Long Shot (Jonathan Levine, May 3, 2019) Movie

Starring Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron. Featuring O'Shea Jackson Jr., June Diane Raphael, Ravi Patel, Andy Serkis, Alexander Skarsgard, and Randall Park

 

Spent a good couple days wondering when we were getting a trailer for this. Just noticed it said 2019, so nvm.

Premise doesn't sound super promising but I will watch almost anything with Rogen in it, even if he is super hit or miss recently

 

Yeah, I don't think this'll be Superbad or Pineapple Express or This Is The End level of greatness, but I'm sold almost solely with this being another Rogen/Goldberg project. Good to see they're both still willing to do comedies together and not just focusing on shows like Preacher and Future Man

 

Just found this, doesn't look like Flarsky will be called Flarsky for long

 

Moved to 6/7/19

 

So, the movie (that still doesn't have an official title) will debut at SXSW

Oh okay. May 3rd then.

Seth Rogen/Charlize Theron Comedy Moves Up To First Weekend In May After Scoring SXSW World Premiere

 

New title: Long Shot

 

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out, I’ve loved both of the previous movies Levine made with Rogen. Granted, everyone (rightly) loved 50/50 but The Night Before is a really underrated comedy.

 

'Long Shot' first look: Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen dive into international affairs

 

I'm with you. One of the better holiday comedies in recent memory. Guess people thought it was too much exactly like a Rogen film to praise it specifically. And they seem to only really praise Michael Shannon as well

 

This looks chaaaaarming.

 

It's SXSW don't get excited just yet

 

A drunken crowd pleaser is enough for me.

 

Also these are critics I like and respect, not just randos.

 

Seth and Evan have reached a point for me where I'll watch literally anything they're involved in so I'm definitely in

 

I'm catching this tomorrow!

 

oh shit this is a two hour film

 

A couple things I wasn't a fan of (including one big thing toward the end), but I liked this a lot. In all fairness, I'll probably enjoy this more than most. Still, Seth and Charlize are great together, and the Rogen/Goldberg humor that shines through manages to feel organic in this kind of film (it's certainly more com than rom.) Between this, 50/50 and The Night Before, I'd say Rogen and Jonathan Levine are a really good match
