Check Out the Trailer for 'Pineapple Express'!!!
Filed under: Comedy, Trailers and Clips
Finally, after all of the waiting, Moviefone has the trailer for The Pineapple Express, which you can watch above (or over there in glorious HD)! And man, it's been worth the anxious wait, even if there's no Huey Lewis to be heard. Under the directorial eye of David Gordon Green, Seth Rogen and James Franco are two pot smoking friends who get in over their heads when Rogen witnesses a cop murder someone. Of course, the only thing to do is go straight to the pot-dealing Franco.
Rogen is, well, Rogen, although he's got one heck of a flying through the air moment that was just completely brilliant, and has me waiting for Seth to take on a buddy cop movie. Franco, meanwhile, is just excellent. Really -- after pushing the boundaries of annoyance with Spidey, he's just stoner greatness. And, it's nice to see Rosie Perez getting down with her bad self.
Watch out for the barracudas!
(Fun Fact: A little birdie out at SXSW told us that, originally, Rogen was supposed to play the stoner and Franco the straight guy. However, Judd Apatow wanted to take a risk and flipped the roles before filming began.)

this is good, but the red band trailer is sooooo much better. if i had seen this trailer first, i wouldn't be nearly as interested. but still, i can't wait.

I will be flabbergasted if this is not the funniest movie of 2008.

If Seth's role is the straight role......LOL! I normally don't gravitate toward these types of movies but based on the trailer alone I laughed about half a dozen times and I am now really looking forward to seeing this film!

Nice basically cleaned up version of the Red band trailer and how is it riskier making Franco the stoner? If you would've described the two leads to me I wouldve pegged Franco as the stoner every time.

I was crying by the time the trailer ended the 1st time I saw it (the red band trailer, not the toned down one.)
Called my wife in to watch it and she can't wait to see it either.
And thanks for who posted the music info above. I was actually about to start google searching for it until I read your comment.
Listening to it now on I-tunes. :)
