An internet trailer that Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel made for a fake buddy comedy, Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse, about two bros having roommate trubbs after the Apocalypse is now being turned into an actual buddy comedy about two bros having roommate trubbs after the Apocalypse (THR via Vulture):

The plan is to hire a director this summer and, with a budget in the range of other Rogen movies, shoot in 2009, working in concert with Rogen’s packed schedule. The multihyphenate is currently working with Adam Sandler on Judd Apatow’s latest directorial effort, an untitled comedy, and then plans to shoot “The Green Hornet,” which he and Goldberg are now writing, early next year. That action comedy has a June 2010 release date, recently pushed back from a year earlier.

I don’t know what “a budget in the range of other Rogen movies” means. I didn’t realize that was such a common economic benchmark. “I loved this one apartment, but the down payment was in the range of a Seth Rogen movie’s budget.” The joke there is that I could even pretend to think about affording real estate.

If you haven’t seen the internet trailer, it’s after the jump. It’s good.

I remember watching an early episode of Iron Chef when it was still in Japanese and the judges were dubbed with American voice actors reading bad translations, and this one woman said of one Iron Chef’s dumplings “These are delicious. You could take these to a movie. I would eat these during a whole movie.” That is how I feel about this project. I could eat dumplings during this whole movie.

    I thought Kevin Smith was going to do the Green Hornet. Did Judd Apatow take all the love and glory from KS’s 1990s?
