A Pineapple Express / Superbad Crossover Movie?
/Film — ... This week our friends at MTV talked with Pineapple Express star James Franco, who told them it’s a real idea. But it gets even weirder. According to Franco, part of the idea for the “unprecedented crossover” is that it could be filmed by two directors, Greg Motolla and David Gordon Green, each directing half of the movie. Even Franco admits that it “doesn’t make sense at all, but could work.” I’m not sure the Directors Guild of America would allow it. ...

Pineapple Express/Superbad Crossover Movie!

Oh No They Didn't! — ... we’d want some action, so you know, somehow the kids get in trouble somehow and we have to get them out of it,” Franco mused. “And Seth plays characters in both movies, so somehow we’d have to kill one of them off.” And Franco’s character Saul? The drug dealing, pot smoking, hippie based at least in part on Brad Pitt’s performance in “True Romance”? “The thing about Saul is that I don’t really think he goes anywhere,” Franco laughed. “That’s his tragedy.” Source checked and didn't see it posted (but it is 6 days old, so I don't know) ...
