Following the 2023 launch of Platonic, which has been renewed for a second season, Seth Rogen has one other Apple TV+ subscription-exclusive present to the plenty. The critically-acclaimed The Studio, which dropped its first two episodes on Wednesday, sees Rogen taking part in Matt Remnick, who turns into the brand new head of the movie manufacturing firm Continental Studios, solely to run into challenges he by no means anticipated to take care of when he bought the job.
Though, on the time of this writing, it’s solely been two days since The Studio premiered on the 2025 TV schedule, Rogen has already been on the receiving finish of anger about it. However even higher, he instructed a narrative in regards to the Golden Globes that impressed one of many upcoming episodes.
Seth Rogen’s Already Been Yelled At Over The Studio
Rogen appeared on The Late Present with Stephen Colbert to speak about The Studio, and the host led to how the actor/sequence co-creator “did analysis with some formal and never so formal interview” with Hollywood “producers” and “studio individuals.” Colbert then requested if anybody’s known as Rogen after seeing the sequence to say, “I do know that’s me,” and Rogen responded:
Sure, I’ve been yelled at thrice within the final week. A few of them are happy, a few of them will not be happy, I’ll say.
Yeah, I can undoubtedly perceive why there’d be yelling from some contemplating how The Studio does a deep dive into the internal workings of movie studios, warts and all. For instance, and with out entering into particular spoilers, the primary episode sees Matt Remnick being instructed to make a film about Continental Studios’ latest IP acquisition, Kool-Support. Eager to make a film that has each mass enchantment and may win Oscars, Matt tries to rent Martin Scorsese to direct Kool-Support, and that doesn’t go nicely. I’ve to suppose one thing comparable has occurred in actual life.
Rogen has been within the enterprise for many years, so he’s not simply working off these interviews, however his personal firsthand expertise. Living proof, there’s a scene in The Studio when Matt Remnick says, “I bought into this as a result of I really like films, however now I’ve this concern that my job is to destroy them.” The Superbad alum confirmed to Colbert that this line got here straight from Steve Asbell, the present president of twentieth Century Studios, who instructed this to Rogen and his accomplice Evan Goldberg when taking pictures down a pitch from then that was too R-rated, although he preferred it.
A Golden Globes Speech Snub Impressed One Of The Studio’s Episodes
After Seth Rogen shared the various reactions these individuals within the Hollywood enterprise have shared with him, he then defined how certainly one of The Studio’s episodes will revolve round that point when a movie government was omitted of an acceptance speech on the Golden Globes for a film Rogen made. Per Rogen:
There’s an episode particularly in regards to the Golden Globes and the entire thing is my character simply needs desperately to be thanked within the Golden Globe speech, which is essential to Hollywood executives. Years in the past, we made a movie that received a Golden Globe and on the afterparty, we noticed one of many executives crying, and we assumed they have been crying as a result of we received and so they have been joyful. We went over and we’re like, ‘We received! Is that why you’re crying?’ And so they stated, ‘No, they forgot to thank me through the speech.’
It’s unclear which film Rogen is speaking about contemplating that of the 2 films he’s been in which have been nominated for Golden Globes, 50/50 and The Catastrophe Artist (each within the Finest Movement Image — Musical or Comedy class), neither received. No matter he’s referring to, I’m amused by how Rogen’s taking the ache this unnamed government felt on the time for not being talked about and turning it into one other awkward state of affairs for Matt Remnick. Will he reach getting that point out for no matter Continental Studios film wins a Golden Globe? Or will there be an upset and the film received’t even win in any respect?
We’ll discover out as new episodes of The Studio launch Wednesdays on Apple TV+. You may also hear Seth Rogen voicing Allen the Alien in Invincible, which could be streamed with a Prime Video subscription and not too long ago wrapped up its third season.
