Muse Entertainment and Just For Laughs have formed a joint effort to turn out TV and feature comedies, starting with O'Cannabis, a movie about life in Canada following the legalization of marijuana.

Muse VP Jesse Prupas and Evi Regev - noted for Just For Laughs stage shows including Family Guy Live and Evil Dead: The Musical - will head development of projects at the new company, Just For Laughs Muse Comedy Productions.

O'Cannabis is in the script stage, according to a Muse spokesperson, and the company has two series in outline. The Montreal companies have worked well together in the past, having teamed with Adjacent 2 Entertainment on the well-received mock-doc series The Tournament for two seasons on CBC. Though cancelled at home, U.S. and U.K. versions of the show are in development at Warner Bros. Television and the BBC.
