Zach Galifianakis to play agoraphobic

Not to turn all pop-culture fanboy, but...Zach Galifianakis is one of my favorite comedians. If you don't know him, the short bit above will give you a sense of his stage persona: absurd, askew, and very, very funny. Today's news is cool because it gives me a chance to mention him on a blog about panic and anxiety. How so? Apparently, Galifianakis going to star as an agoraphobic man in the upcoming film Town House, based on the novel by Tish Cohen.

The movie also stars Amy Adams, another great comic actor; check her out in this scene from Talladega Nights:



To top it off, Town House is being directed by John Carney, who directed Once, one of the most purely lovely films I've seen in the past decade. Here's the trailer:



I am so going to see this movie.
