In any town other than Hollywood, the words “Kevin Smith,” “Seth Rogen,” and “make a porno” might seem to make for an unusual combination.
Actually, they’re unusual in Hollywood, too — but, as Variety reports, Smith and Rogen are doing just that. Sort of. Rogen has signed on to star with Elizabeth Banks in Smith’s upcoming Weinstein Company comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. From the article:
Story revolves around two lifelong platonic friends who are deep in debt and enlist the help of their friends to make a porn pic for some quick cash. But Zack and Miri realize that they may have more feelings for each other than they previously thought.
The production, scheduled to begin filming in Pittsburgh early next year, will reunite Rogen and Banks — who worked together on The 40-Year-Old Virgin — and mark the seventh collaboration for Smith and the Weinstein brothers.
