UPDATE! Seth Rogen Says Michel Gondry's Changing Up His Style For THE GREEN HORNET!
Beaks here...
The OBSERVE & REPORT junket was held this morning in Los Angeles, which means Seth Rogen's been answering GREEN HORNET and FUNNY PEOPLE questions since he rolled out of bed. According to Collider's Steve Weintraub, he was extremely forthcoming with regards to the former - which, despite acquiring a new director, could be going before cameras in June.
Most interestingly, it sounds like GREEN HORNET director Michel Gondry will be muting his signature handmade aesthetic in order to, presumably, deliver a more studio-friendly summer film. Here's what Rogen told the junketeers:
Me and Evan have actually approached him with ideas, like maybe... you could do some of your weird people made out of string and shit like that. He’s like, "No, I don’t want to any of that. The fact that you think I want to do that drives me crazy and makes me never want to do anything like that again."
It also sounds like they'll be doing an origin story as well. For more on that, head over to Collider.
As for whether Stephen Chow is still in the mix as Kato (he was originally set to direct), Latino Review's El Guapo has tweeted that this is currently up in the air (i.e. there's no contract). I'm sure El Guapo will have a full story up at Latino Review later in the day.
Update!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. My work (and working) computer has been off in the land beyond beyond being fixed by the Apple people, so I'm behind on posting my interviews from SXSW, but I wanted to chime in here. I interviewed Seth Rogen when he came to town with OBSERVE & REPORT and got him to talk a bit about Green Hornet... Mostly about Stephen Chow. Chow is still part of the team. Rogen mentioned meeting with him and Gondry the previous week. But like Guapo mentions in his tweet there are no done deals. But the fact that Chow is still around and interested after stepping down as director is a good sign. I hope he does it. He'd be absolutely perfect for the role.
I'll have my full interview with Rogen up as soon as I can. Also chatted with Michael Pena (awesome guy) and the great Jody Hill (I'll save most of that info for the actual interview, but he did say that an 8 episode follow-up season to EASTBOUND & DOWN is being discussed right now).

