While Rogen and Goldberg have helmed a few episodes of different television shows in recent years, they haven’t been at the head of a film project since the release of The Interview… which you may remember didn’t exactly have the most standard journey through the promotion and distribution stages.
With Seth Rogen’s new movie, An American Pickle, launching on HBO Max this Friday, I had the pleasure of interviewing him earlier this week, and it was during our conversation that I took the opportunity to ask about his thoughts regarding directing another film.
He explained that he and Evan Goldberg have been using their time social distancing in recent months to work on a new feature that they are planning to helm together, but added that he and his partner still aren’t entirely over what happened to The Interview.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg haven’t helmed a feature since, but as noted above they have kept their skills sharp by directing episodes of Preacher, Future Man and Black Monday – all shows produced by their production company Point Grey Pictures.
Continuing, Rogen explained that working on the three dissimilar series gave himself and Goldberg the chance to operate in new and different ways, and that it has helped them prepare for what’s next.
Exactly how long we’ll have to wait is unclear – but the good news is that there basically is no wait at all for the release of the next Seth Rogen film.
