At a recent Hollywood in the Hamptons event, David Wain (“Stella,” “The State,” Wet Hot American Summer, Wanderlust) shared updates on his upcoming projects, as well as a painful story of high school rejection with The Hollywood Reporter. Watch the video below.

Wain recently wrapped up production on They Came Together, a script he wrote shortly after Wet Hot American Summer. The script, which Wain calls “a really stupid romantic comedy,” remained unproduced until a staged reading at San Francisco’s Sketchfest renewed interest. Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Ed Helms, and Christopher Meloni star in the upcoming film.

Wain is also still trying to get the long-awaited prequel to Wet Hot American Summer off the ground. (via Prefix)
