'This Is the End': The Story Behind the Year's Most Shocking Cameo
WARNING: SPOILERS, SPOILERS, EVERYWHERE...AND NOT A DROP TO DRINK.
Theater-goers who checked out "This Is the End" this weekend were not surprised to find a gaggle of comedy's finest playing themselves in a post-apocalyptic fight for survival — with Milky Ways. Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel and Danny McBride form the end of the world version of *NSYNC and try to maneuver through their sea of troubles with unity in tact. When McBride is banished from the group, he emerges later with his own army. A cannibal army. An angry cannibal army. S**t just got real. Get More »

'Man of Steel' Carelessly Demolishes Box Office Records
Warner Bros.
It's official: Superman is back.
According to Film.com, the first and still greatest superhero set an all-time record for the biggest June debut in box office history, raking in a whopping $113 million to easily dominate the box office.
That was far more than the $20.5 million brought in by fellow new release "This Is The End." Not that Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and the rest of the comedy ensemble are complaining; with Wednesday and Thursday figures factored in, the apocalyptic farce earned $32.6 million overall, meaning it's already in the black.
For a full run down of the weekend's box office, including numbers for returning hits "Fast & Furious 6," "Star Trek Into Darkness" and "Iron Man 3," head to Film.com.

'This Is the End' Only Happened Because Of Daniel Radcliffe

Emma Watson wasn't the only "Harry Potter" star approached about ditching her Gryffindor garbs and turning into an a**-kicking, looting and otherwise just not f**king around survivalist for the apocalyptic disaster comedy "This is the End."
The Boy Who Lived himself, Daniel Radcliffe, also got an early whiff of the pic's script ... but he was quite put off by the foul odor of the then-stinker draft.

The 15 Greatest Movie Trip Scenes Ever
Columbia Pictures
There's always been a lot of tripping in movies, and man, is it hilarious. People trip all the time. Why, just the other day, I had dropped my backpack on the floor of my apartment right when I walked in, and as I circled back around really quickly I ended up stepping right into ...
Oh. OHHH. That type of tripping. The one with hallucinogenic drugs. Okay, got it. Yeah, that type of tripping is funny, too. And hey, that's in a bunch of movies as well! Like, say, this week's "This is the End." Or so we hear. Get More »

The 15 Best Things Said on the Set of 'This Is the End'
Sony
Apocalypse comedies are all the rage lately – seriously, they're more common than Nicolas Cage movies right now – but in terms of originality, it's hard to beat "This Is the End."
The summer laugher, co-written and co-directed by longtime buds/collaborators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, features six of film's funniest joke-slingers (Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and Jay Baruchel) playing "heightened versions" of themselves on the night of The Reckoning. Better yet, it takes place at a Hollywood house party and features handfuls of celebrity cameos, many of which end in gory demises.
That leaves our six main players left to fend for themselves while utter catastrophe reigns outside of the house (Franco's) they've barricaded themselves in.
We ventured south last spring to behold some of the improv-heavy shenanigans on a soundstage outside of New Orleans, where Franco's Hollywood house had been constructed. Here are the 15 most notable quotables. Get More »

James Franco Paints Mural Devoted To 'This Is The End' In Brooklyn
Of course he did.
In the most recent installment of Zach Galifianakis' internet talk show "Between Two Ferns," the comedian asked weirdo superstar James Franco, "Of all the art projects you've done, what has made people roll their eyes the hardest?" And you know what? It was a fair question. Franco has a restless creative spirit that often compels him to do really annoying stuff, like a "mixed media piece" for the Stella Adler studio called "Collage" (it supposedly combined dance, theater, music and poetry), publishing a book of poorly received short stories and hosting the Oscars.
While his latest project might not be quite as obnoxious, it is similarly arty and bizarre. On Saturday he painted a mural dedicated to the co-stars of his new movie "This Is The End." Franco even chose a perfect location for his new piece, one synonymous with arty nonsense: some random wall in Brooklyn.

'Pineapple Express' Sequel: It Could Happen!
No, this is not another April Fool's Day joke. Seth Rogen really does want to make "Pineapple Express 2."
"For the last few years we've been talking about what a sequel would be, and it is the plot we put in the movie," Rogen said of a possible follow-up to the 2008 comedy hit, starring himself and James Franco. "Whether that hurts its chances or helps, I don't know." Get More »
