Hey, check it out… Jason Schwartzman and Zach Galifianakis are starring in a new HBO show together! I vaguely remember hearing some early announcements about this a while back, but regardless, it feels like this kind of came out of nowhere. After seeing the short teaser for Bored to Death, I simply cannot wait to see it.

The basic idea is that Jason Schwartzman is a writer who is going through a painful break-up. He loves Raymond Chandler novels, and apparently decides to make a change in his life by becoming a real-life private eye. I love the concept and I love Schwartzman when given the right roles, and this kind of has an I Heart Huckabees feel to it. The cast also includes Ted Danson and Parker Posey, and it premieres in September. Check out the teaser trailer after the jump and see what you think.

    Very cool.

    I love everything Schwatrzman does as well and given this cast and the fact that it’s HBO I may have to order that channel for once and for all.

    ps. Does every production just let Galifinakis wear whatever he wants? It’s seems like he’s been wearing the same clothes (and beard) in every project.

    this could be the new series HBO so desperately needs. Officially hyped.
