Pineapple Express 2 Might Still Happen, But Superbad 2 Won't

19 Nov 2009 17:09:16 PST

Written by Alex Billington
I can't get [Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg] to make the Superbad sequel. I begged, but they don't want to ruin it. They think it's a gem of a movie and they don't want a crappy second," Apatow said. That actually makes sense, especially because it was such a great movie. And as for Pineapple Express...

Written by Ethan Anderton
We know Sandler has the box office draw, but I'm hoping that he brings some quality comedy with him too. After being friends with Judd Apatow for so long, I gotta believe that there's some better material in Sandler than what has showed up in his recent work like the frustratingly mediocre I N...

In the waning days of his publicity blitz, Judd Apatow is blogging over at MTV in some kind of meta 'comedians-are- sensitive-beings-who-have-Google-alerts-and-read-them' promotion for Funny People. It's quite enjoyable! Oh Judd! We forgive you for Walk Hard:

What Judd Apatow Did To Kevin Smith [Stoner Verite]

01 Nov 2008 08:45:00 PDT

Written by Alex Carnevale
Kevin Smith wants what Judd Apatow has. Using elements of the New Jersey director's brilliant comedies Clerks and Chasing Amy, Apatow built a foul-mouthed comedy empire where Smith's films always fell short of major box-office success. As the film opens this weekend, does Zack and Miri M...

Although he's been peddling his own brand of potty-mouthed comedy since 1994, Smith seems more or less reinvigorated by the successes of a producer named Judd Apatow. Starting with The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Apatow has written, produced, and/or directed some of the most popular R-rated c...

Saw a special premiere of the latest Judd Apatow-produced comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (opening April 18) last night. And, even though I have not seen Drillbit Taylor, I confidently state that this film makes up for that reel of celluloid dreck.

Apatow, for those not familiar with him, has produced some of the biggest hit comedies of the last five years, including Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy and The 40 Year-Old Virgin. But while those movies were essentially really long sketches that relied on star power (Will Ferrell a...

Movie Review: Knocked Up

Written by orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com)
I first became aware of Apatow’s comedy with the short lived cult television show Freaks & Geeks. I later realized that Apatow was behind The Cable Guy, a very underrated dark comedy starring Jim Carrey. But enough about Apatow, let’s talk about Knocked Up.