who is first?
-
He's the American Mario Barth, so why should I care what he's saying about anything?
-
Pity no one gives a rats ass about the green hornet. Too many superhero movies, Hollywood. Too many.
-
Yeah bitches!!
-
you're all still bitches
-
Also, I concur: This will be crap if Rogen/Rudd/Aptow et al are involved.By the by, where's that story/TB about the guy doing the scores on Fast and Furious and Star Trek? It was being "updated" and "temporarily down" and it's yet to come back.Couldn't have anything to do with a few potshots taken at JJ "AICN is in bed with me" Abrams new film Star Trek Returns, could it?
-
No offense to Gondry.
-
damn whatever force was responsible for taking stephen chow off of this...
-
oh well. I like Gondry OK. I really dug Eternal Sunshine and Science of Sleep. Haven't seen Be Kind Rewind. Good for him changing his style up.
-
Rogen and Chow? Why not just call it Blankman 2: Green Guys?
-
Seth Rogen is Canadian.
-
Still trying to figure out what makes him so damn funny. He doesn't actually tell any jokes. Nothing he does is ironic or unexpected. What exactly is so damn funny about him and the movies he's in?
-
Bleh.
-
That shit is fucking stupid.
That's all I got from this article. -
I dont know why everybody hates him so much lately. I laugh my ass off in everything i´ve seen him in, it must be cool putting him down these days i guess. Ok, so he´s no Larry David but come on!
-
Harry no wonder everyone is jumping ship- as of late ...news on this site blows
-
And he used to be sort of chunky. I don't know. Did he fall a lot?
-
In fact I've been a huge fan since I first saw him in Undeclared...I'm also not a huge Green Hornet fan so it's not like I'm screaming sacrilege. That being said, I do not understand this project at all. Rogen as Hornet? C'mon
-
That's what I'm sayin'. I like Rogen, actually. He's funny in most stuff he's in. But he AIN'T the Green Hornet, unless this movie is aiming for Underdog type gags.
-
.... everyone, please don't make a big deal out of this. No crap about the mythos of THE GREEN HORNET and squids/no-squids and continuity and blah, blah, blah....
It's THE GREEN HORNET.....harmless, dumb fun. See it or don't. But let it be what it will be....will ya? -
In the old Batman show when Bruce Lee as Kato was to fight Robin, the director wanted Robin to win. Burt Ward was like "are you kidding? This is Bruce Fucking Lee...he'd crush Robin like a roach..." they ended up making it a fight to a stand still (Robin throwing his gay punches, Bruce chopping and kicking), but I think it was cool that the guy playing Robin was fanboy enough to say what he did.
Rogan could do something funny with that premise, but The Green Hornet needs the treatment The Spirit deserved, but didn't get. -
...and really dug it. Way better than I expected. As for Seth...his forte seems to be improvising and coming up with witty lines rather than drop dead funny shit.
Check out the improv outakes on SuperBad...and the shit him and Justin Long come up with in Zack and Miri is great...none of that is written on the page yet it seems so and therin lies his talent I think.
-
not a direct slapstick stoner comedy, but they are definetly going for the action/comedy feel to the film (this starsky and hutch type of a movie)..That is why chow doesn't want to diret and why gondry was chosen (eternal sunshine and be kind were both able to convey story and a bit of comedy into their plots, and thats what they want to do with a green hornet film)the truth is that sony realizes a green hornet movie would do just ok or most liley fail at the box office, but they relase rogan is a huge star right now and that action/comedies always perform great at the box officeit hasn't been announced yet, but expect supporting roles from other apatow comedians including will farrel and john c Reily
-
he was on as a second or third string buddy of kevin's. he played the same kid then, he plays the same guy now. his likeability is his doughy and passively snarky everyman character. you either like him because you have friends like him, or hate him becasue you're jealous he got famous off of playing himself and feel he ripped you off.
-
Lone Ranger movie will be more a partnership than the usual hero/sidekick dynamic. That's what they should do witth this flick. Hornet and Kato being more partners on an equal level.
-
You'll never ever be a superhero! You'll always come off as a buffoon and knowing you. There's no way there won't be Seth Rogenisms in this movie. You're a goof Rogen and I hope you're reading this Seth Rogen!
-
YOWHEREYOUATDOG?
-
Because, you know, it's funny for a fat guy to be fast.
-
He's possibly the most likable, consistently funny person since either Will Ferrel or Steve Carell. Probably idiots who think Flight of the Conchords or Shark vs. Eagle are funny. Fucking bullshit hipster comedy.
-
Flight of the Conchords guys, Dimitri Martin, Dane Cook, or the like. Their comedy is essentially "Look at how cute and ironic my jokes are! Oh aren't we all so hip!"
-
Gutsy move there, calling Rogen out from behind an online pseudonym thirty entries down in a Talkback. Really--I'm not trying to get on you here (cause I don't care), but your vehemence struck me as funny. Now feel free to call me names. Anyone who wants to--all join in....
-
From what I've heard of the story from Lee's wife, I believe, is that Burt Ward was actually talking up his martial arts skills like he could kick some ass. Lee promptly corrected him but out of respect for the production, he went along with the fight being a standstill, though everyone knows he would have beat the FUCK out of Batman, Robin, Green Hornet, and the rest of the cast and crew. Word.
-
I saw him not too long ago on an awards show presenting with Elizabeth Banks. It looked like he slimmed down a lot and actually put on some muscle weight. Hopefully this is the case with the movie as the Hornet is at least an athletic guy, if not buffed out.
-
"You can do your stupid string shit and I'll handle not being funny."
-
Scarlet McBewbs as the Black Widow edging it out by just a bit
-
He's coming out with a mall security flick when Kevin James just did one a few months back. Fuck if a Near Dark remake was axed cuz of the emo vampire fest Twilight coming out roughly the same time, you'd think they'd have the sense to axe rogens mall cop film or at least push it back further or something
-
The superhero cash-grab continues. Fuck you Hollywood.
-
Seriously. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vj4jppqwkw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbb7J2jrCVA They give him some real money, he'll do some cool action.
-
It's like casting Arnold for Mr. Freeze...oh, wait.An epic fail Comic book/comedy/action film is what you're gonna get, too.Superhero "comedies" suck. See My Super-Ex Girlfriend.
