"Hermoine just stole all of our s**t."
After the release of an April Fool's joke trailer for a sequel to 2008's Pineapple Express, an actual, red-band trailer has been released for the upcoming, apocalyptic comedy This is the End.
The movie follows Seth Rogen, James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Jonah Hill and Jay Baruchel as fictional versions of themselves trying to stay alive while living in Franco's house after an apocalypse hits the planet. The NSFW trailer shows the movie's many cameos, including Michael Cera, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Aziz Ansari and a not-messing-around Emma Watson, whose apocalypse survival instinct is take what's hers.

"We should make more sequels to our movies."
For those that loved the 2008 comedy Pineapple Express, you're in luck: Seth Rogen, James Franco, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson, along with Jonah Hill, have teamed up for a sequel, sort of.
In what is clearly a April Fool's joke, Sony Pictures has released a trailer for Pineapple Express 2, reuniting Dale (Rogen), Saul (Franco), Red (McBride) and henchman Matheson (Robinson), that quickly revealed to be the trailer for This is the End instead. The upcoming comedy sees those same actors (plus Jay Baruschel) play fictional(?) versions of themselves as they live together in a single apartment while a global apocalypse destroys the Earth.

One of the long-gestating projects for actor-writer Seth Rogen has been the end-of-the-world horror-comedy Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse, which we first reported on in 2008. The "Jay" of the the title is Rogen's Knocked Up co-star Jay Baruchel. To promote the production, the two actors made an eight-minute short (NSFW) that took place in a dingy apartment with a dwindling water supply in a post-apocalyptic world.
Now, after several years of waiting, it looks as though the full-length movie version is on the way, but will include more than just Baruchel and Rogen, as Rogen revealed to MTV:

Anyone who's been regularly attending theaters this summer can tell you that it's been pretty weak on the comedies. Since kicking off with The Hangover 2: New Location, Same Jokes we've had an almost constant string of disappointments, the only real abatement being the girls-gone-Apatow in Bridesmaids — you know it's bad when even the perfunctory Pixar flick is a failure. Luckily, not all is lost yet, and 30 Minutes or Less promises to be the light at the end of this summer's explosive-yet-largely-unfunny summer.

Throughout the marketing campaign for Columbia Pictures' 30 Minutes or Less, it seems that the red band or restricted material is usually what has best represented the movie's humor. The latest restricted clip is no exception, highlighting some of the movie's funniest (though NSFW) moments.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland), 30 Minutes or Less stars Jesse Eisenberg as an ambitionless pizza delivery guy who is forced to rob a bank by two slacker criminals (Danny McBride and Nick Swardson) who strap a bomb to his chest. Eisenberg enlists the help of his ex-best friend, played by Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation). That's two pairs of buddies in a buddy comedy, something that McBride, in an interview with Movieline, explained was part of the appeal for him.

Universal has released a variety of new preview clips for their upcoming comedy, Your Highness, which reteams Pineapple Express co-stars James Franco and Danny McBride with their Pineapple Express director David Gordon Green.
However, instead of being a modern-day stoner comedy, Your Highness is a stoner comedy set in medieval times with Franco and McBride playing Prince Fabious and Prince Thadeous, respectively, two brothers who set out on a journey to save Franco's fiance from the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux). Along the way, the Princes meet up with warrior princess Isabel (Natalie Portman), who aids them on their quest.

As evidenced in the previously released red band trailer for Your Highness, Academy Award-nominee James Franco and Academy Award-winner Natalie Portman weren't going for more nominations in Universal Pictures' upcoming comedy.
Set in the Middle Ages, Your Highness follows Franco and Pineapple Express co-star Danny McBride as Prince Fabious and Prince Thadeous, respectively, who embark on a quest to save Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel) after she is kidnapped by an evil wizard (Justin Theroux). Joining the brothers is warrior princess Isabel (Portman), who is romantically pursued by Prince Thadeous in several failed attempts in the latest red band trailer.

A new TV spot for Universal Pictures' upcoming fantasy comedy, Your Highness, recently aired and it can now be viewed online. Directed by David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express), Your Highness stars Academy Award-nominee James Franco and Danny McBride as Fabious and Thadeous, two brothers in line for the throne who couldn't be more different. When Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), is kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), slacker Thadeous is forced to accompany noble Fabious on his quest to rescue his fiancé and defeat Leezar or risk being cut off from the royal life by their father, the king (Charles Dance).

James Franco and Natalie Portman may be looking at possible Oscar drama nominations coming early next year, but come April, the two actors will team up for Universal's comedy, Your Highness.

Portman plays McBride's love interest, an elusive warrior named Isabel.

The first Red Band trailer for Universal Pictures' upcoming fantasy comedy, Your Highness, is now online and it features a lot more "blue humor" than your typical medieval movie. Helmed by Pineapple Express director David Gordon Green, Your Highness stars James Franco and Danny McBride as Fabious and Thadeous, two brothers in line for the throne with decidedly different talents and views on life. While Fabious is a noble adventurer beloved by the masses, Thadeous is a wizard weed-smoking boozer and layabout with a fondness for easy maidens. When Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna ( Zooey Deschanel), is kidnapped by an evil wizard (Justin Theroux), the king orders Thadeous to help his brother reclaim his fiancé or lose his place at the royal table forever. Natalie Portman and Michael Clarke Duncan also star.
