#53. The Pineapple Express
Director:David Gordon Green
Writers: Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg from Superbad
Producers: Judd Apatow and Shauna Robertson
Distributor: Columbia Pictures
The Gist: Scripted by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, on their way to
becoming self-actualized adults, a duo of delinquent dudes find themselves
stymied by unfortunate habits. But when stuck-in-neutral process server Dale
Denton (Rogen) inadvertently witnesses a drug-related murder, he and his bug
Saul (Franco) find that sometimes the motivation you need to make something of
your life is a mob of fugitives hunting you down.
Fact: Joining forces with the Judd Apatow, this is David Gordon Green’s first ever studio film and among one of two releases this year. Snow Angels is the other.
See It: Hardcord DGG fans like myself are looking forward to the filmmaker branching off into new territory.
Release Date/Status?: August 8th release date pegged – in the same strategic line as last year’s Superbad.