-
He must be buddies with everyone at temple and that's how he keeps his ass face on screen - and in ROMANTIC LEADS to boot
-
I liek the Green Hornet more. I think this will suck. I dont like any of Gondry's high falutin' crap. This needs a hard boilded approach
-
has been flushed down the Rogen toilet.
-
other day on here? Does anyone really care??
-
Any updates on that? Haven't sen any since pics of the red ford mustang aka the Mist Mobile
-
fuck this shit.
-
. . . but unfortunately WAY overexposed and fucking everywhere these days. And come ON, how did Flight of the Conchords get dragged into this??? And lumped in with Dane "definition of unfunny and overrated" Cook to boot???? Jesus! Season 1 of Conchords is pure comic gold. There's nothing hipster douche-bag about it at all.
-
With Rogen in it, this will be GREEN HORNET IN NAME ONLY!!!!
-
erm... no.
-
It's because AICN is in Judd Aptow and Co.'s pockets. They slobber all over every film that they do, and it shows.Ditto for JJ Abrams and Star Trek Returns.
-
Come on, guys. This isn't some sacred geek property. It's Green Fuckin' Hornet, a steaming hunk of 60's camp. The only thing notable about it was a great theme song and Bruce Lee.
-
So let me guess...The "Green" Hornet sits in the back of the Bent doin bong hits while Kato kicks all the ass. Give me a muthafuckin break.
-
what the fuck is the point of adding the 'up'? What does the 'up' part in that refference? Does that mean his previous styles were 'down'? when he finished this movie, will he be 'changing down' his style? Why are styles on an axiom of up and down, and why does that intone that he will be choosing a better style for this obviouslt vapid fairly low budget studio action comedy? It doesnt make sense. Plus it sounds gay.
-
he looks like he could be funny, he acts like he probably is being funny. But he's not.
-
seriously a guy whos got talent and resembles the average man on the website gets a hatorade bath. I guess its because fat losers dont want anyone of their ilk to be successful, it makes it much easier for them to be prententious when they have less things in the mainstream to identify with. I'm not saying seth rogen is gods gift to comedey, but hes funny.
-
It just sounds really stupid. I'm not any kind of Green Hornet fan or anything, but Seth Rogen and Michael Gondry? Really? Isn't there a better idea for this property out there?I'm glad there's a little backlash against the whole "Apatow style" comedy now. These movies are amusing, but they really aren't that good. It just seems to be a lot of shock humor and "loser-gets-lucky" stories, which just seems to have been done to death now.
-
I think that's untrue. I bet most dudes like Jack Black, who I would say fits into your "fat loser" idea.
-
Talk about the fucking pot calling the kettle black.
-
Isn't that right?
-
so much hate in here.
-
Rogen refuses to stay on his diet. Producers forced to change name of new movie to "The Green Bumblebee"
...more on this at 5:00. -
And the Rogen haters.
Oh, and the Dimitri Martin haters.
Or the Flight of the Conchords haters.
And fuck the Family Guy lovers, too, while you're at it. -
Which would make him 6 years old when wonder years came out. Just FYI.
-
Anyone else think so? like he could be Satan incarnate.
-
I detest Will Ferrell and have no interest in Steve Carrell. I love Flight Of The Conchords and Eagle Vs. Shark. I also really like Seth Rogen movies. Am I merely half retarded?
-
Every time I hear "Twitter", I'm reminded of Snoop Dogg's Original Girls Gone Wild special (mardi gras) where he tells an 18 year-old blonde, "Lemme see that pink tweetah".
-
Wow. Because anyone who isn't a giant fucking mongoloided retarded piece of shit actually went to see Paul Blart, right? I'd refuse to push back the release of Observe and Report on moral grounds alone. Also, someone up there mentioned Chow left because they want to make it a comedy. Huh? You mean one of the funniest comedy directors in the world left because the studio wanted him to...direct...a comedy? Oh, and why did someone fucking utter the words Dane Cook? Thanks for ruining my day.
-
Not a rhetorical question.
-
had any integrity, he'd have bowed out
-
Isn't twitter just some gorified Instant Messenger? Am I missing something? What's the difference between Twitter and IM?
-
in like the last season or so, when kevin had a few other geeky friends. maybe he went by a diff name or something- but i swear i saw his chubby jew fro mug as a kid in the later season(s)
-
If this movie is going to be good, they have to get Kato right. Chow would have been great, but Cho is the right age given Rogen et al. Now, I hear you saying "but Cho can't do Kung Fu!" Well, no, although he probably learned some moves to play Sulu (who is an arms expert). But -- how about an inept Kato who can't do hand-to-hand worth a damn and shoots people? I say yes.
-
you fucking losers..
-
It's because he's mainstream, and anything mainstream is automatically canon fodder for the nerds/geeks/dweebs of the internet. They don't even bother to realize he's probably a far great geek then they are, only that that he had the where with all to make something of it. So far, every comedy he's ever headlined or had a significant role in has been both critically received and made a shit load of money. And I'm willing to bet Green Hornet continues that trend.
-
...are holding Green Hornet up on the same pedestal that other superheroes are on. It was a campy television show when it was on, and guess what? A campy movie would do it justice.
-
Rogen was NOT in the Wonder Years. I want some of what you're smoking.
-
I think he's a generational comedy star that perfectly reflects a certain type that is prevalent today. It's why people respond to him. Everyone knows a "seth rogen type" in their lives and Seth seems to represent them all quite well. He's intelligent and funny. He's not Bill Murray, but who is. The one I don't understand is Jonah Hill. I think he's actually talentless. He has a very unlikable screen presence. If Seth Rogen was young enough to play Seth in Superbad, it would have been a much better movie with him in the role vs. Jonah. I'm sure Jonah is as funny a fuck as you will find when you're hanging out with him with a group of guys. His screen presence is awful. I'm glad a guy like Segal is getting his chance to step out. As for Seth, you may claim that you hate him and that's fine and all, but the guy is good at what he is doing. I think a lot of the reactions he garners in here are jealousy. Seth is way better at comedy than Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. Be happy we have Seth instead of those two self centered morons in most comedies these days.

