DVD: Some Early Pineapple Express Blu-Ray Tidbits
August 18th, 2008: The movie has only been in theaters for 11 days, but it’s never too early to talk Blu-Ray. Home Media Magazine recently spoke to Pineapple Express co-writer/star Seth Rogen about the film’s Blu-Ray treatment, including a video game that will be included in this 1080p release.
“With Blu-ray you can actually download material onto the DVD from the Internet,” Rogen said. “So I think they’re putting the video game and stuff on the Internet.”
The writer/actor added that this won’t be a high-quality video game but could provide some entertainment at the office.

Pineapple Express Sets Wednesday Box Office Record for August
August 7th, 2008: For once, here’s a box office record that The Dark Knight doesn’t own. According to Variety, the stoner comedy Pineapple Express opened big to the record-breaking tune of $12.5 million, is a new Wednesday record for the month of August.

Has the Superbad Express Been Cleared for Take Off?
August 6th, 2008: A little while back, Seth Rogen mentioned in an interview that he didn’t want to do a sequel to his acclaimed comedy Superbad, even though Sony was pushing for one. The actor/writer/creator of all things cool announced that he’d much rather do a Pineapple Express sequel. He then went on to say how he could conceivably combine the two titles, and make one super awesome movie where Seth and Evan, home from college for summer vacation, accidentally bump into Dale and Saul. It sounded like the musings of someone with a lot of ideas on his plate. But not a real planned project. But then, during one of the Pineapple Express screenings at Comic Con 2008, Judd Apatow announced to a packed house that this idea might actually become a reality. Now, MTV Movie Blogs has posted a story with excerpts from a recent James Franco interview, and it seems like everyone is quite keen to the idea.

Weekend Box Office - Batman Smokes Pineapple Express
August 8th, 2008:Pineapple Express took some strong puffs against a burning box office this weekend, but couldn’t inhale enough to beat out The Dark Knight. With a staying power very few movies enjoy these days, the Batman sequel dropped only 40% from last weekend, bringing in $26 million and holding on to the number one spot for a rare fourth weekend in a row.

Pineapple Express/Superbad Crossover Movie!
August 7th, 2008: It looks like Superbad and Pineapple Express aren’t going to get sequels, no matter how much money they make. Writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg just aren’t interested. Instead, they may do a crossover movie. That’s right, a team-up between the characters of both films in one massive, action flick. It’s like Abott and Costello meet the Mummy, except it’s violent stoners meet drunken, sex-crazed high school kids.
