Seth Rogen is developing a sitcom about the Singularity
If you've never heard of The Singularity, it's the concept made famous by Ray Kurzweil that society's going to be up-ended by the rise of AI. Give it a few years and it might be more well-known as a sitcom created by Seth Rogen and his writing/producing partner Evan Goldberg. Rogen told the Nerdist podcast (as reported by Slashfilm) that they're currently working on a script with a view to shooting a half-hour pilot for FX in 2017.
The 'Superbad' and 'This is the End' team is adapting a book about the '90s video game war
The duo behind This is the End is making a movie about the the '90s battle between Nintendo and Sega. That's right, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (who also wrote and executive produced 2007's Superbad) are adapting Blake Harris' forthcoming account of the power struggle between the two gaming companies. At this point, details are otherwise scarce and Harris' book doesn't release until this May. We do know that Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo and the Battle That Defined a Generation is comprised of some 200 interviews with former employees from each company, but that's about it. Goldberg's and Rogen's past work leans toward the R-rated and comedic sides of things, so it could be interesting to see how their take on one of gaming's more storied tussles plays out when it finally hits.