Actually Twitter is the most narcicisstic thing ever created.
by obese_wan_kenobi
You basically just post random things about what you're doing all day, and expect people to care about your mundane life. It's pointless, yet in a strange way therapeutic.
-
than Seth Rogen.
Though I do feel that Rogen can only play one part. That of himself.
-
I mean he has the depth of a slice of Kraft cheese so maybe this will help him along to being in less movies...
-
that directors can get typecast also.

Seth isn't even in the same league with Michael Keaton
by chuck_chuckwalla
How's he going to pull off playing a Superhero when he has none of the attributes. At least you could believe Michael Keaton would be angry and insane enough to put on a bat-suit. I'm sure the movie will be played for laughs but I'm not interested, I don't want another Hancock. Dark Knight and Watchmen elevated the superhero genre beyond the usual bullshit and now we get this piece of shit. Fuck superhero comedies.
-
he's ugly but he's fucking talented, rich, young, smart, a decent writer and allright actor, and he always writes himself getting to be with women outside his physical league. also you know he just smokes a lot of weed and writes and plays xbox all day.
-
Here comes the Apocalypse......
-
looking. ha. now that's comedy. but seriously he is a funny character actor. but not funny enough for me to care. a better choice would be danny mcbride as the green hornet.

They Are Being Disrespectful To The Memory Of Bruce Lee
by media messiah
This comedy garbage being added to the movie is a direct and personal affront to master Lee's work, and legend therein, as a martial artist. Therefore, I will not pay to see this movie.
-
Oh, we've moved onto Seth Rogen? My mistake. Moving on.
-
with clooney as GH and Jet li as kato, now we're talking
-
He's amusing and couldn't be a nicer guy. Sorry all you dudes are burnt out on him, but that's no reason to puke all your bile on the poor guy. Grow up.
-
But I don't give a shit about Green Hornet. I'd rather see that serious version of it then a campy comedy.
-

