Seth Rogan has just signed on as the lead role in the 2008 film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, according to the Weinstein Company and Dimension Films. Elizabeth Banks, who starred alongside Rogan in The 40 Year Old Virgin, will be playing opposite Rogan as Miri. The movie is now scheduled to start filming in January 2008. Zack and Miri Make a Porno’s director, Kevin Smith, said that he wrote the role of Zack specifically for Rogan.
The movie centers on Zack and Miri. Zack and Miri are two lifelong platonic friends who are deep in debt, so they decide to make a porno to make some cash quickly. To make these porno videos, they recruit their friends to help them. But as everyone starts sleeping with each other, Zack and Miri realize that their feelings for each other are a lot stronger than they initially thought.
Zack and Miri Make a Porno is the latest project between Bob and Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Smith, and producer Scott Mosier. The list of movies that these four have collaborated together includes Clerks, Clerks II, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, all of which have been very successful comedy movies. With this track record, how could I not be excited about this movie? Having Seth Rogan in the movie also helps just a little bit. Ever since Knocked Up, Seth Rogan has made every movie that he’s been in into gold. It’s really hard for me to think that this movie won’t be a hit next year.
