Despite what any of you might think about Rogen’s politics, the man can be insanely funny when he’s at the top of his game.
Prime Rogen is about as good as it gets when it comes to comedy in Hollywood. We’re talking about the guy behind “Pineapple Express,” “Superbad,” “Knocked Up” and “This is the End.”
Rogen knows comedy and he knows how to make people bust out laughing when he’s pumping out hits. Has his most recent work dropped off a bit?
Sure, but his best movies have withstood the test of time.
Now, he’ll reportedly play Spielberg’s favorite uncle in the unnamed upcoming movie. If Rogen gets back to his roots when he’s flying high, then I’m sure it’ll be funny as all hell.
There’s no concrete release date for the movie given the fact it doesn’t even have a title right now, but Deadline reported 2022 is likely. It should be solid whenever it comes out!
