Seth Rogen Updates Us On Observe And Report, Funny People, And The Green Hornet

Collider talked recently with Seth Rogen about some of his upcoming projects. The biggest news comes about Observe And Report. The film, written and directed by Foot Fist Way's Jody Hill, centers around a mall security cop who "wages war on the cops." Apparently, the comedy is so outlandish and potentially offensive that there were concerns that the studio would completely neuter the movie. Warner Bros. has kept a pretty tight seal on this one, but it looks like the test screenings of the uncut version are actually performing better than the edited version, so it's looking like we'll be getting the completely un-neutered version of the movie. He also talks a bit about the upcoming Judd Apatow-directed Funny People, in which he stars with Adam Sandler and Leslie Mann, and how it was working with acclaimed cinematographer Janusz Kaminski (Spielberg's DP). He also says to expect a few cameos from notable stand-up comedians. Lastly, he mentions a bit about The Green Hornet, and how the collaboration with Stephen Chow has been going well despite some understandable language barriers. If things go Rogen's way, he'll have some footage to show at next year's Comic-Con.
