Seth Rogen Says Sony Wouldn’t Allow Jonah Hill to Use a PlayStation in ‘Superbad’: He Can’t ‘Interact With Our Products. It’s Too Vile a Character’


Seth Rogen shares that Sony objected to Jonah Hill's character using a PlayStation in 'Superbad': "It's too vile of a character."

Seth Rogen took a studio note personally on “ Superbad,” when Sony objected to Jonah Hill ‘s character using a PlayStation 2 in a scene because he was too “reprehensible.” “They were like, ‘We can’t have him interact with our products as a character, because it’s too vile a character.’ And I was like, ‘It’s based on me, that’s very insulting,'” the star said through laughs, speaking with RottenTomatoes on the red carpet for the SXSW premiere of his new Apple TV+ series “The Studio.” Hill isn’t seen interacting with Sony products in the film, though Michael Cera’s character, Evan, does play “The Getaway: Black Monday” on a PlayStation 2 in an early scene.
