Joblo.com has posted an interview with David Gordon Green from the set of The Pineapple Express. It's not the most revealing interview but a few of the more interesting quotes from DGG are below...
-I think all the films I’ve made have had a degree of humor in them and I just felt somewhat monitored by the fact that to a degree there is a line you don’t want to cross in a dramatic movie and still be faithful and considerate of the characters and respectful of the material. Again, bringing so much of the same manner and sensibility, you know we are doing a little bit different lighting in this movie because you light differently for comedies.
It is a totally different tone, and it is ridiculous and over animated sometimes. I always divide people, people love one movie and hate the next. Hate all of them, love all of them, so for me personally, it is valuable to do something totally different and if it sucks or I’m not happy with it, or audiences don’t respond, it might be difficult to do it again. Or I might not be interested in doing it again, but right now I think the funnest thing to do would be the unexpected.
-You know what I want to do that will never happen, but would be amazing is to do a sequel to “Tango and Cash” and “Pineapple Express” at the same time so you’d get, I like the idea of combining sequels like “Alien and Predator” or whatever. Bringing two franchises into the same sequel would be pretty cool. I like the idea of taking the director of another franchise and he directs his actors and I direct mine … doing something weird. Try something different. We’ll see what’s next.
