‘The Studio’s Seth Rogen And Co-Creator Evan Goldberg On The “Miracle” Of Casting Scorsese And What Ron Howard Said About His Role


'The Studio's Seth Rogen and co-creator Evan Goldberg on the "absolute miracle" of casting Scorsese and what Ron Howard said about his role

Or, in situations like the one involving Martin Scorsese, the duo wrote a scene specifically for the iconic director and, “to our absolute shock and bafflement,” he said yes to appearing in the pilot episode where he pitches Matt on a big-budget movie about Jonestown. What Goldberg and Rogen ended up writing was a knee-slapping moment in which Howard berates Matt for giving him the much-needed editing note and the director responds by getting violent and dropping several f-bombs — which, apparently, is completely in character for the guy who once played Opie. Goldberg and Rogen have their theories as to why they were able to recruit the likes of Nick Stoller, Charlize Theron, Adam Scott, Ice Cube, Peter Berg, Steve Buscemi, Lil Rel Howery, Paul Dano, Johnny Knoxville and more.
