Yearbook: Seth Rogen

Product Information

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg talk making movies their way, and how life blew up after the Sony hacks". Rogen and his longtime friend and collaborator Evan Goldberg launched the cannabis company Houseplant in Canada in 2019. Rogen and Goldberg, intrigued by the idea that TV reporters sometimes get to interview some of the worst people on the planet, wrote a script that saw a clueless TV personality bag an interview with a Kim Jong-un-type dictator and subsequently agrees to assassinate him for the CIA, sensing an opportunity for even greater adulation than the interview itself. He covers a lot of topics in his book from his own life, including his grandparents, doing stand-up when he was only a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and the Jewish summer camp that he attended.

It began when the pandemic did and has seen the likes of James L Brooks talk about his film Terms Of Endearment, Nancy Meyers fielding questions about The Holiday, Amy Heckerling discuss Clueless, Charlize Theron logging on to chat about Monster and even Keanu Reeves arriving virtually to tell them all they wanted to know about The Matrix. After Apatow insisted that he would work better in real-life situations, the two agreed on the accidental pregnancy concept of this production. They are putting their definitive stamp on the modern American comedy one decency-smashing double entendre at a time.Sony greenlit it instantly, with only two conditions: one, Franco had to play the TV personality (easy); and two, they should make it about the actual Kim Jong-un (sure).
