Edward Douglas over at ComingSoon posted an interesting interview with writer-director David Gordon Green, whose stoner action comedy “Pineapple Express” opens everywhere this Wednesday.

Co-written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the film follows Rogen and James Franco as two pot-smoking lazybones who are on the run from a bunch of bad guys. In the interview you can read right here, Green talks a bit about the making of the movie, but also chats about his previous work and some upcoming projects.

When asked about the balance of action and humor in the film, Green said:

“The gore we added and the strange humor we added, the weirder the movie became, the more positive the reaction became, so there was really every incentive to maximize its strange qualities and non-traditional qualities and really follow our initial instincts of what that balance would be.”
