Judd Apatow Says 'Pineapple Express 2' Likely, 'Superbad 2' Not So Much

Looking for a sequel to the hit summer comedy "Superbad"? Don’t expect to get one anytime soon. The genius producer behind the film, Judd Apatow, revealed as much when he sat down to talk shop with his fans on Funny or Die yesterday. While "Pineapple Express 2" looks like it may hit theaters at some point in the foreseeable future, "Superbad" won’t be getting a sequel.

(Editor's note: I would have embedded the video here, but Judd Apatow is a profane man and the words he uses are too much for members of our reading audience. I welcome you to track it down on the great ship Internets.)

“I can't get [Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg] to make the ‘Superbad’ sequel. I begged, but they don't want to ruin it. They think it's a gem of a movie and they don't want a crappy second," Judd said. He later stated, "There's a little talk about a 'Pineapple Express' sequel if that's your cup of tea... your bowl of smoke. You probably have a better shot of seeing that [than any 'Superbad 2' or any other Apatow sequel]."

Beg more, Judd! We want a sequel! Despite Rogen and Goldberg’s stubbornness on making one, I have to agree that “Superbad” was a crown jewel. Since sequels often turn out way worse than the original, maybe skipping it is best. But surely after a long, thought out process, a screenplay could materialize into something that would be worthwhile to see.

For a movie that made nearly $200 million at the box office and served as a launch pad for the careers of Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Emma Stone, there is surely money to be made. Just make it not suck. Simple.

Personally, I’ve been longing to see what happens to Seth (Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) next. They kind of left us hanging at the end of "Superbad" with questions to be answered about the boys and their love interests. They could Rogen and Goldberg could show us Seth and Evan moseying through their college lives with the infamous McLovin (Mintz-Plasse) tagging along. Upping the stage from high school to college is certainly an idea.

Apatow recently finished off “Get Him to the Greek,” a spin-off of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” Russell Brand will reprise his role as Aldous Snow while Jonah Hill will be taking on a whole new character, playing a music label intern tasked with escorting Snow to his a LA show.
