Seth Rogen Interview For ’50/50′
Sep 29th
Inspired by personal experiences, ’50/50′ is an original story about friendship, survival and finding humor in unlikely places. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen star as best friends whose lives are changed by a cancer diagnosis. Rogen also serves as producer, along with Evan Goldberg and Ben Karlin. Jonathan Levine directs from a script by Will Reiser. “We worked with Will on Da Ali G show, and it was shortly after that we learned he was sick.” Rogen recalls. “As shocking, sad, confusing and generally screwed up as it was; we couldn’t ignore that because we were so ill-equipped to deal with the situation, funny things kept happening. Will got better, and when he did, we thought the best way to pull something good out of the situation was to get him to write a screenplay. Ideally we wanted to make a film that would be as funny, sad, and hopefully as honest as the experience we went through. As soon as the script was completed, it quickly became a passion project for all of us. It helped us come to terms with Will’s struggle as well as our own experiences.” ’50/50′ is the story of a guy’s transformative and, yes, sometimes funny journey to health. ’50/50′ draws its emotional core from Will Reiser’s own experience with cancer and reminds us that friendship and love, no matter what bizarre turns they take, are the greatest healers. Alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen, ’50/50 ‘ stars Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anjelica Huston and Philip Baker Hall. The film is set for release September 30th in the US, and January 6th in the UK.
You had been working on ’50/50’ for a while with Will Reiser, at what point did it all finally come together to be a movie?
Seth Rogen: It was a year and a half after Will got better, that he sent us a script. I remember I was in Pittsburgh when I first read it, I think it was 2008. It was around two years after this all happened, the script was really really good, it started to get a lot of attention, we started sending it out to actors and production companies. It really wasn’t that hard to get going because we weren’t looking to do a huge version of it, we were always pretty modest in our production aspirations for the movie (laughs). It came together pretty quickly after Will finished the script.

Katherine is a therapist helping people with their problems, however she obviously has her own set of problems, Adam really helps break down a wall for her.
Anna Kendrick: Yeah, she’s had two patients prior to Adam. I imagined them to be much older, that they were just happy to have someone to talk to, and that she did fine with those two patients. And then she meets someone who really challengers her, and since he’s close to her age she feels like she can’t pull the wool over his eyes. So he ends up breaking down their relationship to a much friendlier place, and that’s when they get into a place where they can really help each other. That’s the great thing about their relationship, Adam really helps Katherine as much as the other way around.

Your character is the source of a lot of the humour in the film. How did you walk the line of being funny with such a sensitive premise?
Seth Rogen: The characters trying to be funny so that gives you a lot of luxury as an actor, because not all the jokes need to land (laughs). To me the only line was how obnoxious can I be and still have the audience believe that Joseph’s character would hang out with this guy essentially, and not tell him to f*ck off (laughs), that was really the line I was careful of. Because there were times when I would antagonize him so much that you would think he’d punch me in the face and never talk to me again. Honestly that was the balance, how far could I push Joseph really, and still have him be a guy he would still want to be around. As far as the audience goes and pushing their limits, we try to do that, but we test the movies a lot, it’s not our goal to put jokes in the movie to offend people — some people, but not all people (laughs). We let the audience tell us, and if there was any joke that is universally hated, we take it out of the movie. We would never leave it in to prove a point.
