What You May Need To Know:

1. The Pinapple Express (2008) posse are back! First came the bullshit trailer for PE2 – thankfully, it’s not happening.

2. We had the first trailer for this a while back. This one’s better. Much better.

3. He was lost in a bit of a post-Oscar malaise, but James Franco has just scored back-to-back hits with Oz The Great And Powerful (2013) and Spring Breakers (2012). the latter of which features his finest turn in years.

4. This Is The End is the first movie directed by Seth Rogen and his writing partner Evan Goldberg. Rogen badly needs to get his mojo back after The Green Hornet (2011) and that ill-advised Streisand road movie. That said, he’s still only 30.

5. The Michael Cera comeback starts here.

6. ‘HERMIONE JUST STOLE ALL OF OUR SHIT’!
