By Leave a Comment

seth-rogenIt’s taken far longer than anyone expected to get the Steve Job biopic that Aaron Sorkin is writing ready to go, but now it seems to be finally moving forward, with Christian Bale signing on the star last week. Now he’s got a co-star, with TheWrap reporting that Seth Rogen is in talks to play Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

The film is based on Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs, which was written after extensive interviews with the Apple head honcho and those around him. The film version will be split into three parts, centred around the keynote speeches made when he announced three iconic Apple products, the Mac, NeXT and the original iPod.

It’s believed that around this is will be able to tell the story of the founding on Apple and Jobs’ tumultuous journey. Wozniak co-founded Apple, and is credited with launching the Apple I and Apple II personal computers in the late 1970s.

Danny Boyle is set to direct although it’s not clear when it will shoot.

By Leave a Comment

the-interview-poster1Seth Rogen likes to have a Franco around, whether it’s Dave in the recent Bad Neighbours of James in the upcoming The Interview.

Now a trailer and poster for the latter have arrived. And this time around Seth has to kill a dictator!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In the action-comedy The Interview, Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show “Skylark Tonight.” When they discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least-qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un.’

It’s due out in October. [Read more…]

Zac Efron Shows He’s Still Incredibly Hot In Full Drag In A Fun Skit

By Leave a Comment


While the comedy Neighbors is getting mixed notices, Zac Efron and Seth Rogen seem to be having great fun promoting it.

That includes a The Tonight Show appearance which included joining new host Jimmy Fallon for a skit that involved them all getting dragged up.

And there’s no doubt that whether dressed as a man or a woman – out of those three guys Zac would always win on hotness.

Fallon plays adolescent host of a Nick Teen show called ‘Ew’, and he’s got to deal with a bearded tween played by Rogen and a hair flicking Zac – and for all of them it’s selfie time.

Take a look at the skit above and check out a selfie pic Zac released below. [Read more…]

Bad Neighbours (aka Neighbors) (Cinema)

Starring: , , ,
Director:
Running Time:
Certificate:
Release Date:

The title is the first clue. Any film with a duh title like that is clearly the product of the Hollywood sausage machine, and Bad Neighbours is a classic example. The script seems to be written on autopilot, or on a software programme that probably looks like settings>frat boy comedy>couple of stars>condom gags>90 minutes. It’s predictable, utterly unfunny, full of tiresome knob and beer gabs and a total waste of the talent involved. [Read more…]

Conrad Vernon (Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted) and Greg Tiernan are directing from a script by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shafir. It’s described as ‘very R-rated’ and should be in cinemas in 2015.

New Bad Neighbours Red Band Trailer – Seth Rogen and Zac Efron are not getting on

By Leave a Comment


Who wouldn’t want to live next door to Zac Efron? Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, that’s who, as this new red-band trailer for Bad Neighbours (known simply as Neighbors in the US) shows.

Now a couple of new red-band trailers have arrived, which you can watch right here.

The movie follows Rogen’s character, whose life is upended when the house next door is taken over by a bunch of fratboys, including Zac Efron and Dave Franco. As fratboys are wont to do in the movies, they soon cause chaos.

The movie certainly looks like it might be fun, but we’ll have to wait and see whether Nicholas Stoller’s movie is as entertaining as it appear it could be.

The movie’s out May 9th.

Jonathan Levine to Direct Brooklyn Castle, With Seth Rogen Producing

By Leave a Comment

jonathan-levineSeth Rogen must be pining for the days of 50/50, as a couple of weeks ago it was revealed he was planning to reteam with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and director Jonathan Levine for a currently untitled Christmassy comedy. Now he’s going to produce an movie adaptation of the documentary Brooklyn Castle, which also has Jonathan Levine attached to direct, according to Deadline.

They’re also bringing back 50/50 screenwriter Will Reiser, who is writing the script based on Katie Dellamaggiore’s 2012 doc. That film is about a team of chess champions who hail from an inner-city Brooklyn school. However budget cuts threaten to take the team away from these gifted students, for whom chess has become more important than just being a game.

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are producing, and they’re going to be really busy as it’s also been revealed recently they’re planning to direct an adaptation of the book Console Wars, about the battle between Nintendo and Sega in the 1990s.
