Judd Apatow Director of the new film Funny People (out today) has been given a three film deal with Universal Pictures.

Universal Pictures has kept its key funny guy in the studio fold, signing a three-picture directing deal with “Funny People” helmer Judd Apatow.

While Apatow produces films for other studios, he has never directed a film outside of Universal. Studio opens his latest, “Funny People,” today on 3,007 screens.

Apatow made his directing debut on 2005 comedy hit ”The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” which he followed with 2007’s ”Knocked Up.”

He’s going to stay a busy guy for years to come, and hopefully keep the funny coming.
