The hottest man-comedy on the planet right now, Seth Rogen, is teaming up with legendary cult director Kevin Smith for Kev’s next movie
Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
Joining Rogen will be Elisabeth Banks, who proved herself with great comic turns in
The 40 Year Old Virgin and
Slither.
Whether or not you’re a fan of Kevin Smith’s movies, this is really intriguing news. The two biggest comedy geeks in film crossing paths on one project...
Casting is never an easy process at the best of times and Smith has written a great piece on his blog (
silentbobspeaks.com) about how stressful it was to see Rogen turn into a huge star over the summer, knowing it made the actor less and less likely to make the picture he wrote for him a year earlier. (At one point Smith was in a near fetal position moaning “If Seth Rogen doesn’t do this flick, I’m gonna make a real porno.”) If you're a fan of either of them, go and give it a read.
