This clip comes from Judd Apatow answers your questions live on “Funny or Die” (that happened yesterday). There’s not a lot to it, but the question, which isn’t set up, is about sequels and presumably whether he’d consider one. For “Superbad 2,” he says it’s not happening (despite him trying to convince Seth Rogen and Evan Golderberg, but he sounds like he’s joking… hopefully), but gives off a tiny whiff of hope for those that care to see a “Pineapple Express 2” film.
“There’s a little talk about a ‘Pineapple Express’ sequel if that’s your cup of tea… your bowl of smoke. You probably have a better chance of seeing that [then any ‘Superbad 2’ or any other Apatow film],” he said. Why? Presumably because ‘Pineapple’ the original was not that good and they think they could do better. Or at least, that’s our hope, as we can’t see any other logical reason why they would need one.
Apatow also talks about “Get Him To The Greek” and calls it a “sideways sequel,” as it is a spin-off of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” featuring the Russell Brand rock-star character. “It’s kind of like my favorite year on heroin.” It stars Jonah Hill and P.Diddy and is out June 11, 2010 (Jarvis Cocker is writing the score).
