Plot
Lazy stoner and process server Dale Denton (Rogen) has only one reason to visit his equally lazy dealer Saul Silver (Franco): to purchase cannabis, specifically, a rare new strain called Pineapple Express that is hot on the drug market. Saul genuinely wants to befriend him, but the selfish Dale is only interested in gaining access to the weed. When he becomes the only witness to a murder by a crooked cop (Rosie Perez) and the city's most dangerous drug lord (Gary Cole), he panics and dumps his roach of Pineapple Express at the crime scene while fleeing.
Upon returning to his dealer, he finds out the weed is so rare that it can be traced back to him. Both decide to flee and forsake the idea of calling the police, because anyone could be involved with the murder. As Dale and Saul run for their lives, they quickly discover that theyââ¬â¢re not suffering from weed-fueled paranoia; incredibly, the bad guys really are hot on their trail and trying to figure out the fastest way to kill them both. Further complicating things, Saul inadvertedly drags Dale's girlfriend Angie (Heard) into the mess.
Production
After Judd Apatow came up with the idea of making a "weed action movie" with the feel of Thelma and Louise, he had writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg write the screenplay. Rogen initially considered playing Saul with James Franco as Dale, but after the first table read, Rogen determined Franco would be funnier playing Saul. Rogen and Franco had originally acted together 9 years previous in the Apatow-produced television series Freaks and Geeks.
Seth Rogen also sat down with 1980s musician Huey Lewis, of Huey Lewis & The News, possibly discussing Lewis writing and performing the theme song for the movie.
There was an exclusive sneak peek of the film attached to Superbad's DVD, which was released on December 4, 2007.
Rogen has stated in interview with Rolling Stone for the April 17th issue that he had hoped for a larger budget, but the producers were only able to secure $25 million due to the drug-heavy subject matter
