Seth Rogen Speaks On Possibly Producing A Pineapple Express Sequel

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Seth Rogen recently spoke on the possibility of shooting a sequel to stoner movie Pineapple Express.

While out promoting the Alzheimer Association’s Hilarity for Charity cause, the funnyman said, “I don’t think it’s so precious that I wouldn’t want to ruin it with a sequel. So yeah, I would be [into it]. We talk about it. We joke around about it.”

The original Pineapple Express is an American stoner comedy which was directed by David Gordon Green and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The flick starred Rogen and James Franco and was produce by Judd Apatow, who previously worked with Rogen and Goldberg on Superbad and Knocked Up.

The film was released on August 6, 2008.

Franco was nominated for a Golden Globe award for his stellar performance in the movie.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
