After the debacle of this year's Fyre Festival due to unpreparedness and harsh tropical conditions, Seth Rogen revealed that he has been working on a project that deals with a music festival that went terribly wrong.

The 35-year-old-actor took to Twitter and confirmed the news of a project with a similar plot, with The Lonely Island.

The 'Neighbours 2' stars tweeted, "This seems like a good time to mention the movie we are making with @thelonelyisland about a music festival that goes HORRIBLY WRONG."

The Lonely Island, which includes comedians like Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer, also confirmed the same with a tweet.

They wrote, "For real, thinking about suing #FyreFestival for stealing our idea."

Fyre Festival was postponed indefinitely with all incoming flights to the Great Exuma Island location being cancelled.

The festival descended into chaos after guests found themselves stranded at an unfinished site after being promised a luxury event attended by supermodels including Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski.

For the unversed, Fyre Festival is a musical event which was scheduled to take place in the Bahamian island of Great Exuma over two weekends in April and May.
