Seth Rogen is in the business of making comedy films and TV series. Plain and simple.

According to Seth Rogen, the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is making it tougher to launch big-screen comedies.

Marvel comedic blockbusters is making it harder for mid-level comedy films to survive.In a new interview with GamesRadar, Rogen says that the huge budgets of big Marvel films, which often lean into comedy territory, can’t be competed with.“Something that me and Evan [Goldberg, screenwriter and Rogen’s long-term collaborator] talk about a lot is how Marvel movies are comedies,” he said. “Thor: Ragnarok is a comedy. Ant-Man is a comedy at its core.

Judd Apatow, Jonah Hill and James Franco to ride a new wave of big-hearted, bad-mouthed slacker movies throughout the 00’s and 10’s. Side-stepping into drama, kids’ animation and big-budget superhero franchises, Rogen is one of Hollywood’s most unassuming leads – the only guy who could do voices in Sausage Party and Kung Fu Panda 3 in the same year.

There’s a charming weirdness at the core of An American Pickle, the latest Seth Rogen star vehicle. It’s a movie that sounds like it could be either amazing or terrible, depending on the execution.

Seth Rogen spent 10 months growing out his beard just to shoot one additional scene for his new movie An American Pickle.The Pineapple Express star takes on double duty in the film, which is based on 2013 New Yorker novella Sell Out, about 1920s factory worker Herschel Greenbaum, who falls into a vat of pickles and is brined for 100 years, only to emerge in his great-grandson’s modern-day New York without having aged a day.Rogen grew out his facial hair to play Herschel first and then went

TEL AVIV, Israel -- It began as a lighthearted conversation between two Jewish comedians, riffing on a podcast about the idiosyncrasies of their shared heritage. But after talk turned to Israel, it didn't take long for Marc Maron and Seth Rogen to spark an uproar.

Seth Rogen says the invisible work of two different people helped him pull off his performance in HBO Max's An American Pickle. Appearing virtually on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the actor revealed that during one table read, Ike Barinholtz played opposite him.

Seth Rogen has scripted and starred in any number of movies that have pulled inspiration from his life, but he says, the HBO Max time-travel farce adapted from a short story by Simon Rich, is perhaps the story he relates to most.The film stars Rogen as Herschel Greenbaum, a ditchdigger living in a fictional Eastern European country circa 1919.

The Interview.The film, which centres on a TV host and producer enlisted by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong-un, saw hackers infiltrate employees at Sony Pictures and release thousands of private company emails to the public in 2014.As a result the movie, which also starred James Franco, was released through streaming services such as Netflix instead of getting a standard wide cinema release in the US.Eventually being shown in selected cinemas, it was released in the UK in February 2015.Speaking

Judging by the films in development and what is constantly released, you would think that just about every Hollywood studio is obsessed with making sequels, reboots, and remakes of previously successful films and franchises. But apparently, that’s not the case with one hit comedy film, “Pineapple Express,” which never was given the chance at a sequel even with its all-star cast and devoted following.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle EditorReconnecting with his Jewish heritage was part of the creative process for Seth Rogen on his new comedy, “An American Pickle.” For one, the actor learned to speak Yiddish for the first time for the film.“I had heard [Yiddish] my whole life, but I did not know it,” Rogen said Tuesday during the film’s virtual premiere, in a 30-minute Q&A following the screening. “I did have to learn it, basically phonetically, for the movie.

The funniest part of “ An American Pickle ” isn’t even really in the movie. It’s a little scene in the middle of the credits in which Seth Rogen’s Herschel Greenbaum, a 1920s laborer who wakes up 100 years after falling into a vat of pickle juice, watches “Yentl” with his millennial great-grandson Ben Greenbaum (also Rogen).

Based on an utterly ridiculous premise—a man who is preserved in pickle juice for 100 years and comes out of his hibernation unscathed in modern-day Brooklyn—it’s kind of unbelievable that Seth Rogen’s “An American Pickle” is a film at all, and a movie that someone actually greenlit.
