Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of Seth Rogen. In fact, his upcoming collaboration with Kevin Smith in Zack and Miri Make a Porno is certainly toward the top of my must-see Fall movies list. But I will be damned if Seth doesn’t do a lot of talking about his upcoming projects.

Assuming that people hyped up about The Pineapple Express have jobs, and that those jobs don’t include eating Doritos and playing Gears of War, the movie has given us something new to keep us from getting those TPS reports filled out.

Today we get our first listen of the Pineapple Express theme song written and performed by Huey Lewis. And yes, it absolutely lives up to the hype.

Seth Rogen promises a lot of things. He promised he’d call, he promised me a rose garden, and now, he’s promising all of us that he’ll be out in full force with a screening of Pineapple Express when Comic-Con rolls back to San Diego this July.

Every year we go through it: What are your most anticipated movies of summer? Which movies will make the most money? What will be the biggest flop? I can’t even begin to think of the infinite variations that we’ve seen of the pre-Summer movie lists. So this year, we are going to do something a little different, but not too far off the beaten path. We’ve set out to give you a guidebook to Summer Movie Season 2008: The 15 Movies that you should not miss, no matter what.

Recently, Neil Miller and I had a chance to interview director David Gordon Green while he was in town promoting his latest film Snow Angels. Soon, the conversation turned to the entropy of a Neil Miller discussion of film…. Michael Bay.

Director David Gordon Green sat down with us to talk about Snow Angels, his Sundance ‘07 hit that is finally getting its theatrical release this weekend. Not only did we discover the lighter side of Snow Angels, but we also got to prod Green about his next film, Pineapple Express.

Generally, stoner comedies can be characterized by their inaction, or the lack of motivation that their characters have once they have smoked up all the green. But Pineapple Express seems to be more about getting some action, making it the first stoner action comedy — at least as far as I can recall this early in the morning.

The early trailers featured the infectious jam “Paper Planes”, the theme song is being composed by the legendary Huey Lewis and now we learn that Bone Thugs, Shaquille O’Neal and other 80s favs will be on the Pineapple Express soundtrack. This is amazing!

David Gordon Green’s upcoming stoner comedy gets a green-band trailer that looks just like the red-band one, just without the cursing.

Two funny dudes and his wife are the primary cast in Judd Apatow’s return to the director’s chair following Knocked Up.

Could David Gordon Green be that man to inject new life into the Dario Argento classic?

Zack and Miri may not have their porno done yet, but we do have some details on a trailer.

Shia LaBeouf is at the point right now where he could do no wrong, and his films carry about the same odds of being a blockbuster as me never getting to bed Jessica Alba.

Judd Apatow’s next film gets a red-band trailer, that has been subsequently leaked online. Take a look!

We just can’t get enough of all things Apatow these days…

Yesterday we got our first look at The Pineapple Express with a picture. Today we have a video.
