Seth Rogen Gossip

This summer has seen a greater than ever divide between the haves (Disney) and the have nots (everyone else) at the box office, but Good Boys opened over the weekend with $21 million, making it only the third original movie to top the box office THIS YEAR (yikes on bikes crashing into a guardrail), and providing another hit for Universal. Full Story

Jon Favreau’s remake of The Lion King, using photo-realistic computer animation techniques, is stunning. It is stunning to look at. The Serengeti looks real, as detailed and gorgeous as the best nature documentary. The animals are stunning, as tangible as any creature in a National Geographic photograph. Full Story

Seth Rogen was on Jimmy Kimmel the other night to promote The Lion King. Sarah went to an advance screening yesterday and I haven’t heard from her since. I wonder if she’s keeping me in suspense or if it was just not worth reacting to. Sarah is not as excited about the shot-for-shot live action remakes as others. Full Story

If you weren’t talking about Us at SXSW, chances are you were talking about the surprise Boyz II Men sing-a-long and dance party with Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen following the world premiere of Long Shot on Saturday Full Story

Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron made a movie with the unlikely working title “Flarsky”. The movie was known to be a comedy, but the title was so WTF everyone sort of wondered if Rogen and his creative partner, Evan Goldberg, had maybe pushed things too far. Turns out: No. Retitled The Long Shot, the movie tested incredibly well—so well, it was pushed from a February death-date to prime summer real estate in June 2019. Full Story

I’ll never forget the first time I saw The Room, arguably the worst movie ever made. (It’s up against Manos: The Hands of Fate, a spectacularly bad movie.) I was in college and a friend was talking about this terrible movie playing at a theater in Fairfax, going on and on about how bad it was. Full Story
