Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s 2013 movie This Is The End was, apparently, not the end for that particular cast of comedy actor chums as The Wrap have confirmed a whole bunch of them will reunite to provide voices for Rogen and Goldberg’s next project, the animated movie Sausage Party*.
This includes James Franco (Spring Breakers, Homefront), Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street, Superbad), Michael Cera (Juno, Hits), David Krumholtz (Numb3rs, Mr Popper’s Penguins) and Nick Kroll (Date Night, Get Him to the Greek), along with Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) to add a female presence.
The movie is described as a “raunchy animated movie about one sausage’s quest to discover the truth about his existence.” Given the way the meat product is commercially produced, you can’t imagine it having the most heartwarming of conclusions. Here’s a bit more about the plot…
After falling out of a shopping cart, our hero sausage and his new friends embark on a perilous journey through the supermarket to get back to their aisles before the 4th of July sale.
The film will be directed by Greg Tiernan (Thomas & Friends) and Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2, Monsters vs Aliens) with a screenplay by Rogen and Goldberg.
And to show you just how funny these folks are together here’s the first 15 minutes of Comedy Central’s Roast of James Franco. Adult humour and language ahoy!
*Sausage Party: a mostly male gathering, if there are females present, they are usually taken (spoiled) or are not worthy of attention (rotten). e.g What a lame party! Totally sausage. Well, there was a rotten meat taco with extra cheese, but who hasn’t eaten that tonight?
