Judging by the films in development and what is constantly released, you would think that just about every Hollywood studio is obsessed with making sequels, reboots, and remakes of previously successful films and franchises.

But apparently, that’s not the case with one hit comedy film, “Pineapple Express,” which never was given the chance at a sequel even with its all-star cast and devoted following.

It would appear that Sony just wasn’t interested in more stoner adventures. Continue reading Seth Rogen Says Sony “Was Not Interested” In A ‘Pineapple Express’ Sequel at The Playlist..

Riding high: Seth Rogen’s 10 best films
Judd Apatow, Jonah Hill and James Franco to ride a new wave of big-hearted, bad-mouthed slacker movies throughout the 00’s and 10’s. Side-stepping into drama, kids’ animation and big-budget superhero franchises, Rogen is one of Hollywood’s most unassuming leads – the only guy who could do voices in Sausage Party and Kung Fu Panda 3 in the same year.

Seth Rogen Pulls Surprisingly Sweet Double Duty In “An American Pickle”
There’s a charming weirdness at the core of An American Pickle, the latest Seth Rogen star vehicle. It’s a movie that sounds like it could be either amazing or terrible, depending on the execution. Luckily, Rogen and company give it a steady hand, as well as a singular identity, making the comedy a really enjoyable one. By leaning into the premise and its various possibilities, as opposed to getting bogged down in one specific aspect and solely going for laughs there, it’s a fuller meal, if you’ll pardon the expression. As the first HBO Max cinematic (or, you know, streaming) release, it’s a good get for the company. Out now, it’s quite entertaining.

Seth Rogen says he was “traumatised” by ‘The Interview’ hacking scandal
The Interview.The film, which centres on a TV host and producer enlisted by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong-un, saw hackers infiltrate employees at Sony Pictures and release thousands of private company emails to the public in 2014.As a result the movie, which also starred James Franco, was released through streaming services such as Netflix instead of getting a standard wide cinema release in the US.Eventually being shown in selected cinemas, it was released in the UK in February 2015.Speaking about the hacking, Rogen told Cinema Blend that he hasn’t worked on a movie with Evan Goldberg. Instead, the pair opted to helm TV shows such as Preacher and Future Man.“Truthfully, after The Interview we were a little traumatised, I think.

An American Pickle Review: Seth Rogen's Wild Family Comedy Is Just Good Enough to Relish
HBO Max film An American Pickle goes to Seth Rogen, who plays dual roles as a 30-something app developer and his 30-something great-grandfather (more on how that comes to be in a bit), but the better name to pay attention to to get a feel for An American Pickle's essence is Simon Rich, whose short story is the basis for the movie (Rich also wrote the screenplay). The humorist Rich, whose delightfully deranged TV works include Man Seeking Woman and Miracle Workers, wrangles stories from his wild imagination and stitches them together with the simplicities of our shared human existence.

Seth Rogen shades Christopher Nolan over Tenet’s release amid the coronavirus pandemic
Tenet, which was later pushed back, was initially going to be released theatrically as soon as cinemas were allowed to reopen – and Seth made his opinion known on the matter. Seth, whose film An American Pickle will be the first original film released on HBO Max on August 6, decided against a theatrical release for the movie. He told The Hollywood Reporter that he and his production company were looking to Christopher for how to navigate movie releases amid the pandemic. Seth explained: ‘I’m waiting to see what Chris Nolan does. “WWCND” is basically what we’re saying at all times.‘”What would Chris Nolan do?” For a while, it seemed like the answer was to kill his greatest fans.

‘American Pickle’: Seth Rogen Crafts A Surprisingly Deep Brine With A Sweet Tale Of Family, Forgiveness & Artisanal Pickles [Review]
Based on an utterly ridiculous premise—a man who is preserved in pickle juice for 100 years and comes out of his hibernation unscathed in modern-day Brooklyn—it’s kind of unbelievable that Seth Rogen’s “An American Pickle” is a film at all, and a movie that someone actually greenlit. Originally a Sony movie, eventually sold to HBO Max in the COVID-19 pandemic, at first— in its Eastern-European-set prologue and first act, especially— it’s hard to imagine the quaint, peculiar, small stakes ‘American Pickle’ as a theatrical release, and anything more than the TV movie that it is now.

Seth Rogen’s Post-COVID-19 Plan: “What Would Christopher Nolan Do?”
It’s unclear what the long term effects will be seen from the current COVID-19 pandemic in relation to the film industry. We’ve seen studios basically write off 2020 and focus on making sure productions can begin again (safely) and that 2021 doesn’t turn into a bust.

Seth Rogen has no problem calling out anti-Semitism in Hollywood and insists the industry is ‘not controlled’ by the Jewish community. The Superbad actor, who is ‘proudly’ Jewish, has previously sparked controversy with his comments about Israel after saying that he was ‘fed lies’ about it in Jewish schools. Now, the 38-year-old comedian has addressed the issue of anti-Semitism in Hollywood and the notion that Jewish people run the entertainment industry. Speaking to Haaretz.com, Seth explained: ‘I personally haven’t found it incredibly hard to juggle.

Seth Rogen in ‘An American Pickle’ on HBO Max: Film Review
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic“An American Pickle” is a comedy that connects you to something so old world that it seems, at times, to be an artifact of prehistory. No, I’m not talking about Herschel Greenbaum (Seth Rogen), a glumly bearded Orthodox Jewish ditch digger from 1919 who escapes the Cossacks by emigrating from Schlupsk (a fictional Eastern European country) to New York City, where he finds work in a pickle factory and ends up tumbling into a vat of briny cucumbers — only to wake up, 100 years later, like Rip Van Winkle crossed with Tevye.
