Late yesterday a four-and-a-half minute sneak peek at the next Seth-penned flick went around and just as quickly went down. When it’s up again (UPDATE: it is — check it after the jump) we’ll get you a look, but know that it’s about weed (particularly, the Pineapple Express strain), it stars James Franco and soon-to-be-buff Seth as stoners that witnesses a cop commit murder, and it looks high-larious. But more than just a Freaks & Geeks reunion, it’s gonna be the movie to introduce Huey Lewis to Generation Superbad! Via VH1:
“I met Huey Lewis because he wrote a song for the movie,” Rogen revealed, confirming reports that the “Power of Love” singer lent his talents to the film. “I saw him after he saw the movie, and he was just going on and on about all the action in it and how he didn’t expect it to be a full-blown action movie.”
In fact, EW‘s sources say he wants a track reminiscent of “Power Of Love,” maybe recapturing some of that Back To The Future magic.
Apparently that’s not the biggest surprise of the film, though. That honor belongs to James Franco. Seth says, “He is absolutely hysterical, and I dare say one of the funniest stoners ever in a movie. And it’s all compounded by the fact that it’s coming from a guy who you did not think had one funny bone in his body.” As we all know James Franco got fired as the lead in Knocked Up…
But he is so, so talented.
Pineapple Express is in theaters 8/8/08.
Back by popular demand, the preview, which smells like god’s vagina. Check the robot Seth drops in the cough sequence.

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s was pretty funny but Apatow better deliver with the Dewey Cox movie. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, with Jason Segel, is gonna be awesome. I can’t wait.
It’s directed by David Gordon Green, the Terrence Malick inspired director who has worked on George Washington, All the Real Girls, and Undertow. This movie’s going to be great.
Can’t wait to go to this movie blazed.
It’s going to be a good summer already.
I think Seth Rogan is what Vancouver would be if it were a man instead of a city.
just didn’t think the pineapple express clip was all that funny.
Seth Rogen is like cookie moster but without the finesse. Franco’s just greasy. Ew.
James Franco IS Jeff Buckley…please make this happen. OKThx
shit, that shit’s gonna be funny as shit
James Franco IS Heath Ledger.. .-ish.

I like Seth Rogen and Pot Humor CAN be funny… However, that was weak. Not funny. I hope the rest of the movie is better.
I gotta admit, I’m really impressed by seth rogen’s pot-smoking technique.
Ditto, Cody.
Is it just me or does James Franco seem to be aping Brad Pitt’s character from 12 Monkeys??
i want to see this movie RIGHT NOW.
i’m excited for it but i don’t know if the action stuff will work. it seems like it’ll just come off as silly.
wanna see some truly funny pot humor? check this out from the aforementioned Walk Hard:

Oh, how I love all the people in both of these movies like they are my children. Please let the sums be better than the parts.
I thought the scene was very derivative of the smack buy in Pulp Fiction with John Travolta and Eric Stoltz. Definitely hope the rest is funnier than this, but I trust in Apatow.
Why is David Gordon Green doing this? It seems like Knocked Up and George Washington are like oil and water.
