Yeah, I’m sure somebody’s going to Hell for making ‘Sausage Party‘, and I’m probably going there with them, although considering the options, I’ll take it. I’d rather be swinging on a star and carry honey-flavored mustard in a jar than be a fish or a pig, or a hot dog or a bun, or be that jar or honey mustard, or for that matter, pretty much any food one can think of. Of course, I know what happens out in the “Great Beyond”, the legendary place outside Shopwell’s supermarket where all the foods hope and prey that one day, they’ll be chosen by the gods to go to. The latest hallucinogenic-inspired piece of insanity from the writing team of Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, is an R-rated animated feature, about food. Sorta in the same way that ‘Toy Story‘ was about the world of...

With animated food orgies, grotesque depictions of living objects hacked to pieces, and F-bombs galore, “Sausage Party” shatters taboos with glee. Now, its creators are getting the last laugh.
Co-writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg first conceived of the deranged animated comedy nearly a decade ago, and every studio passed on it. “We really naively thought everyone in Hollywood would be very enthusiastic about an R-rated comedy about a hot dog trying to uncover the meaning of existence,” Rogen told a New York crowd filled with members of the Academy’s animation branch last weekend. “We were wrong.”
Years later, with the help of Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures, “Sausage Party” came to vulgar life under the guidance of veteran animation directors Conrad Vernon (“Shrek 2”) and Greg Tiernan. To date, the movie has grossed over $138 million worldwide, well over its reported $19 million budget, inspiring distributor Sony to mount an...

In cooking up a filthy R-rated animation – one that came within touching distance of landing a Nc-17 rating – co-directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan assembled a who’s who of Hollywood talent for Sausage Party.
Among the ensemble were Seth Rogen – who helped rustle up the initial pitch with writing partner Evan Goldberg – Jonah Hill, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Michael Cera, James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Paul Rudd, Nick Kroll, David Krumholtz, Edward Norton, Salma Hayek and Anders Holm. But according to a new report by /Film, famed hip-hop artist Sean Combs (Aka P. Diddy) was once cordially invited to the food-related shenanigans.
Then attached to a cameo role that involved a bottle of Courvoisier, the report goes on to reveal that Combs’ reasoning for backing out of Sausage Party was rather simple: he didn’t want to be involved due to the fact that the film was animated.

So… we’ve seen what our playthings do while we’re away in the Toy Story trilogy. And just a few weeks ago we saw what our animal companions do when we’re off to work and school in The Secret Life Of Pets. Well, what’s left? Ya’ ever wonder what happens at the grocery store once the lights are out and the doors are locked? No, seems that Seth Rogen and his pals have been curious about everything on the shelves and in the bins. And, no big surprise, their imaginations have come up with something more than a touch adult. With their help, animation will burst through the confines of “all ages” entertainment, which has happened several times in the last five decades. Feature adult animation’s first big hit was the 1972 Ralph Bakshi adaptation of R Crumb’s underground comic Fritz The Cat. A sequel quickly...

Just because Salma Hayek is an Oscar-nominated actress that doesn't mean she won't play a lesbian taco. A lesbian what?! That's right—Ms. Hayek plays a same-sex loving taco in Sausage Party, the new—and very raunchy—animated flick about food items in a grocery store who believe that being bought by customers will lead them to a world of pure nirvana. They're unaware that humans actually eventually eat them. (You really need to see the movie to truly understand the storyline.) Hayek voices a taco named Teresa who has the hots for a hotdog bun played by Kristen Wiig. Hayek says she tried not to tell her businessman husband François-Henri Pinault about the part....

“You are what you eat,” the well-known saying goes. But in Seth Rogen’s Sausage Party you eat what you are and who you are eats you. The product of another collaboration between Rogen and longtime pals Jonah Hill and Evan Goldberg, Sausage Party hands down and quite simply is the funniest movie of the summer. Freed from the humanistic constraints of live action these talented comedians, and the talented cast they amassed, reach new humoristic heights. The result is a laugh-out-loud outrageous mix of literalism and figurative speak, of wit and double-entendres, that will have its target audience screaming with joy and the rest of the theater screaming for the exits.
The story follows Frank (Seth Rogen) and Brenda (Kristen Wiig), a phallic sausage and curvaceous bun with a strategic opening, on the eve of the Fourth of July, the day they expect to finally be chosen for a...

After Charlie Kaufman’s R-rated, stop-motion drama “Anomalisa” failed to make a box office dent last year despite critical kudos, we’ll see if Seth Rogen’s raunchy, CG-animated “Sausage Party” (opening August 12) has a better chance of commercial success.
“One of the biggest reasons I wanted to do this was for the industry itself, just to be able to knock down the door and prove that R-rated animation has an audience,” admitted director Conrad Vernon, who first met Rogen as a voice actor on DreamWorks’ “Monsters vs. Aliens. “It just depends on how you tell the story and we think animation’s not just for families and kids and that it’s a medium and not a genre.”
Vernon has been aching to do an R-rated animated comedy ever since he saw Ralph Bakshi’s “Heavy Metal” in the ’80s. He wound up working on Bakshi’s “Cool World...

Come August 12, Sony Pictures will stage a Sausage Party the likes of which moviegoers have never seen, and a new clip emerging today places the spotlight on frivolous Frankfurter flirting – try saying that one after a few too many jars.
Dreamed up by the bankable creative duo of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, Sausage Party imagines a twisted alternate reality where anthropomorphic food unknowingly embrace their death sentence, leaping off shelves, into shopping trollies and, much to their horror, into mouths.
Among the voice cast is Rogen himself, joined by a familiar lineup of old cohorts that includes James Franco, Jonah Hill, Kristen Wiig, Salma Hayek, Edward Norton, David Krumholtz, Nick Kroll, Michael Cera, Craig Robinson, Bill Hader, Anders Holm, Paul Rudd and Alien: Covenant star Danny McBride.
Sausage Party will hope to cook up a storm on August 12.
Life is good for all the food items that occupy the shelves at the local supermarket.

With a sprinkle of cutesy animation, a smidgen of food-related puns and a generous dollop of adult-oriented humor, Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan have cooked up an R-rated animation that is unlike any other.
Entitled Sausage Party, the bizarre feature was initially dreamed up by the comedic duo of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and caught just about everyone’s eye earlier this year following its premiere at South By Southwest. Now, less than two weeks out from its theatrical release, Sony Pictures has rolled out the cheeky final trailer that is packed to the brim with food-related shenanigans.

If This is the End and Neighbors showcased the wild side of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, Sausage Party will soon invite moviegoers into a dark, twisted alternate reality where human beings are the one true enemy.
Set to arrive in little over a month’s time, a new and extended TV spot has surfaced online, showcasing the terror that awaits beyond the doors of the supermarket. For in Sausage Party, anthropomorphic nibbles dream of leaping off the shelves and into shopping carts, oblivious to the fact that they all face imminent death.
Bizarre, yet oddly endearing, our own Matt Donato caught a work-in-progress version of Sausage Party, heaping praise on the movie’s irreverent tone and barrage of food-related puns.

Donohue wrote the script for director Lenny Abrahamson (What Richard Did, Frank). Lisa Schwarzbaum gave the book an A- and wrote: “Though the story’s chilling circumstances reflect the horrors endured by tabloid-famous abductees, Donoghue avoids all sensationalism. Instead, she gracefully distills what it means to be a mother — and what it’s like for a child whose entire world measures just 11 x 11.” [Deadline]
