“For a Good Time, Call…” New Project?
Written by on July 24th, 2011

According to the user-updated website Internet Movie Database, Seth is attached to star in the new film titled, For a Good Time, Call… which is set for a 2012 release. According to the website, the film was written by Seth’s fiance, Lauren Miller and will be directed by Jamie Travis.

The plot is brief, “the story of two women who start a phone sex line” and is rumored to also star Ari Graynor (“Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”) and Lauren Miller.

Please be advised that IMDb is in no way an official movie website – it is fan/user updated so consider this recent project only a rumor until some sort of confirmation has been released.


“Knocked Up” Spin-Off Confirmed?
Written by on January 11th, 2011

For those who were craving some more from 2007’s wacky romantic comedy Knocked Up that starred Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen as not so star-crossed lovers, will be delighted that The Wrap is confirming Judd Apatow will bring his signature humor back with a spin off comedy of sorts starring Leslie Mann & Paul Rudd. They’ll be reprising their roles as married couple Debbie (Heigl’s sister). and Pete respectively.

Moving up from supporting to lead status isn’t anything new for Paul Rudd as his star has been on the rise in recent years with lead roles in several films since Knocked Up while Leslie Mann is married to Apatow and has collaborated with her husband on many of his films.

Plot details are still unknown for the moment and no confirmation that Rogen and Heigl will reprise their roles also for any cameos but Apatow himself will be writing and directing the film with Universal Pictures scheduling production to begin later in the year in time to hit theaters June 1, 2012.

Is a “Knocked Up” Spin-Off in the Works?
Written by on January 8th, 2011

Much like “16 and Pregnant” gave birth to “Teen Mom,” it seemed as though if Judd Apatow were ever to return to the world of “Knocked Up,” his hit 2007 comedy, the writer/director would continue the story with more about Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl’s characters and the child they had together.

But that’s not what’s happening — not least of all because of the messy public backbiting between Apatow and Heigl over her character, Alison. Instead, Apatow is pushing forward with an extension of that world featuring Alison’s sister, Debbie (Leslie Mann), and brother-in-law, Pete (Paul Rudd). The film will apparently tell a story separate from the one told in “Knocked Up,” a story that simply focuses on Debbie and Pete’s troubled marriage.

Still, the question remains: Will Heigl or Rogen pop up at any point in the new film? MTV News put that very question to Rogen when we caught up with him while he was promoting “Green Hornet.” (Source)


Seth to Star in “Fight For Your Right Revisited” Short Film?
Written by on December 8th, 2010

They fought for their right to party in hilarious movies like “Stepbrothers,” “Pineapple Express,” “School of Rock” and “Pedicab Confessions” (hey, it counts!). And now Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jack Blackand Elijah Wood are teaming up to star in “Fight For Your Right Revisited,” a short film written and directed by Beastie Boy Adam “MCA” Yauch. The flick will premiere at Sundance in the spring. And we thought Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis were a comedy dream team!

A recently released still of the film shows Wood as Adam “A-Rock” Horovitz, Rogen as Mike “Mike D” Diamond and McBride as Yauch. No word yet on who Ferrell, Reilly and Black will be playing, but if this video is just a remake of the Beastie’s original 1986 video for “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party),” then my vote’s on Black as Ric Menello.

But 24 Bitsis calling this a “lulz-packed sequel,” which could follow the boys after they leave the party, thus making the video even more awesome. I think pretty much everyone who’s ever seen the classic Beastie Boys video would love to see these awesome actors coming up with something to top the epic pie fight.


“Megalomania” Movie Information
Written by on October 17th, 2010

Listed on www.imdb.com is a project titled, “Megalomania” which is said to feature the voices of Seth Rogen, Steve Buscemi and Juliette Lewis – well I have a small amount of information regarding this potential project. In terms of the cast, nothing has been confirmed nor does the movie have an official release date yet.

“Megalomania” will be directed by Michel Gondry and his son Paul Gondry with an expectant 2011 release. Below is a brief synopsis fans can expect story-wise.

A visionary journey into a punk-rock future where three rebellious teenagers rise up against their government and discover that ruling the world is not as easy as it seems, based on a universe created by Michel Gondry’s son Paul.


