We are two documentaries deep into reflecting on the infamous Fyre Festival disaster scam, but we’re not finished with it yet. It turns out that Seth Rogen and Andy Samberg are working on a spoof documentary of the Fyre Festival to really highlight the comedic absurdity of the whole thing.
Seth Rogen and The Lonely Island comedy trio made up of Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg, and Jorma Taccone, actually teased the production back in 2017, though spoken nothing off the project since then.
This seems like a good time to mention the movie we are making with @thelonelyisland about a music festival that goes HORRIBLY WRONG.

For real, thinking about suing #FyreFestival for stealing our idea. https://t.co/uiLxhzLg85

In discussion with the Daily Beast, Taccone described the new flick as something similar to The Lonely Island’s tour documentary spoof, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.
“I don’t want to divulge all the details” He said. “But we’re figuring it out right now. You’ve seen the docs, right? It’s crazy. This is something that Akiva and Seth cooked up, and we’re figuring it all out right now.”
It will be interesting to see how they manage to take the piss out of the Fyre Festival disaster, when the whole thing really takes the piss out of itself. But having Seth Rogen and Andy Samberg involved definitely sounds promising.
