it's seth rogen, james franco, and jonah hill playing themselves during the apocalypse. it's kind of a hard movie for the studio to sell, but it is easily the best comedy that's been released so far this summer. - also from sony, "white house down." - yeah. we already had "olympus has fallen" earlier this year, an attack-on-the-white house movie. i think this movie will probably suffer because of that, because people have already seen it. - been there, done that. "grown ups 2," "the smurfs 2," o.k., people... "one direction: this is us." - a concert film. sony is going to end the summer with two sequels that are very easy to greenlight, and a concert film. so i think the numbers on the grosses are going to look pretty decent for sony, but with the budgets, i think it's not going to be a very successful summer for them. "white house down" is a $150 million movie. that could be even a bigger bomb than "after earth," possibly. - and i have to mention here, i saw "42." i think it's a great summer film. it was already out earlier this spring, but i hope it continues on into s

his new movie with seth rogen, james franco, and jonah hill is a very funny look at the apocalypse. >> i'm wg, thank you, how are you? >> jimmy: doing great. i love the movie. i thought it was very, very funny. you play yourself, kind of yourself, in the movie. >> yes, yes. >> jimmy: how true is the character to an exaggerated version of yourself? >> well, ideally, i'm a bit less of a sad sack than i am in the movie. >> jimmy: well, good, because i was worried about you. >> i say ideally, i probably am. i know i'm the eyore of that group. >> jimmy: it's easy to be the ey eyore of that group. >> who am i kidding? i'm the eyore of every group. i'm the eyore of this group. thanks for noticing. >> jimmy: do you actually -- i know you live in montreal, do you hate l.a. as you do in the movie? >> i -- i have -- i have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the film business in this city. >> jimmy: i see. >> it's a big city. 12 million, something like that. 12 million people here. there's plenty of lovely people and great stuff. unfortunately when i'm here i'm usually around actors and exe
