\u201cSuperbad\u201d would never be made in 2026, Seth Rogen said on an episode of \u201cThe Interview\u201d released Saturday, because Hollywood is more rick-adverse than it was in 2007. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we made that movie, they bought our script, they hired a director, they said it would have a $20 million budget and it would start shooting in August or in April of that year,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd it would come out in August of the following year. That\u2019s it. And then we cast the movie, we found a director for the movie, we made it according to their schedule and we released it on the date they chose.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would never happen today in 100 million years,\u201d Rogen continued. \u201cNo studio, would just buy a script, give it a release date, cast it and then make it. Like, now, everything has to be in place before they will decide whether or not they\u2019re making it. Who\u2019s the director? Who are the actors? Are they famous enough? Do they have big enough names? If not, then we\u2019ve got to change, we\u2019ve got to get different ones or else we won\u2019t make it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rogen added that if a studio feels the \u201cright\u201d actors aren\u2019t attached, they\u2019ll change the shooting schedule, too. \u201cBecause we think these actors will get us more money than these actors, even though they might not be the funniest actors for the role, they might be more commercial for the role,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cNot to say you won\u2019t ultimately get to the funniest people for the role, but you\u2019ll have to go through an incredible process to do it in a way that is all due to risk aversion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2007 comedy starred Rogen alongside Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Emma Stone, and Bill Hader. Hill and Cera play Seth and Evan, two teenagers who want to lose their virginity before graduating from high school. The movie was also Stone\u2019s film debut.<\/p>\n
