Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

Holy shit, this film is now at the top of the list of things I have to see.

When I was on the SUPER BAD set recently, producer Shauna Robertson talked to me about another script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg called PINEAPPLE EXPRESS. She couldn’t say the title to me without laughing, and I’ll be honest... I can’t say the title without laughing, either. What really makes it funny, though, is the notion that David Gordon Green is now the director attached to the film.

David Gordon Green. Director of the incredible GEORGE WASHINGTON, the best Terrence Malick film that Malick never made. Director of ALL THE REAL GIRLS, one of the most eccentric and affecting romances of this decade. Director of the underrated UNDERTOW, a modern-day NIGHT OF THE HUNTER with some great performances from a young cast. Not the first name you’d think of when you are putting together an action-comedy.

Still... this is who Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson have signed to direct the film. And the choice has me crazy to see what he’s going to do, absolutely intrigued. I think Seth Rogen’s just about to explode as a movie star, and he’ll co-star here with James Franco as a pair of pot-smoking buddies who get caught up in a giant international drug cartel.

Here’s the VARIETY story that announced the deal:

"This project is an opportunity to plant an absurd buddy comedy in a rough-and-tumble action movie," Green said. "I've always been a sucker for the genre and hungry to fire up a comedy where characters don't get lost in their own concept."
