Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg Set Plans for Adult Animated Feature SAUSAGE PARTY

Following the tremendous critical and commercial success of This is the End, director/writer duo Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have their next project in line and it’s probably not what you expected. A joint production of Sony Pictures Entertainment, Annapurna Pictures and Point Grey, Sausage Party is an existentialist journey of a sausage discovering himself on the eve of the mass sausage-selling holiday, July 4th.

Not your typical animated film, Sausage Party is being described as not at all for kids. Who would have guessed with a name like Sausage Party? Written by Rogen and Goldberg alongside Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir, with story credit also due in part to Jonah Hill, Rogen/Golberg won’t actually be directing the film. In their stead, Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2, Monsters vs. Aliens) and Greg Tiernan will take over that particular duty, freeing the comedy duo up to focus their efforts on other projects as well, including their upcoming comedy, The Neighbors.

Of the announcement, Columbia Pictures president Hannah Minghella said;

“We’re thrilled to be back in business with Seth and Evan. This project has all the irreverent, insightful and risqué R-rated humor we have come to expect from them. Matching their unique comic sensibility with an animated film is a fun and inspired idea. We are confident Seth, Evan, Conrad and Greg will deliver one of the most memorable animated movies of all time.”
