Seth Rogen’s Bold Vision for The Studio
In a new trailer for Apple TV+’s upcoming comedy series The Studio, Seth Rogen, who plays the head of the fictional Continental Studios, expresses his desire to include a graphic diarrhea explosion in one of the film’s scenes. This unique request is set against the backdrop of the Super Bowl, where the trailer will make its debut.
A Glimpse into Creative Chaos
The teaser showcases Rogen as Matt Remick, the newly appointed leader of the fictional movie studio central to the Apple series. Alongside his creative team, he navigates the contentious debate over whether to retain a shocking scene in their teaser trailer titled Duhpocalypse, where a zombie infects a character, portrayed by Josh Hutcherson, with his lethal flatulence.
Inside the Film: Duhpocalypse
Duhpocalypse serves as the studio’s movie-within-the-series, featuring Hutcherson and Johnny Knoxville in a new zombie comedy thriller set to hit theaters this summer.
Rogen’s Humor in the Boardroom
“It’s true. It’s a very deep and complex film. But I want that diarrhea explosion in the trailer,” Rogen’s character insists during a boardroom discussion, highlighting the often absurd yet creative challenges faced in the industry.
The Studio: A Balancing Act
Premiering on March 26 on Apple TV+, The Studio delves into the lives of movie studio executives as they juggle corporate pressures with their creative aspirations.
Logline Overview
Here’s the logline: “As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their own insecurities while managing narcissistic artists and demanding corporate overlords in the relentless pursuit of creating exceptional films. With their power suits concealing an ongoing sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show presents them with a chance for dazzling success or career-ending disaster. For Matt, who lives and breathes movies, this is the job he has always wanted, but it may ultimately lead to his downfall.”
A Star-Studded Cast
The series features an impressive lineup, including Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, Chase Sui Wonders, Bryan Cranston, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, and Dewayne Perkins. Created by Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory, this Lionsgate Television series promises to be a compelling exploration of the entertainment industry.
Building Anticipation
The new trailer follows a creative spot during the Golden Globes, where Rogen and O’Hara humorously critiqued red carpet influencers ahead of the actual awards ceremony.
Collaboration and Production
Rogen shares The Studio credits with Huyck, Gregory, and Evan Goldberg. Executive producers include Point Grey Pictures’ James Weaver, Alex McAtee, and Josh Fagen, alongside Rogen and Goldberg, marking another significant collaboration between Apple TV+ and Rogen.
