Funnyman Seth Rogen has signed on to star in Warner Bros.' Observe and Report, says Variety. To be written and directed by Jody Hill, the film finds Rogen as a self-important mall cop who gets into a turf battle with he local lawmen. Filming begins in April.

Continuing to prove that Hollywood only has one bright idea at a time, Columbia Pictures is nearing production on its own similarly themed comedy, aptly titled Mall Cop. That pic will star Kevin James in what's expected to be a more family-friendly role than Rogen's.

Which one are you more likely to watch? — Adam Bryant

It's frustrating to me. I wrote a comedy screenplay called "Mall-Cop" about a self-important mallcop in 1999 and have never been able to get it in anybody's hands. So I guess I'm 9 years ahead of hollywood. I always thought Will Ferrell was the perfect lead in my script.
