Seth Rogen's no fun list: Red carpets, having picture taken
Seth Rogen says doing red carpets -- even for his hilarious new movie "Funny People" with Adam Sandler, Leslie Mann, Jonah Hill, Eric Bana and Jason Schwartzman, written & directed by his old pal Judd Apatow -- is just not his cuppa tea.
"It's hot, I'm in a suit right now, my shoes are significantly less comfortable than the shoes I usually wear. I don't love having my picture taken. Yeah, it's not my favorite thing in to do."
But when the female reporter asks if it's worth it when the film is this good, he admits, "Oh, yeah, it just takes like an hour. It's not that bad."

Very interested in seeing what Apatow can do with some more serious subject matter. I am actually 100% confident that Sandler will shine in this roll - loved him in Reign Over Me and Punch Drunk Love, but Apatow choosing to cross over beyond just flashes of seriousness (which all his works have), is new territory for him. So long as the film relies more on Sandler than Apatow-buddy Rogen, I think it will turn out.
So far the trailers, which are great, seem to emphasize the comedic aspects, but I am more interested in how well the drama is fleshed out. We'll see. I'm also glad that, in typical Apatow fashion, the TV trailer features a great song - "Ain't That Strange" by Rhett Miller - wouldn't be surprised at all if this ended up pulling a "Paper Planes" and getting huge from this movie alone.
