Seth Rogen's mom once emailed a studio head to help him get a movie greenlit.
Seth Rogen shares the story of the time his mom emailed a major studio head in order to help him get a movie made. Now one of the most recognizable and beloved comedy actors, writers, and producers in the world, Rogen first got his start by appearing in the 2007 Judd Apatow movie Knocked Up. The actor has since appeared in a number of hits, including Superbad, Pineapple Express, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Neighbors, The Interview, and Long Shot.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Rogen reveals that his mother recently tried to help him turn a script into a movie by emailing the head of a major studio. Rogen worked on the project with Evan Goldberg, his longtime collaborator on movies like Superbad, The Interview, This Is The End, The Night Before, Sausage Party, and several others, but doesn’t reveal any other details about the script in question.
“My mother I guess had the email. She asked me what I’m doing and I had been writing a movie with my partner, Evan [Goldberg], for years. She read the script and she really liked it, and we kept not hearing if they were going to make it. And then she called me one day and she’s like, ‘Somehow I have the email of the head of the studio. I’m going to email him to tell him to make your movie.’ And I was like, ‘Okay, go for it.’ Honestly, like, I’ve always heard nepotism is a big thing in Hollywood.
Comedy movies started to see a significant downturn in box office performance, with most movies in the genre now relegated to streaming. Even Apatow, previously a solid bet when it came to big studio comedies, turned to Netflix to get his most recent directorial project, The Bubble, made.
It remains to be seen whether Rogen will have any luck with his unmade script, but it's not unusual in Hollywood for some projects to gestate for years before eventually being picked up as market forces and consumer trends change. For now, however, the actor continues to have a busy schedule lined up for the future, with the likes of a Sausage Party sequel, Kung Fu Panda 4, Mufasa: The Lion King, and his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot all expected to release in the next few years.
