Seth Rogen: “Me and Evan [Goldberg] approached [Michel Gondry] with ideas like maybe we could do…some of your weird people made out of string and shit like that. He’s like, ‘No, I don’t want to any of that. The fact that you think I want to do that drives me crazy and makes me never want to do anything like that again.’
He hates being predictable and repetitive and doing what’s been done before. As soon as he starts to feel like he’s expected to do something he doesn’t want to do it at all.” — Don’t worry tentpole enthusiasts, all those papier-mâché horses, paper clips, toilet paper roles and other cobbled-together, lo-fi cinematic MacGyver stuff director Michel Gondry is known for? He’s sick of that shit too and won’t bring that style for “The Green Hornet.”
Yes, it’s that slow of day. [Collider]
Is it just me, or do Rogen & his coterie sound like they're being a bunch of dicks to Gondry? You'd think that they think he's never seen or made anything mainstream before…
If you take away the “lo-fi quirky” what’s he got left?
Since “Eternal Sunshine of a….” not much in the way of actual story or characters that you want to spend 90 minutes with.
and I don’t think anything he’s made could be described as mainstream, could it?
