“They’re been wanting us to do a sequel to Superbad for so long – but we’ve held off. We eventually said No. But this one, it’s not a precious coming-of-age story like Superbad, it’s a weed action-movie and if it did well, and they gave us like $50 million dollars (as opposed to the $26M we got for this one) we could benefit from that.”
Well of course the studio wants another SUPERBAD. I’ve heard that nowadays whenever a Judd Apatow comedy gets greenlit, everyone in line to share in any of the profits – regardless of how small – puts a down-payment on a a Ferrari with diamond encrusted rims and a bowling alley where the back-seats should be.
