Seth Rogan talks PineApple Express

Seth Rogan is working on a new action / comedy Pineapple Express and we had the chance to ask him about it. The movie is written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. It follows a pair of pott smoking buddies who get mixed up with a drug gang. It begins shooting later this year. When we asked Seth about it he told us:

Sexually speaking, Pineapple Express is not nearly as dirty as Superbad or maybe even Knocked Up. It just isn’t really a sexual movie at all. It’s more of a marijuana-themed buddy comedy, more in the tone of say, 48 Hours or Midnight Run or something like that. But action-wise, it’s pretty jammed packed.

We’ve got car chases and shoot-outs and explosions and me holding many machine guns which is amusing to me. I hope other people find it entertaining [laughs], but when you say you’re making an action comedy, it’s like anything else. We thought it really had to function as both an action movie and as a comedy. With a romantic comedy, it needs to function in those worlds as well, so we took that very seriously.
