Seth Rogen Says ‘Pineapple Express 2’ Was Turned Down Due to Budget Concerns

” fans will be disappointed to learn that a sequel was shot down over budget concerns from Sony.

“We tried to make one and thanks to the Sony hack you can actually find the email when Sony decided to kill the movie and not make it,” he told host Howard Stern. “It was something we were very open to several years ago, but Sony was not that interested in it.” “I am so glad we are so close to getting ‘Pineapple Express 2’ figured out. I am very excited to make this thing real. We are very inspired creatively on this one. We have hilarious ideas. It is gonna be awesome. We learned so much on how to make these comedy sequels when we did ‘Anchorman 2.’ And we rocked that marketing campaign. Foreign is doing awesome too. I am sure ‘PE2’ will do even better! Marijuana is so popular now! It’s on every corner!” Apatow wrote in an email.

but we didnt need the pineapple express first movie. we need a new cheech n chong movie! seth rogen is no cheech or chong. at least tommy chong can play the guitar.

Go to Netflix they make everything!

Thank god

Really, with Franco? Really?

I’d be happy with a short about Red.

Pineapple Express DVD’s have just been moved to the $4 bin. Have at ‘er, kids!

Damn you SonyPictures

Lol its not too late

budget and not that one of the stars is a rapist ?

rewatch this movie like once a month. would love a sequel.

I mean $5M worth of weed for the cast is probably a lot to ask

Of course they did, that's what network execs do. But green light the same movies overland over again, ruin some classics. So many talented writers in Los Angeles and they just keep feeding us the same garbage.

How high could the budget be?

Wasn't Pineapple 2 inside 'This is the end'?

Nope

LOL. The original was pretty awful, so ...

We’re good

Is this gonna be one of those sequels we'll get when theyre both in their 50s?

Too bad. They had so much more to say.

One of my most rewatched movies. Would love a sequel one day!

Damn how expensive was the weed going to be smh

Pineapple Express 2 GoFundMe

Who wanted to see it? 😒

😳

Weed that expensive these days?

I think we covered everything in part one

I imagine the line item number for weed alone was pretty daunting.

So, was the sequel, be like the one they talk about in This Is The End

Looks like hurricane season is truly over

Should have done a kickstarter

How big was the budget? If it was reasonable of course it would turn a profit
