Several announcements today about web series crossing over to television and film. Variety reports HBO has ordered 10 half hour segments from Funny or Die and taken a small equity stake in the company - a smart deal as HBO is in need of low cost highly original, high quality niche content, something Funny or Die has plenty of. HBO provides Funny or Die access to the larger audience they’ve been seeking.

Seth Rogen’s YouTube trailer for the nonexistent film Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse (above) will become a feature in reality according to the Hollywood Reporter. Mandate Pictures has agreed to finance the film and they’re shopping for a director.

And highly successful Suave and Sprint vehicle In the Motherhood will next season make the jump to ABC according to Entertainment Weekly, assuming that is, the talent signs on.
