Top Secret Untitled Lonely Island Movie will be set in the world of music and will, of course, star creators Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone.

The three funny men started to make waves in 2000 by writing, directing and producing their own brand of comedy and showcasing it on www.thelonelyisland.com.

From there, The Lonely Island broke into the mainstream with their incredibly popular Saturday Night Live Digital Shorts with Justin Timberlake’s D**k In A Box even winning an Emmy.

Producing the film will be newcomer Judd Apatow who appears at least mildly excited about the venture. He said: "I have begged these fine gentlemen to allow me to produce one of their films since day one and finally they decided my whining needed to come to an end."

Thankfully, it doesn’t appear that The Lonely Island have been pushed into this project against their will too much.

They said: "Not to be hyperbolic, but we are seriously zazzed about this movie."

With fans worldwide, it’s highly likely that thousands of other people are also feeling "zazzed" after this exciting announcement.

The Top Secret Untitled Lonely Island Movie will be released by Universal Pictures worldwide.
