A Pineapple Express sequel was in the works until it was shut down by Sony, Seth Rogen has revealed.
According to a report from The Daily Beast, the leaked emails included exchanges between producer Judd Apatow and former Sony co-chairman Amy Pascal discussing the Pineapple Express sequel in 2014.
Apatow, however, reportedly wanted a $50m budget for the sequel while Sony executives insisted it be capped at $45m.
The 2008 comedy action film, co-written by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, followed Rogen and actor James Franco as stoners Dale and Saul in their misadventures after witnessing a murder.
