Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg Try Their Hands at Horror

I sat down with Evan Goldberg, one-half of the Seth and Evan writing team behind “Superbad,” “Pineapple Express,” and “The Green Hornet” and in between talking about his love for Wawa hoagies (“We went to Wawa’s and it blew my fucking mind!”) and Canadian heritage videos, I was able to eek a tiny bit of info out of him about “Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse.”
“It’s a horror movie but we’re not horror guys. We don’t really dig on that. It’s just the idea is so good. So it’s going to be like a suspense-horror-comedy,” Goldberg said.
When I asked what makes it horrific he was vague, at best.
“It’s not like the apocalypse like ‘2012.’ There’s things that hurt you. Running around. Not zombies. I’m not getting into that. We’re not doing zombies. But people, they’re getting hunted by shit.”
I tried to get more out of him: Satanic? Half-man, half-shark? But that was it. I am just thanking big baby Jesus that it’s not like “2012.”
Watch the trailer below and let me know what you think might be doing some man-eating.
