Seth Rogen's Mom Emailed A Movie Studio To Help New Film Move Forward
Seth Rogen’s mom Sandy emailed the head of a major movie studio in an effort to help move one of her 39-year-old son’s projects along. Over the past fifteen years, Rogen and his creative partner Evan Goldberg have been responsible not just for some of the biggest comedies in recent years, but also for taking comedic filmmaking in new and somewhat refreshing directions.

By 2007, Rogen had teamed up with Apatow once again, this time as the lead in Knocked Up. From that point onward, Rogen’s career expanded into writing, producing, and directing on top of acting.

The This Is The End star recently admitted via his Twitter account that his mom had actually emailed the head of a major movie studio to “hurry up and green light” one of his most recent projects. There’s no word yet if the effort was succesful, but check out
