Welcome to the summer of Seth Rogen… or so it seems. You can barely turn around without bumping into one of his projects: this weekend alone, you’ll have “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” and “Preacher ” to choose from. But it seems he’s saving his filthiest offering for later in the summer.
“Sausage Party” sees Rogen, along with Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, James Franco, Michael Cera, Edward Norton, Bill Hader and Salma Hayek voicing an incredibly raunchy comedy about food items in a grocery store who learn the grim fate of what happens when they leave the store. Seriously, that’s the premise, and it’s a pretty clever one. Here’s the official synopsis:
Life is good for all the food items that occupy the shelves at the local supermarket. Frank (Seth Rogen) the sausage, Brenda (Kristen Wiig) the hot dog bun, Teresa Taco and Sammy Bagel Jr. (Edward Norton) can’t wait to go home with a happy customer. Soon, their world comes crashing down as poor Frank learns the horrifying truth that he will eventually become a meal. After warning his pals about their similar fate, the panicked perishables devise a plan to escape from their human enemies.
“Sausage Party” gets unwrapped on August 12th. Watch the new trailer above.
