We spoke w/ Sethrogen about TheFabelmans and working with Steven Spielberg.
Academy Award-winning director Steven Spielberg’s next feature to hit theaters may very well be the renowned filmmaker’s most personal undertaking yet. The Fabelmans is an intimate glimpse at Spielberg’s own upbringing, and a mirror he holds up to his most formative years spent honing what would later become an acclaimed career in film.
SETH ROGEN: That's a good question. Watch Superbad. Check out Superbad. People seem to like it. It seems to hold up well. One of the first things I ever wrote about my childhood specifically. You'll get a good sense of what I think is funny and who I am as a person.
I'm curious, even though you're in the movie, you're one of the stars, do you actually have to ask someone permission to go to set when you're not filming? It's funny, the closest I've seen to it is at scoring sessions where all the musicians show up, and they've never played the song together, but they all know their part and the composer's just like "One, two, three, go." Everyone just, “boom,” and it just happens. There were times where it felt like that, where it was, “I know my part and if everyone else knows their part, and we just go, then it might really just come together in this amazing way.” It did all the time.
Yeah, they're all so good, and great, and friendly, and funny. It feels like you're getting invited to play on their team because they all know each other so well. Yeah, it is a real comradery, and it does feel like, at times, those scenes in the movie where it's a bunch of kids making a movie. That's what his sets kind of felt like at times.
I'm just about out of time with you, but I have to bring up that one of my favorite shows on TV is The Boys.I know that Eric [Kripke] told me, they're halfway through filming Season 4 right now, and Diabolical, I'm wondering if that's going to get picked up. I guess it's two-parter. Is there going to be more The Boys Presents: Diabolical, and what can you tease about Season 4?
