UPDATE, August 14, 2007 from his manager, Alan Mills: Lurie is doing great. I’m going to a screening for Walk Hard on Wednesday. His indie is still being edited. The great news is that he just booked a huge supporting role in Judd Apatow’s “Step Brothers” opposite Will Ferrell and John C. Riley. It will be his second time working for Apatow and Riley. He’ll be working for about four or five weeks. And the movie has a great musical number, which will really showcase him. He’s made incredible progress this year.