Seth to Play John Belushi in Biopic?
Written by on September 4th, 2010

News broke last month that Todd Phillips was developing a John Belushi biopic — the latest in a long string of efforts to thrust the “Saturday Night Live” funnyman’s life in front of the camera — and the “Hangover” director was anything but pleased.

“That’s something that gets released by some agent of somebody and then you get asked questions about it,” Phillips told MTV News, in what we believe are his first public comments about the project. “It’s in its very nascent stages.” But ever the good sport, Phillips expanded on what has been reported in the trades.

The biopic will likely not have the easily digestible character arc that we’ve seen in recent Oscar-bait biopics and the man who eventually plays Belushi could be either a household name or an unknown actor.

“Our goal is not to do a traditional biopic approach with it that people expect, whether you’re talking about ‘Walk the Line’ or ‘Ray.’ All good movies, but our goal is not to make that typical biopic,” Phillips explained. “We want to make a movie that, if John Belushi saw it, he would be happy that it captured his spirit. Sometimes I feel that they don’t entirely capture the spirit of the person they’re about. Our goal is to capture the spirit of Belushi, not necessarily make a straight-ahead biopic.”

At the moment, Steve Conrad (“The Pursuit of Happyness”) is still working on a story treatment with Phillips and hasn’t even begun work on the actual script. As Phillips puts it, “Steve Conrad, who’s a f–king brilliant writer, is working on a story for it.”

Now, it’s all well and good to assert that you’re not going make a traditional biopic, but what exactly does that mean? Perhaps a more compressed timeline, one that spans years or even months rather then decades?

“It could mean that,” he said. “There are a lot of ways to interpret it. One of the reasons I’m being a bit vague is because we haven’t nailed it yet. It’s in early stages. I’m really talking about the very television-narrative approach that a lot of biopics take. We don’t want to do that. We’re trying to take a very renegade approach to who I think was one of the most renegade comedy actors of all time. It’s about nailing the script down at this point,” he said. “If it’s a new face or if it’s someone people are familiar with, we haven’t figured that out yet. It’s not even so much about nailing down the script as the renegade approach to a renegade actor.”

And just who might play that renegade? A bunch of names have been floated in the press — including Jack Black, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen and Zach Galifianakis, one of Phillips’ frequent collaborators — but at this point it’s simply too early in the process for Phillips to speculate. (Source)

Daniel Radcliffe to Battle the Apocalypse?
Written by on August 5th, 2010

Daniel Radcliffe is in talks to star in comedy horror movie Jay And Seth Vs The Apocalypse. Knocked Up star Seth Rogen and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice actor Jay Baruchel are remaking the short they made in film school for the big screen – and the Harry Potter star is rumoured to have asked to audition for the lead role.

A source revealed: “Daniel Radcliffe is keen to get involved.”

Jay was asked about the rumours at a junket for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice at the weekend and said: “No comment. I can neither confirm, nor deny that.”

Jay and Seth made the short film back in 2007 at film school with friend Jason Stone and it is now set to be made into a 3D feature film, set for release in 2012.

A spokeswoman for Daniel said: “Daniel is confirmed to star in Hammer Films’ forthcoming feature The Woman in Black which films this autumn and then in 2011 he will transfer to Broadway to star in the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. He has no other firm commitments beyond this point at this time.”

“Pineapple Express 2″ Coming Soon?
Written by on July 29th, 2010

Budgeted at $27 million, “Pineapple Express” went on to make $87 million at the box office, now it sounds like fans can possibly look forward to a sequel. Evan Goldberg, Seth’s writing partner, sounds off on his thoughts belows:

“Pineapple 2″ is something that we pressured the studio to do for a while, and they require no pressure. Everybody wants to do it, it’s just we all have the chance after the success of those movies to do whatever they want, and everybody took that chance, and they made ‘Your Highness’ and Judd went and made ["Funny People"] and we went and made stuff. I would not be surprised if we all got back and made ‘Pineapple 2.’

We have the whole story planned out. But I don’t know, it’s still a toss up. Because that movie I’m very proud of, I don’t want to tamper with it. It kind of begs a sequel, but I don’t know. ‘Pineapple ’2 is the most likely [Judd Apatow-produced project] with us all. We kind of made the classic mistake of people who had a successful film: we then booked everything we could because we thought it’d be our only chance. It still could be our only chance, but man are we booked.”
