Wow, Seth Rogen somehow managed to have a lengthy chat with our boy 'Sturdy' on the set of his new flick OBSERVE AND REPORT without slipping a bit of this info.

Rogen will star with amigo Jay Baruchel in an action-comedy called JAY AND SETH VS. THE APOCALYPSE, from Rogen and co-writer Evan Goldberg. The project is based on a short (see below) and revolves around two average dudes trying to deal with life after an undisclosed worldwide cataclysm.

The project is set up at Mandate Pictures and will reportedly shoot some time next year -- no telling how that might impact the plans for Rogen's GREEN HORNET flick.

Extra Tidbit:	Baruchel next appears in TROPIC THUNDER and FANBOYS, if it ever comes out.

Fun Fun Fun...

...looks good to me guys. Obviously they will head outside during the movie when there is a budget for it, this was just a short. That part will be what makes or breaks the flick. I'm all for a gritty post apacolyptic buddy action comedy. It will be even more awesome if it is rated R, and has nudity and gore. Bring it on boys.

It could work. But It'd have to have more to the story than just the odd couple in an apartment.

Am I the only thinks they should change the title?

Sounds a little too "Jay and Silent Bob" to me.

Oh No.

Looks like it could be funny I just hope it doesn't effect the third in Edgar Wright's and Simon Pegg's " Cornetto Trilogy". Which was I believe was to be a post apocalyptic comedy as well.
