Over the past couple of years, if there’s been Red Band trailer for a Zac Efron movie, you could pretty much guarantee it would feature him in a state of semi-undress at some point. Now we have one for Neighbours 2 which does offer some slow-motion Zac shirtlessness and tiny orange shorts, but it appears that Seth Rogen also wanted to show off his pecs (or lack thereof), as he’s equally topless.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Now that Mac (Set Rogen) and Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) have a second baby on the way, they are ready to make the final move into adulthood: the suburbs. But just as they thought they’d reclaimed the neighborhood and were safe to sell, they learn that the new occupants next door are a sorority even more out of control than Teddy (Zac Efron) and his brothers ever dreamed of being. Tired of their school’s sexist, restrictive system, the unorthodox ladies of Kappa Nu have decided to start a house where they can do whatever the hell they want.
‘When Shelby (Chloe Moretz) and her sisters, Beth (Kiersey Clemons) and Nora (Beanie Feldstein), find the perfect place just off campus, they won’t let the fact that it’s located on a quiet street stand in their way of parties as epic as the guys throw. Forced to turn to the one ex-neighbor with the skills to bring down the new Greeks next door, the Radners—alongside best friends Jimmy (Ike Barinholtz) and Paula (Carla Gallo)—bring in charismatic Teddy as their secret weapon. If he can infiltrate the sorority and charm his way through it, the thirtysomethings will shutter the Kappas’ home. But if they think that their neighbors are going down without a fight, they have severely underestimated the power of youthful ingenuity and straight-up crazy.’
It’ll be in cinemas in May. [Read more…]
Yesterday at SXSW Seth Rogen presented a work-in-progress screening on his R-rated, CG animated movie Sausage Party. It got pretty good buzz, even if it wasn’t finished, with many suggesting it’s a smart and funny movie, which takes a sideways look at belief and religion.
Sci-fi comedies don’t have a great track record at the box office, but Zach Galifianakis, Seth Rogen and Bill Hader aren’t going to let that put them off, as 
I’m pretty much convinced that if Zac Efron sees a script he likes, he tells his agent that he’ll make it, but only if they put in more opportunities to take his shirt off and show off his physique. But it seem that with Neighbours 2 (known as Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising in the us), Seth Rogen also wanted to ensure he could get his shirt off to, as you’ll see in the film’s first trailer.
There have been quite a lot of set pictures of Zac Efron with his top off on the set of Neghbors 2 (which will be Bad Neighbours 2 in the UK). However, it’s only now that the first official pic has arrived, which shows that it’s not just Efron who’ll be taking off his shirt, as Seth Rogen is showing off his chest hair too.
