Actor and comedian Seth Rogan has been the center of attention in the entertainment industry with movies like “Knocked Up”, “Pineapple Express” and “Superbad”. But now the funnyman is trying on a whole new role- that of director. Having previously worked as a screenwriter for some of his better known films, Rogan feels prepared to take his creativity to the next stage in his career. Collaborating with Rogan for this screenplay is Evan Goldberg who is also co-directing the project. Goldberg is also credited as a writer for many other Rogan projects, including “The Green Hornet”, “Superbad”, and “Pineapple Express”. Joining this talented behind-the-scenes duo are actors Jonah Hill, James Franco, as well as actor-turned writer- turned producer- turned director- turned actor Seth Rogan. Most of these actors will be playing versions of themselves in the movie, which is set in a post-apocalyptic world. In this movie, the characters are barricaded in a house after the end of the world has occurred. Over the course of the movie the friends realize how little they like each other, as close-quarters turns into torture- not to mention hilarity! The movie will begin filming here in New Orleans this April in preparation for its 2013 release.
