Superbad/Pineapple Express Crossover?

Seth Rogen’s Pineapple Express is released today and while on the promotional round James Franco spoke to MTV about the possibility of a Superbad/Pineapple crossover.

“Even before ‘Superbad’ came out, I think the studio was trying to get [Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg] to write a sequel, but they really didn’t want to write a sequel. I guess the kids would go to college or something like that [that was the studio's idea],” Franco said. “And so, an answer to that was to do a ‘Superbad’/’Pineapple Express’ crossover, an unprecedented crossover movie with two directors, Greg Motolla and David Gordon Green, each directing half of the movie and somehow these characters get together, which doesn’t make sense at all, but could work.”
Rogen himself has stated that he’d be interested in a “Pineapple” sequel. But how would he combine the two universes? Just ask Franco.
“I could sell them [the characters from 'Superbad'] something, but I think we’d want some action, so you know, somehow the kids get in trouble somehow and we have to get them out of it,” Franco mused. “And Seth plays characters in both movies, so somehow we’d have to kill one of them off.”

I would like a Superbad sequel but I haven’t seen Pineapple Express so I cant comment on whether it would be a good idea or not. What do you think?

I love it when people re-cut trailers. It can turn a family friendly film such as Marry Poppins into a psycho horror, and a psycho horror such as The Shining into a family friendly film.

On this occasion someone has turned geeky comedy Superbad, into a rather cool looking action film. The re-cut trailer below shows the true power of a trailer, and how the marketing people could have actually marketed Superbad as an action film…kinda.
