Sausage Party Trailer and Release Date: R-Rated Animated Film Even Shocks Seth Rogen (VIDEO)
Sony Pictures Entertainment and Annapurna Pictures' Sausage Party is set to be released on August 12. Just on March 14, the red band trailer of the first R-Rated CG animated film was released.
The animated comedy, from writers Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir and directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan, was shown as a "work-in-progress" to an audience in the South by Southwest Film Festival Featuring Monday night in Austin, Texas.
After the screening, critics had strong things to say about the R-rated film and understandably so. Sausage Party is centered on food at a supermarket who discover what happens after they are bought. All the food products in the store are in such horror when they find out that humans eat them, rather take them to their naive idea of "the great beyond" aka food heaven.
What's shocking about the movie is what these animated food say and do. The film takes these food products and brings in prominent issues that are happening in today's society, such as the Israel/Palestine conflict, racism, sexual freedom and global warming according to Deadline.
"I'm even shocked, and we made it," Rogen said of the project after the film's screening.
David Krumholtz who plays the voice of the Armenian Flatbread, also spoke of the movie's intensity, but highlights the comedic aspect of the film.
"It might be the funniest movie of all-time," Krumholtz told Comingsoon. "It was the funniest script I've ever read, and the stuff I've seen is just absolutely brilliant. I can't wait for people to see it, and it's R-rated but man, I'll tell ya, it's a loose NC-17. It's pretty out there."
The animated film is to include the voice of voices of Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, Jonah Hill, James Franco, Craig Robinson, Nick Kroll, Bill Hader, Danny McBride, Paul Rudd, David Krumholtz, Edward Norton, and Salma Hayek.
