Mike Sampson — Tue, 14 May 2013 18:03:22 +0000

James Franco is asked often if they'll ever make a 'Pineapple Express 2' and for the first time we have an answer that sounds like a sequel to the 2008 hit is a lot closer than we think. The actor gives us our best update yet on 'Pineapple Express 2' and also lets us know that we'll never see a sequel to 'Your Highness,' a movie he says "sucks."

Damon Houx — Tue, 14 May 2013 02:57:33 +0000

One of the gimmicks behind Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's 'This is the End' is that the cast is loaded with celebrities playing themselves. But that gets interesting when you have a performer like James Franco, whose life has become an art project. In this new featurette, you can see how the actors approached playing themselves.

Seth Rogen and FX Producing Animated 'Bigfoot' Comedy

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 23:00:25 +0000

FX has had a difficult time getting animated comedies off the ground apart from 'Archer,' as their most recent effort 'Unsupervised' floundered in both ratings and reviews, but their latest project should have none of those troubles. 'This is the End' funnyman Seth Rogen has partnered with FX and Evan Goldberg to bring to life an animated comedy based on the works of Graham Roumieu's faux autobiographical Bigfoot book 'In Me Own Words, Me Write Book,' but will FX capture that ever-elusive animated success?

Damon Houx — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:27:23 +0000

'This is the End' got an early jump on April Fool's Day by releasing a fake trailer for 'Pinapple Express 2,' but that was all a build-up to the latest trailer for the movie, which is NSFW, filthy and filled with violence. It's also pretty great.

'Pineapple Express 2′ Trailer: This Has to Be an April Fool's Joke, Right?

Mike Sampson — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:04:56 +0000

Despite his prolific movie career, Judd Apatow favorite Seth Rogen has been making the rounds of TV lately, years after his starring turns in 'Freaks and Geeks' and 'Undeclared.'

'The Guilt Trip' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 14:34:48 +0000

I imagine the pitch meeting went like this: "Producer: We got Barbra Streisand, we got Seth Rogen, we get 'em in a car. Release it around Christmas. I mean, you gotta take grandma somewhere during the Holidays. Executive: Are there life-lessons involved? Producer: Does the Pope crap in the woods? Of course there are."

Lo and behold, a year later, these two guys found themselves at the premiere for 'The Guilt Trip,' a movie that didn't cost too much to make and won't make that much of an impact but will empower everyone involved to one day strike again.

'Freaks and Geeks' Then and Now: The All-Star Cast Reunites After 12 Years

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:02:17 +0000

Many classic but cancelled series hold the distinction of featuring a number of A-list stars before making their big breaks, but few hold such a distinguished roster as Judd Apatow's cancelled 2000 NBC series 'Freaks and Geeks.' The retro series featured the likes of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, Lizzy Caplan, Busy Philipps, Martin Starr and even Thomas Wilson (Biff of 'Back to the Future'), despite only running 18 episodes. Twelve years later, are you ready to see the entire cast reunite?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 21:45:35 +0000

FX's fantasy sport comedy 'The League' may not receive as much attention as its sibling 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,' or even the other FX comedies, but it sure knows how to bring the thunder now and again. Currently in its fourth season, 'The League' is set to return both previous guest stars Seth Rogen and Jeff Goldblum respectively, as well as add a fantasy team of other well-known stars.

'Take This Waltz' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 19:00:59 +0000

Edward G. Robinson played gangsters, John Wayne played cowboys, Michelle Williams plays emotionally peripatetic women who break up with their husbands.

It's impossible not to do a compare and contrast between 'Take This Waltz' and 'Blue Valentine.' They elicit very similar emotions in the viewer and cover much of the same ground. Every spousal separation is unique, however, so rest assured the “getting there” is different enough to merit this new film which, while I can safely say I didn't enjoy, I recognize has some strong components.

Seth Rogen and Kevin Hart Team Up for Buddy Cop Comedy

Damon Houx — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 05:55:21 +0000

Movies have been replete with unlikely partners and the buddy cop genre is just as often made up of two people who don't want to work together as ones where they're the best of friends. Rodney Rothman has sold a script to Paramount for Seth Rogen and Kevin Hart to play the first interracial police partners during the jazz age. Perhaps they'll start as antagonists and become best of friends?
