Here's Seth Rogen and James Franco introducing the new trailer for their apocalypse comedy This Is the End (previously titled End of the World), which comes out June 14th, 2013. It stars Rogen, Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, and Craig Robinson as themselves facing the end of the world in Los Angeles. Rogen wrote and directed the movie with his longtime writing partner Evan Goldberg, and Michael Cera, Emma Watson, Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Rihanna, Aziz Ansari, Mindy Kaling, Martin Starr, David Krumholtz, and Kevin Hart also appear as themselves. The trailer is being released this week to coincide with the Mayan-predicted apocalypse and features some jokes [...]
Here’s the trailer for Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand’s new comedy The Guilt Trip, coming to theaters this Christmas. Produced by Lorne Michaels, directed by Anne Fletcher (The Proposal), and written by Dan Fogelman (Crazy, Stupid, Love.), the movie stars Rogen as an inventor who invites his overbearing mother (Streisand) on a cross-country business trip with him. Adam Scott, Casey Wilson, Colin Hanks, Danny Pudi, and Creed Bratton all play supporting roles. The movie looks pretty funny, and it should be way more enjoyable than actually spending 8 days in the car with a stereotypical Jewish mother character.
This monologue from the Independent Spirits Award is just the kind of thing the Academy Awards need. Fewer vague gestures of respect towards the history of film; more marveling at Harvey Keitel's enormous bush in Bad Lieutenant. Fewer mirthless, obligatory shout-outs or meanspirited digs; more telling it like it is re: Brett Ratner. More acknowledgment of the inherent weirdness of awards ceremonies. More self-deprecation. More Seth Rogen.
Seth Rogen is producing a spy comedy currently in-development at Disney, and he might also star in it. It's about "a top secret agent being kidnapped, leaving his tech support team and researchers to rescue him." Would Rogen play the top secret agent? Probably not. The tech support team? A researcher? WE JUST DON'T KNOW. Oh my gosh, I can already tell this movie is gonna be super suspenseful!
I only worked in the public library system for a short time, but let's just say this photo seems about right. Entertainment Weekly has the first look at Seth Rogen as The League's Dirty Randy, the oft-mentioned, never-before-scene porn directing buddy of Jason Mantzoukas's character Rafi. Turns out, Randy was busy staring off into the middle distance while insisting that he re-shelve all the books himself. Just let him, you guys. He's got scorpions all over his shirt.
The League's fourth season wraps up next month, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the FX sitcom has a whole slew of impressive guest stars lined up to round out the year. The show will be airing two new episodes a night on December 6th, 13th, and 20th, and two of the best guest stars from last season are set to return: Seth Rogen and Jeff Golblum as Rafi's friend Dirty Randy and Ruxin's sleazy father Rupert, respectively. Dirty Randy will be preparing for the world to end in a December 13th episode, while Rupert Ruxin will pop up on December 20th to "insert himself into a marital [...]
Okay, I know this shouldn't be the takeaway from this interview with Jay Baruchel, in which he talks about writing roles for women and for himself in Goon and Random Acts of Violence, plus getting ready to work on Seth Rogen's The Apocalypse, but how crazy is it that he's barely met James Franco? "People have always sort of locked me into this sort of [Judd Apatow–based] stable, but the truth is…I have met Franco a grand total of twice in my life, and it was literally just a handshake, 'Nice to meet you,' kind of thing." Who knew?
Ben Stiller will star in, direct, and executive produce a comedy pilot for HBO called All Talk. Written by Jonathan Safran Foer, it's about "the daily and life-altering dramas of a Jewish family in Washington, DC" and is being called “politically, religiously, culturally, intellectually and sexually irreverent.” That is a lot of ways to be irreverent. Let's see if I can be irreverent in all those ways in one sentence: "Hey Obama, Jesus, Broadway and Noam Chomsky: wanna fuck?" NAILED IT.
Paul Feig is on board to direct and executive produce an HBO pilot of his own, from Darren Star, the creator of Sex and the City. The [...]
In the days leading up to the release of Tower Heist, one of the many, many stories I read about Eddie Murphy stated that from roughly 1982-1986, the actor had the greatest five-year stretch of any comedian, ever. The writer was including not only his gig as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, but also his stand-up routine and his films. That got me wondering whether, in fact, Murphy did have the best half-decade of all-time, with one exception: to only include movies. So, I looked at the filmography of every lauded, respected, and hilarious comedian (and I chose only people who we’d think of as comedians first, [...]
What's that? What was that loud squishy popping noise? AaaAAAH what was it? Oh okay, just every nerd's heart exploding like the hypermatter core of the Death Star II at the hands of the Alliance. Aziz Ansari, Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, and Seth Rogen all make appearances in this video for Stand Up 2 Cancer, finally consummating the longtime will-they-or-won't-they flirtation between comedy and Star Wars.
"I was looking for kids who seemed authentic," says Judd Apatow about the casting process for his and Paul Feig's cult hit late 90s high school series Freaks and Geeks. Apatow and Feig certainly found an eclectic bunch of real teen actresses and actors, all of whom seemed like actual high school students and not just performers trying to fit into the usual stock teen movie clichés. Feig recalls in a recent A.V. Club interview, “We can’t just cast this with a bunch of beautiful kids and put glasses on them and mess up their hair and say, 'Oh, they’re nerds.’ We’ve got to have real casting.' [...]
Seth Rogen, meet your new partner Kevin Hart. You two have drastically different ideas about police work (likely) and pretty unorthodox methods (probably), but through a series of comic misadventures (almost definitely), you'll learn to work as a team and save the city (100% happening). Who needs a plot summary? I just gave you everything you need to know to enjoy the upcoming police comedy with Rogen and Hart. Now you can spend that saved energy on designing a police uniform-inspired outfit to wear to the theater.
What was once calledJay & Seth vs. the Apocalypse is now called The Apocalypse, and its cast of Jay Baruchel and Seth Rogen has ballooned out to include James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson – still all trapped in an apartment during the apocalypse. There's always room for those guys in an end-of-days fallout-shelter-type gathering, as I always say (it's a very clumsy motto, and almost never applicable to the situation). Seth Rogen will direct the movie, which will likely start shooting in the fall.
Here's the first promo for the upcoming season of The League, which shows Seth Rogen's Dirty Randy character taking some cheesecake photos and generally being, well, dirty. Also: a reenactment of the Super Bowl Shuffle, which I can definitely get behind. Fair warning, this 30 second ad has a 15 second ad tacked onto the front of it and a popover ad on top of it. It is what it is. Stupid internet.
