Seth Rogen Reduced To Stick Figure For Decency's Sake [Marketing]

Gawker - 16th Sep 2008

Seth Rogen: The original movie poster for the new Kevin Smith flick, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, was banned by the MPAA earlier this month because it conjured the terrifying image of Seth Rogen receiving a b.j., which is not safe for kids or anyone else. Now the new version of the poster (pictured) is out: the old "so hot you have to see it for yourself" trick. They still face the problem of having "titillating" and "Seth Rogen" in the same sentence, though. There's no way out.

Seth Rogen Admits He Loves Porn - “I Watch Tons”
Seth Rogen is basically a class-A role model for up and coming filmmakers. Smoke a lot of weed and watch porn then you will become a successful Hollywood actor/director and writer. Anyhoo, Rogen admits that when he initially came to Hollywood that all he wanted was to work with Kevin Smith. His wish was granted. Rogen stars with Elizabeth Banks in Smith’s “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” a romantic comedy with a whole lot of skin showing. The 26-year-old actor recalled a meeting nearly a

Banned Poster of ‘Zack and Miri Make a Porno’
The MPAA, film’s rating organization, recently banned the following poster for Kevin Smith’s upcoming movie, Zack & Miri Make A Porno, from the US. Their reason? The suggestively placed backs of heads. This is weird, considering a similar poster from another film had no problem getting past the censors - Sure, Dane Cook is 100 times hotter than [...]

Frat Humor Will Kill Superhero Movies In Years To Come [Superhero Hell Movie]
While Will Smith's Hancock may have failed to kill the superhero trend in movies this summer, we think we've identified the actor who stands the most chance of being the unwelcome nail in this genre coffin - Seth Rogen. It's not enough for him to be writing and starring in the upcoming Green Hornet movie. Now he's being prepped to appear in a future Kevin Smith scifi superhero movie. When will the madness end?According to Smith, his superhero project is still two movies away, following the Rogen-starring Za

'Zack and Miri' get a new poster
After the utterly ridiculous decision by the MPAA to ban the first poster for Kevin Smith's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," the film's design team came up with an awesome new one-sheet. It may not be as provocative as the poster you will now only see in Canada (and probably in every other country not suffering from the MPAA's decisions), but it sure is a great way to make the best out of the situation. Check it out below and enjoy the film in theaters Oct. 31, 2008.

The 26-year-old actor recalled a meeting nearly a decade ago with a prospective agent who asked what his career goals were. That's when he confessed his desire to work with Smith, whose profanity-spewing raconteurs i

New Poster For Porno Movie Makes Light Of Censors
The new promotional poster for ‘Zack and Miri Make A Porno,’ starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks, has debuted and pokes fun at the censors who denied the previous poster’s U.S. release.  Check it out here. The initial poster for the movie was knocked back by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), although it wound up being accepted by Canada, so Director Kevin Smith has opted to use stick figures instead. The original banned poster and the new one can be viewed below. Cli

New Zack & Miri Make A Porno Poster
Whilst not revealing anything new this has to be one of the coolest posters in a while, and there have been some truly classic ones of late. I would suggest this is a teaser pester but seeing as the actual main one-sheet for the film was doing the rounds long before this I’m tempted to think it was dreamt up purely for the ‘cool’ factor. Just goes to show what you can do with a few words and a bit of subtlety. Zack & Miri Make A Porno is the latest directorial effort from Kevin Smith

Toronto Review: Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno
To say I enjoyed Zack and Miri Make a Porno would be inaccurate. I loved it, every last second, right down to the mushy story about love and relationships that Kevin Smith gets to in the end. It's hilarious, it's saturated with sex, and it's charming, too. To be honest, I think Kevin Smith has actually taken a gigantic step forward, away from his previous films like Clerks and Dogma, and ventured into new comedic territory that used to only be reserved for Judd Apatow. I thought Seth Rogen might not be able

EXCLUSIVE: Kevin Smith’s ‘Star Trek’ Review, Calls Chris Pine’s Kirk ‘A Star-Making Performance’
Kevin Smith is just about the luckiest guy on the planet and I’m pretty sure he’s aware of it. His filmmaker buddies have always seemed more than willing to share their upcoming works well in advance of their release dates. He saw “MI:III” early as well as “The Dark Knight,” and here in mid-September of ‘08 he’s already seen two must-sees for ‘09! That would be “Watchmen” AND “Star Trek.” When I met up with Kevin in Toronto this week to chat about “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,

Seth Rogen may have become one of Hollywood's most bankable actors, but the last thing he sees when he looks in the mirror is a movie star. "And please don't insult my intelligence by arguing that fact," snorts the 26-year-old Canadian comic. "I certainly don't feel like a movie star – not in this body anyway," he continues, letting out a machine-gun volley of laughter. "I think when you do comedy, you play by a different set of rules. No one really wants you to be in that good shape. Being in good sh

Movie Review: Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno
I have a theory that Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno is actually just a chronology of Smith’s career so far as a filmmaker. The film starts off much like Clerks, with Seth Rogen trying to wake up for his dreadful job. Minutes later he is walking through the local mall with his roommate and best friend Miri, played by Elizabeth Banks, in a scene that is reminiscent of Mallrats. The high school reunion sequence that follows feels oh so Chasing Amy. And when Zack and Miri must band togethe
