Next summer, the guys who brought you Superbad reunite for the action-comedy "Pineapple Express." Lazy stoner Dale Denton (Seth Rogen) has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (James Franco): to purchase weed, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express.

But when Dale becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole), he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the scene. Dale now has another reason to visit Saul: to find out if the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. And it is.

As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that they're not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. All aboard the Pineapple Express.

Exclusive Interview: Seth Rogen
Seth Rogen is right at his element in the thick of Comic Con. A comic book aficionado from way back, he is using the opportunities promoting both Pineapple Express and Zack and Miri Make a Porno, to walk the floors of San Diego's Convention Center...

Exclusive Interview: Judd Apatow
Judd Apatow, ex-stand up comedian, has finally found his niche as one of Hollywood's most successful producers of comedy films. Defined by their comic intensity and genuine warmth, Apatow is a comic force to be reckoned with...

- Seth Rogen told the April 25 issue of Rolling Stone that he originally wanted a budget of $40 million but was only able to secure $25 million due to the drug-heavy subject matter.

- Seth Rogen originally wrote the part of Saul Silver for himself to play, it wasn't until the table read that he realized James Franco would be funnier in the role of Saul.

- The source of inspiration for making Pineapple Express, according to producer Judd Apatow, was Brad Pitt's character in True Romance (1993), a stoner named Floyd. Apatow "thought it would be funny to make a movie in which you follow that character out of his apartment and watch him get chased by bad guys"..

- Rogen and Franco had originally acted together 9 years previous in the Apatow-produced television series Freaks and Geeks, where in one episode Franco's character is going to dispose of his weed and Rogen's character trys to convince Franco to give him the weed instead and end up getting caught by the school counsler.