Okay guys, have you ever picked up issue 37 of a comic book? Watched an episode of a show that you had never seen? Watch part 3 of a series without realizing it and it blew your mind?
There's a lot to be said for quality entertainment. I can hand someone an issue of Ex Machina or DMZ and not worry that they won't get it. Why? Because the characters are so strong and so interesting, that it doesn't matter how they ended up where they are. It doesn't even matter where they're headed. ALl that matters is who they are and what they'll do next. THAT'S story.
You know why people jumped head first into Star Wars? You know why people loved X-Files for as long as they did? DO you know why people love Raiders of the Lost Ark? Character. Character and story.
Mulder and Scully were interesting in every single episode of X-Files, mythology or stand-alone. Star Wars began in media res, which no movie ever really done except old Kurosawa flicks which assumed you knew your feudal Japan history. No catch-up session, no prequel comic, no blue pages, none of that shit.
Indiana Jones had an entire television series worth of character development that we didn't even know about, but just looking at the guy, you could tell he'd been around.
So, boo to the origin story. Boo to telling audiences about the birth of a character, and its world, when its least interesting aspect is its birth. So, no opening credits. Hell, while we're at it, no company logos! The first thing I want to see is Kato throwing a punch.
I want a charge in Tom Cruise's head. I want Superman to have a bloody nose. I want the Joker to pull off a bank heist. I want Riggs and Murtaugh in pursuit of South Africans and krugerrands, right off the bat.
Just start the damn movie. -
Orgins are sort of crutches too, like 'how can we fill 3/4 of this film before writing original content?'
-
Cold Openings always work well in both tv and movies. No one wants to sit through a 3 minute credit sequence.
-
Holy shit though! "The Science of Sleep" sucked ass, hard. I have never made it like at least a quarter of the way through the film. Luckily, Green Hornet carries no baggage like Superman or The Hulk. Mainly because even the tv series didn't do all that well. Other than launching Bruce Lee as Kato, the show sucked balls.
Now, with this being said: AS A WRITER OR DIRECTOR, YOU CAN TAKE THE SPARSE SOURCE MATERIEL THAT "THE GREEN HORNET" IS........AND (dramatic inhale)... SHAPE THE FILM INTO WHATEVER YOU LIKE. Now the reason for the caps? Hopefully "Hollywood" insiders read this and we can collectively make them more money and get their asses laid.
If you want the film to be campy, comedic, serious, brooding? Whatever you like.
Michel Gondry might not be "the" GO TO GUY, to shape your "Hot new summer franchise,tent pole,cashcow" to milk dry for years to come. I mean, "WASN'T GET SMART AMAZING"?! THEY SHOULD GET PETER SEGAL, BECAUSE GET SMART WAS AMAZING! I BOUGHT A BLU-RAY PLAYER, JUST FOR "GET SMART". "GET SMART" WAS SO GOOD, WHAT A GOOD IDEA. WOW!
Fuck it, I'm letting this shit rip.
Seth Rogan's golden box-office touch shall be tested by Observe and Report. I'm sure it's better than "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", BUT, the masses will not flock to an HARD R comedy. I mean unless that Judd Apatow's (saw his name as an associate producer on tv's "The Critic" just last night) people aren't involved. Is it legal to make a comedy that does not involve either the former cast of "The State" or Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill and the dude who loves showing his dick.
Look, Ain't it cool News needs a little bit of edge. I'm here, drop me a line. The rest of you whom can't wait....www.myspace.com/jerryhorror
Oh and...I BOUGHT A BLU-RAY PLAYER AND A 15 SPEAKER ULTRA SHOCK SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM, (even though I'm collecting unemployment and haven't paid rent yet) JUST SO I COULD EXPERIENCE "THE SPIRIT" THE WAY WILL EIS....er, FRANK MILLER INTENDED IT TO BE. Seriously though, whomever let's Frank Miller near a camera, should be drug into the street and shot.
HEY MA! LOOK WHAT ROBBY TAUGHT ME!! Suck a dick. -

by mr. lahey
Just read that sentence a few times.
-
If the studios are reading this or Rogen or any of his minions, consider the responses and smell the utter lack of interest in this project. Rogen, you're over exposed as is. Give it a rest and let this project die a quiet death. Nobody wants a green hornet movie - 90% of your audience doesn't know who the green hornet is.
-
THAT'S the movie I want to see.
-
may as well what with the calibre of the lead
-
"I don't care"
-
Just zero star power.

