Seth RogenThat Kevin Smith and Seth Rogen, two funnymen known for their raunchy yet touching blend of humor, have teamed up for "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" is so obviously a good match as to be of little surprise to even their most peripheral fans.

And if two guys who traffic in similar comedic tones joining up isn't a shock, then the fact that they both adapted a screenplay from the same source material shouldn't be either. Except, of course, that the source material in question is a superhero movie. Read More...

Posted 11/28/07 10:25 am EST by in News


Break out Black Beauty and get ready your masks!

Three months after promising MTV that his “Green Hornet” would be an "awesome action movie," Seth Rogen is back with news on the 71-year-old superhero, confirming to our very own Josh Horowitz that he will indeed suit up in the famous green fedora.

That is, just as soon as he starts working out.

"You should believe that I can do some physical activity," Rogen, the somewhat rotund star of "Knocked Up" laughed. "You have to believe I can do SOMETHING."

The actor we're most thankful for this past year, Rogen needs prove nothing to us – that's how confident we are that anything this man touches turns to gold. So we were all ears when he wanted to reveal more details about this highly anticipated upcoming project. Read More...

Seth Rogen Promises 'Green Hornet' Will Be An 'Awesome Action Movie'

Posted 8/14/07 4:55 pm EST by in News


Seth RogenThe character is 71-years-old, has been enjoyed by generations of fans, and helped launch a Bruce Lee phenomenon that would forever change Hollywood. Not to be overshadowed, Seth Rogen believes his controversial appointment as writer/star of the upcoming "Green Hornet" movie has already made its own unique impact on pop culture.

"Yeah, that pissed off the nerds huh?," he grinned recently, punctuating the point with his staccato laugh. "It's my only goal, to piss off nerds."

But then, getting as serious as the "Knocked Up" funnyman ever gets about anything, Rogen said he and writing partner Evan Goldberg begin writing the script this week. "We're really going to sit down and get into it," he insisted. "We made 'Pineapple Express', which is an action-comedy, but the action is the thing that stood out to the people we've shown the movie to so far - and my favorite types of movies are action/adventure movies, so that's what we're trying to do. We really want to make it an awesome action movie." Read More...
