Yeah, yeah, we’re not big fans of just posting posters for the sake of it, but these “Pineapple Express” posters are relatively subversive for a major film studio that’s arguably going to get marketed everywhere, no?
Or maybe we won’t see these posters on bus stops, subways or public places, we’ll see. Will they try and sell this as, “from the stoned creators of ‘Knocked-Up’ and ’40 Year Old Virgin’?” Seems unlikely. We digress.
In case you’ve been stoned in your parent’s basement all this time, “Pineapple Express” is an upcoming Judd Apatow comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco as two weed enthusiasts who go on the lam after they witness a murder by a crooked cop. [Videogum via Trailer Addict]
Apropos of nothing, we’re sure this is going to be a hit, but we’re sensing a backlash, not to Judd Apatow, but to Seth Rogen. It might be the way he comes across as slightly arrogant in recent interviews or it might be the recent choice in role (the Kevin Smith one being a particularly bad one), but we’ve got a hunch some of his work in the upcoming months without Apatow might fail. Or it just might be that this furry Canadian is getting on our nerves of late.