jonah hill as the green hornet would be hilarious
by kenny_fuckin_powers
he could be like out of breath just having to get out of bed.
and demetri martin... fucking grow the fuck up you twee whimsical deadpan dude wearing the clothes of a 12 year old gifted student in the 80s. GROW THE FUCK UP. Seriously. You look like a fucking pederast with bay city rollers hairdo.
And Flight of the Conchords? They can go fuck themselves. They're like Tenacious D after being neutered and put the precocious whimsicalizer.
I can't wait for some of you fuckers to grow pubes and realize that family guy is about as funny as the open festering polodonial cyst rush limbaugh has at the end of his tail bone. no really, he does. -
things he is saying to jonah hill
@JonahHill you look like mimi from the drew carey show
3:19 AM Mar 22nd from web in reply to JonahHill
@JonahHill you look like Jason Giambi's retarded brother
3:08 AM Mar 22nd from web in reply to JonahHill
@JonahHill you look like a young danny fucking devito
-
It's been enjoyable NOT having your lecherous presence lurking these boards during the daytime. Your O.D. post was a nice reminder of the substanceless posts I've been missing.
-
The Green Hornet was almost his first Hollywood flick, had a script ready to go and everything before the studio shelved it.
-
FUCK OFF.
-
they're completly out of touch with their target audience
-
.. says the guy posting his opinions on AICN. Gotta run, I have some IRONYing to do.
-
everything this jewish "gang" puts out! Everything and everyone that's associated w/ them. This site is vomit inducing when it comes to anything QT, Rodriguez, Del Toro, dude from Lord of Rings and JJ Star Trek guy. And recently Jude Apatow and co. Everything they do gets extensive coverage on this site. Hell, these jews can do no wrong in their eyes. I even heard one of the contributors compare Apatow to Johnny Hughes. If that doesn't show how they're being paid off and are sellouts to cash I don't know what will. John Hughes told stories of teenage life for real teenagers. Time after time. Nowadays, it's not the case w/ Apatow and his cronies. But back to Rogen: he's not funny nor appealing in the slightest. Good actor? Charismatic? Great timing? He's got none of those things. And to think he's the go to guy presently. It's like w/ those high schoool musical dopes. They have no talent either or the kids on the vampire movie that had every twelve yr old girl going apeshit since Titanic. None of those people have any range to speak of.
-
Because with Rogen as Green Hornet we wouldn't want to mess up the perfect casting so far...
-
Here are some ideas. I'm sure some competent writers could come up with something like this if not a hell of a lot better: They could have set the story back in the 4Os if they wanted to maintain the master and servant aspect. They could have then played with racism in the plot, perhaps having Britt Reid pretend he has racial prejudices to add to his cover. He could have lived in Hong Kong as a youth and was always surrounded by Asian servants, and continues to have them as servants in the U.S. But sees them only as that. In reality, however, while he was in Hong Kong he acquired a love and respect for Chinese culture and met his life long fiend Kato. Then have the Green Hornet and Kato work as equals.
-
life long friend, not fiend, friend
-
find him talented in any way. I want to see a Dark Knightish Green Hornet, very noir, maybe even set in the '30s or '40s. But not Rogaine boy mugging his way through a parody. Excuse me while I puke up the thought.
-
Is Jonah Hill. I mean when was the last time any comedian that got as big as Seth had a replacement that he kept that close. I mean if Rogan died tomorrow we wouldn't miss a beat, I mean sure Hill's got a couple more pounds to lose. But shit Seth sure as shit took his time losing the weight.

pretty much the only thing I was glad to read was that Eastbound and Down is likely coming back. Saw the season finale tonight. Love the series so far. Fucking funny as hell. Danny McBride is insane.
-
find it necessary to PISS and MOAN about him. Fuck off, you babies. "HE HAZ NO STAR POWER!!!"
-
I agree with you. They should have chosen to make a Green Hornet movie incorporating the realism of Nolan's Batman movies. The Green Hornet character has the same elements that can be easily translated into a realistic interpretation. Hopefully, there will be a reboot in a few years.
-
This film will be a joke. Is it too late to hire the Stunt guys from France who put together that spectacular "Le Frelon Vert" fanfilm several years ago??? THAT'S how The Green Hornet should be done!If you haven't checked it out, Google it...
-
Every time I've seen Rogen in a film I've just sat in stunned silence at the utter lack of onscreen comedy. I do not understand the appeal. Seth Rogen is the Paul Rodriguez of the new millennium.

get a life you fucking waste of space...go cry in the corner

howzabout, you realize that the only reason you hate this funny motherfucker that you'd, no doubt, enjoy the hell out of hanging with, is because you are insanely jealous that the guy happened to parlay his talent of being "the guy that people would like to hang out with" into ass-loads of money and the ability to turn his ideas into crowd (yourselves included)-pleasing movies that make people enjoy life momentarily in this shitty fucking society we live in. grow the fuck up, and stop living in talk-backs specifically to be hateful to people that (in reality) bring you some semblance of joy in life. you know goddamned well you've gone to see movies he's in and enjoyed them. fuckin' trolls.

