Get Ready to Be “Green with Envy” Caleb Hamilton, May 23, 2011 Over the weekend, audiences who saw Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides were shown a trailer for a film called Green with Envy starring Amy Adams and Jason Segel as a young couple who take a romantic trip to Hollywood for their anniversary. But all is not what it seems, and Green with Envy seems to be a cover for another movie.
