In just a few weeks, Sony Pictures' R-ratedSausage Partywill hit theaters, but writer/producer/voice actorSeth Rogenbrought this outrageous comedy to Comic-Con last night for an early screening, and to release a newred band trailer. Before the screening,Seth Rogenintroduced the film to the audience, where he teased that a sequel is already in the works. Of course, nothing has been confirmed by the studio quite yet, but it seems thatSeth Rogenand his collaborators are already working on ideas forSausage Party 2.
The closestSeth Rogenhas ever come to making a traditional sequel was in his 2013 comedyThis Is the End. In that movie, the actor played himself and, with the help ofJames Francoand the rest of their friends, they made a sequel to their 2008 stoner comedyPineapple Express, while they were trapped inside after the rapture hit Los Angeles. Still, during his introduction toSausage Partylast night, it seems he is more than willing to make a sequel. Here’s what he had to say below, according toVariety.
“It’s the first time we’ve ended a movie with the intention of making another one. We have an idea of where we’d like it to go and we’d love to just maketalking sausagemovies for the rest of our lives. Who wouldn’t?”
Sausage Party, the firstR-ratedCG animated movie, is about one sausage leading a group of supermarket products on a quest to discover the truth about their existence and what really happens when they become chosen to leave the grocery store. The film features the vocal talents of a who’s who of today’s comedy stars -Seth Rogen,Kristen Wiig,Jonah Hill,Bill Hader,Michael Cera,James Franco,Danny McBride,Craig Robinson,Paul Rudd,Nick Kroll,David Krumholtz,Edward NortonandSalma Hayek.Seth Rogennot only lends his voice to Frank inSausage Party, and he also co-wrote the script with his longtime collaboratorEvan Goldbergalong withKyle HunterandAriel Shaffir.
It isn’t known ifSeth Rogenand his writing partnerEvan Goldbergare already working on a script forSausage Party 2, or if the rest of this star-studdedvoice castwill return to reprise their roles.Greg TiernanandConrad Vernondirected this animated comedy, and it isn’t known if they will be willing to return as well. It has already been a big year for R-rated movies, withDeadpoolshattering records left and right, and ifSausage Partycan open big on August 12, we may be hearing something official about a sequel very soon.
