Actually no, the glasses DON’T make you look smart.

Mandate Pictures – not to be confused with the similarly-named contents of the manila envelope I threatened to send to my boss’ wife unless he started looking the other way when I showed up for work drunk – has agreed to pay large amounts of money to Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg for Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse, an apocalapatowmedy starring Rogen and his Knocked Up co-star Jay Baruchel. Sweetening the deal for Rogen/Goldberg is Mandate’s promise of complete creative control for the duo – something that used to be extended to A-List “auteur” type directors like Scorsese and Copolla, but now goes to fat guys who make copious dick and weed jokes.

Project started as an internet viral video thingamabob shot to drum up interest in the project – because, you know, having the guys that write/star/produce in pretty much every other comedy that’s slated to come out for the next five years wasn’t enough of a lure.

Mandate is looking to expand their comedy war-chest after the massive success of their unwanted pregnancy movie which Rogen DIDN’T star in, Juno. I guess the Judd Apatow/Diablo Cody superpower-team-up is now inevitable. Starring Will Ferrell as the whip-smart wise-cracking 40-year-old manboy who flashes his dick a lot.
