To celebrate April Fools’ Day and simultaneously viral market the new film “This Is The End,” Seth Rogen, James Franco and Danny McBride have put together a trailer for “Pineapple Express 2.” This time, they must assassinate Woody Harrelson (played by Jonah Hill, because obviously). Thug life, indeed.

“This Is The End” is Rogen’s apocalypse comedy where the actor cast his famous friends as variations on themselves (Franco, Hill and McBride are joined by Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel and a cast of dozens). The comedy was co-written by Rogen and Evan Goldberg (“Superbad”) and co-directed by the pair as well.

“We thought it’d be funny to see really famous people die in super graphic ways,” Rogen said at WonderCon this weekend (via EW.com). “People were into it. At first we thought they’d be insulted or something like that — and some of them were — but most of them weren’t. They were into it.”

Escape From Planet Earth Review

There have been some really solid animated movies over the last couple of years. Despicable Me, Megamind, Toy Story 3, Up… those are just a few somewhat recent examples that someone of any age can fall in love with. Unfortunately, Escape From Planet Earth can’t be added to that list. Despite boasting some seriously funny voice actors (Rob Corddry, Ricky Gervais, Jane Lynch, Craig Robinson, William Shatner), this is a film filled with cheesy jokes that will probably only make younglings giggle.

The sci-fi story begins on the planet Baab. The world admires and praises the cocky astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brenadan Fraser). What the alien world overlooks is that Scorch’s missions would be nothing without his genius brother, Gary (Corddry), who’s running things over at mission control. They receive a SOS from “The Dark Planet” (Earth), and Gary warns his brother not to go because no alien has ever returned from our delightful little rock. Naturally, the confident hero goes anyway and shortly later he winds up in Area 51 (insert dramatic music here).