...jason segal is also a talented actor/writer. i've enjoyed everything i've seen him in, beginning with freaks and geeks/SLC punk, so fuck you, let the flaming begin!!!

For the love of Jackie Chan's missing soul, don't do it Chow!

-
he'll be in a tidal wave of movies where he's basically the same character until the BO finally drops off.
Then there'll be another *next big comedic actor* they'll blugeon us to death with -
And I really don't I think he is funny and good at stupid one liners, is because of Knocked up. God what an unfunny movie, now I don't blame Seth for it sucked so bad I blame critics and movie folk for going gaga over him for that movie like he's never done anything before in his life. See I knew all about Freak and geeks and expected more from Knocked up. Just everyone went ON and ON about how funny it was. So I saw it and don't think I laughed, didn't really remember anything during it. It was like a lame rom com. But I liked Pineapple and Zach and Miri.

I'd love to see Chow do a crazy live action Ranma 1/2 film
by spifftacular squirrel girl
It did have the O.G. Kung Fu Panda afterall.
This movie is just interesting by fact of the people involved with it. Rogan, Chow, and Gondry working together on one movie is such a strange mishmash of styles that this could really go either way. -
For writing superbad. I haven't really liked his last two major released films though.
-
Script? Just very interested on what it's like.
-
Thank you!! You got it 100% right! GH and Kato should be portrayed as equal partners...and friends. Rogen is in this month's Playboy...sorry, but not even naked women can help me buy this guy as one of my all-time favorite superheroes...failcake piping hot out of the easy bake oven.
-
The Spirit and this will be it...
-
..is fucking great.
-
Although I haven't seen Eternal Sunshine..I HATED Be Kind Rewind....it was just un-funny. I hope he does change his style for this film....I really really wish Chow would've stayed in the directors chair
-
Please, don't insult Paul! LOL
-
In case anyone asks, just say he is. K? K.
-
Now any actor can get any part. Computers take care of all the effects. It's all digital film. No one on set is really inspired anymore. Movies get churned out now like they're on an assembly line.
-
I am not sure of the reason, is she really a single now? I heard Kevin has come back to her some days ago.
-
happened way before that ad in the movie trancers...never realised he made that commercial though. good stuff
-
is extremely funny you sad little twirp. u gimps will moan about anyone for the sake of it won't you?
-
You have zero talkback power. Now get Rogan's dick out of your mouth.
-
Now there is a movie that the whole world could benefit from in the dark times. Sho Nuff
-
And he's rich now, so he should use some of that money to get his teeth fixed! His teeth are hard to look at!
-
as long as you plug your ears
-
"My work (and working) computer has been off in the land beyond beyond being fixed by the Apple people". I'm sure these apple work next to a caramel river below blueberry skies.

Here's to hoping that they can maintain my (and your) interest.

Thats all I got from this.

