10 Questions for Seth Rogen

August 13, 2008

Are you a stoner in real life or just in the movies? Adam Odsess-Rubin BERKELEY, CALIF.

The guy from Berkeley asked that? That’s a shock. Yeah, I smoke pot. Not to the extent that my characters do, just because I have jobs and my characters often don’t.

Your movie is an action stoner flick. Isn’t that an oxymoron? Marnix Weber, WASHINGTON

I guess it is. That’s kind of the joke of it. Who are the last guys in the world that would function well in an action-movie-type situation? The answer is potheads. I’ve definitely spent large periods of my life where I’ve done absolutely nothing but smoke weed, so it was during those periods where we thought, If someone was trying to murder us, that would be pretty entertaining–until they killed us.

If you weren’t a comedian, what would you be? Tanuj Pandey NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J.

Oh, man, I don’t think I could do anything else. I’d probably be a crackhead, maybe a drug dealer or seller of bootleg movies–something like that. Something easy and illegal. I started doing stand-up when I was around 13 years old, so this is all I’ve ever really wanted to do.

You’re going to play the Green Hornet. What makes you qualified to play a superhero? Claudio Paone, BOSTON

Well, he’s not a superhero. He has no superpowers–he’s just a master crime fighter. But what makes me qualified to play one? I don’t know. I’ve acted in movies before. I am an actor. I guess that instantly makes me qualified. I read a lot of comic books, so I think that helps. Man, Claudio really has an attitude problem.

Do you ever think about acting in serious roles? Mary Muhlenfeld NAPERVILLE, ILL.

Yeah. I mean, I don’t sit around and think about it for large periods of time, but I would do it. I don’t really go to that many serious movies. And my only rule is, Is the role something I would go see? Often I’ll read a script and say, That’s a great movie, tons of people will go see that, but I never would in a million years.

Much of your comedy is based on the geek subculture. Are you still a geek, or have you grown out of it? Misha Bawa, VANCOUVER

I was at Comic-Con for hours. If anything, I’ve made more money, and it’s allowed me to really indulge in my geeky side in a way I never thought I’d be able to. I buy comic books and toys and figurines and statues–all that stuff.

Are there any plans for a Freaks and Geeks movie? Darrell Surhigh SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ.

I can’t imagine how many people would be interested in seeing it, to be perfectly honest. There is a real subculture of people who like it, but if it was really that popular, it wouldn’t have gotten canceled in the first place. It would probably suck, I imagine.

Where do you get inspiration for the films you write? Frederick Do RIVERSIDE, CALIF.

Obviously, people draw from things that happen to them in life. But when [writing partner] Evan Goldberg and I write, we always think about what would we want to see when we go see movies.

Who is your fashion idol? Jecca Galeas, HOUSTON

My girlfriend dresses nice, so she’s my fashion idol. If she really hates something I’m wearing, she’ll be very vocal about it. My weight fluctuates, and I’ll try to hang on to clothes that probably aren’t right for whatever weight I’m at. She’ll be very quick to point that out.

Has your success changed what a leading man can look like in films? Michael Tedder NEW YORK CITY

John Candy was the lead in a lot of movies. I mean, there’s been much fatter, uglier people than me who’ve done this. So I’d say no, not necessarily. That being said, I’ve noticed a lot more guys who kind of look like me out in the world. Like, there’s more slightly heavyset Jewish guys who have dark glasses and let their hair grow out a little bit. Me and Jonah Hill have started that trend. (From Time Magazine)

Directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Frank Marshall, with George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy as executive producers, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the newest adventure in the phenomenally successful INDIANA JONES series, which has earned six Academy Awards and over $2 billion worldwide.

Set in 1957, the film stars Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Shia LaBeouf, Ray Winstone and John Hurt, following Indy on a perilous adventure to find the coveted Crystal Skull of Akator. From the ivy-covered halls of Marshall College to the verdant jungles of South America, Indy is relentlessly pursued by sinister Soviet agents who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the eerie object of fascination.

Green Lantern Script Details

August 13, 2008

The story follows the traditional Hal Jordan/Green Lantern story lines to a certain degree including the battle between Legion and Abin Sur, Abin Sur’s crash landing on Earth, as well as the choosing of Hal Jordan over Guy Gardner and Clark Kent.

Parts are straight out of the Emerald Dawn series including Jordan’s simulator being ripped out of the training center and flown to a dying Abin Sur and Hal Jordan going to Oa to help defeat Legion.

The major difference is in the Sinestro character arch. I don’t want to give too much away but the writers were very careful to stay true to the character without blowing their load on the first film.

The other difference is also introducing Hector Hammond into the story line and making him the big threat to Earth or Gaia if you prefer.

The New Faces of LOST

August 13, 2008

Production on Lost’s fifth season gets underway in 12 days, so that can only mean one thing: Fresh intel is starting to pour in!

Sources confirm that Team Darlton is looking to introduce two new characters this season – and they’re both as mysterious as they are lethal. They’re also coming in as recurring players with an option to become series regulars in season 6.

First up is Caesar, a dangerous, physical and extremely intelligent male between the ages of 35 and 45. Although his intentions are unclear, this much is certain: He’s as skillful at charming people as he is at killing them. He also has a dark past, but, c’mon, that much was a given.

The other newbie is Ilanna, a European female in her late 20s to early 30s who possesses great intelligence, but who’s also dangerous as all get out. She’s alluring and apparently used to getting her own way. (From Entertainment Weekly)
