their Own.
The comedy show rests on the premise that sporting knowledge is all about lists. Contestants have to put soccer player David James’s five worst haircuts in chronological order, or say which football team has had the most sex scandals this season. It will also feature physical challenges and celebrity guest cameos.”
It’s reported the show will air starting in late 2009 on Sky1 HD.