As in with Dustin Diamond, better known as Screech. As his prodigal son on Earth, Screech failed in his mission of pandemonium and chaos. He got all uppity and self-centered and thought the whole show was about him and not Luckyfur.Now, ol' Luckyfur is at it again with a similar minion in the form of Seth Rogen. So all you fans and anti-fans be prepared, you've all been duped, and you've all been fooled. Seth Rogen is the anti-christ and he will eat your children and your dogs if you have any.So sayeth the word.
-
I HATE SETH ROGEN! WAAH! WAAH! Get back in your basements you choads. Some of us like Rogen. If you dont like him, dont read articles about him you fucks.
-
it's not that big of a deal that some people like Rogen and some don't...what I find super awesome is how you get called a tosspot if you like or don't like him by those who like or don't like him. So, what you're saying is you're not really allowed your own opinion without getting someone else's opinion on your opinion. So basically, reality is high school. AWESOME!And how many people told me...wait till you graduate and get out in the "real world". Hah! I knew it was all bullshit! The real world is high school! Political classes are just assholes in their smug little cliques pointing their grubby fingers in all directions except the one that counts.Rogen is a hack because he wore fake tattoos in the virgin movies. He's a funny guy and a good comedy writer but anyone who wears fake tattoos is just a duck eating bastard. Guy probably pours glue on birds and eats Nerf. Anybody who likes Rogen probably also like to munch on their dog's ass while watching Rosie ODonnel give a blow job to a transsexual who isn't even there.
-
Seth Sucks and the only people who go around referring to shit as being like High School, are the people who think shit is like High School. I never give two shits about high-school, nor does it enter my mind as a behavioral description.
-
i just think you're all sheep, and will jump on any bandwagon that comes along in a talkback. fuck, even if i DIDN'T like rogen, i would give it serious consideration after reading what you angry little wizard-lovers have been posting.
-
you said: "i like it in my ass." ---- now why would anyone admit to that? cheeez louizzzz kidding aside, ur right about one thing, that all talkbackers are turd-throwers and that im afraid has become part of AICN culture. having said that, i think seth is way over hes head.
-
although i don't even understand where the first part of your comment came from, as for the second part: see, here's my thing. i enjoy debate. i enjoy reading other people's WELL THOUGHT OUT opinions, but, yes, lately it appears that "turd-throwing" (kudos) has become the way of the talkback. and once one monkey starts it, the whole cage is gonna join in!
-
Don't hate or love him. His movies are alright. The only issue I have is his range of acting. He plays the same character in each movie.
-
Ever since Airwolf went off the air I'm the fuckin televisual messiah that America needs. But I expect to be hated and then revered once I have long passed onto the other side. For genius is not revered until it is gone. Just like big hairy bushes, now they are gone, i miss them. And never forget, you were all the chinks in my armor. Never forget. You are all my chinks!
-
Cause even though I was just making some stupid, there is no such thing as adulthood. A total myth. Perhaps you weren't paying attention since you say you didn't "give two shits" about HS.But my point is that the longer I live, the more it looks like 95% of the people are children in adult bodies. They talk like adults but when I attempt to deduce the reasons for some of their more annoying behavior, the one thing that makes perfect sense is the petulance and narcissism of a child (except it's expected in children of course).That said, I'm not a fan of Rogen (standing around and making the exact same face that's on the dvd cover does not constitute even comedic acting) but I find it funny that if I like him, people like you think I suck and if I don't like him, people like you think I suck. And yet you say this isn't high school. Have you even been on AICN long?
-
...in a MOVIE??
No. he would be a hack if he wore fake tattoos in real life. Movies are all about make believe.
At least give a respectable reason as to why you don't like him...that was just dumb. -
Bzzzzzzz....hook line and sinker? Smell the smellin salts! PEANUTS. Come on mang! I'm not even tryin! It's like farting in an elevator around here today. Sitting ducks? Jee Eez! Unless of course people seek contention? That would be awesome!
-
as entertaining as a bowl of cooling oatmeal
-
I agree, weirdest reason to hate a guy I've read in a while.
There are plenty of REAL reasons to dismiss Seth Rogen. Yours is merely entertaining. You may as well have a vendetta against anyone named "Seth." -
Does anyone remember when the Green Hornet
-
Anyone with a first name Seth needs to be placed in mass ditches and shot in the back of their head.

It's called SARCASM for Christ's sake!!! As in I'm kidding?!! Heard of that? Facetiousness?I know you don't know me personally and maybe haven't even read any of my other posts but even the context is so absurd as to be obvious to most anyone willing to think or willing to look past their righteous anger at anyone bothering not to acknowledge your opinionated superiority.Doc, I know you're capable of more than just literal translations...I've seen your stuff in the political TB's and tho I don't always agree with you, you don't seem to be a moron. As for Omar, dude...2 posts above yours is my response to Doc about kidding. Reading comprehension much their boss?
-
yeah... decades after being the king of box office in all of asia. after shaolin soccer. after kungfu hustle. he's "perfect" for a sidekick in a stupid superhero movie?
he's TOO GOOD for such shit! fuck hollywood for treating overseas stars like garbage all the time. and chow should know better than to stoop this low. i know he thinks he's following in his hero's footstep. but he's already cemented his star status in moviedom. no need to pander to hollywood shit. -
seth rogen is such a lousy comic and bad actor it boggles my mind that he's now considered a bonafide star. and his skit on the oscar maybe the unfunniest thing i've seen on tv. pairing him up with CHOW? yeah, good thinking dumbass!!!

So they hire Gondry and tell him not to be Gondry?

that makes perfect fucking Hollywood sense.
