Seems like the actual apocalypse might take place before Jay and Seth can ever get to it.
Jay Baruchel recently spoke to MTV at WonderCon regarding the long in stasis “Jay & Seth Vs. The Apocalypse” co-starring Seth Rogen and to be eventually penned by Rogen and writing partner Evan Goldberg.
“It’s a good problem to have, when [co-star Rogen] and I are too busy to find the time,” Baruchel said. “It’s high on the triage list. It’s something that’ll get done very soon.”
“They’re in the process of writing it right now. My prediction would be sometime in the next year and a half it’ll at least get going… He and I are too busy. And Evan, [Rogen’s] writing partner, he and I wrote something called ‘The Goon,’ a hockey movie which we’re trying to get going at some point this year. So there’s just a lot happening.”
Despite being first announced nearly two years ago, Baruchel has continually just reiterated old sentiments regarding the film’s prospects with the latest quotes almost verbatim to the one gave in June of ’09. We’re wouldn’t be surprised if it still hasn’t progressed past a collection of ideas on a pizza box at this stage.
Baruchel has kind of blown up since then as well with his slate filled with the likes of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” “She’s Out Of My League” and “How To Train Your Dragon.” On top of that, the actor is also harboring his own writing and directorial ambitions with the hockey film “The Goon” and slasher pic “Pigs” and sounds much more enthused about those than he ever was about “Jay & Seth.”
We just don’t see this happening at all and, frankly, we’re more than happy to leave it as a mildly amusing Youtube clip. – B.T. Webster
