Do You Superbad?



Superbad, somehow only the second most anticipated Judd Apatow related comedy of the year, has gone and got itself an official movie site. Right now you can download a screensaver and stare at a countdown clock, but word on the street is that the place will soon become as happening as the high school keg parties depicted in the film. And oh yeah, there's also the first trailer. Nothing super bad about that, provided you have a functioning US driver's license to get through Sony's creepy childproof digi-lock.

The film, directed by Undeclared vet Gregg Mottola and written by the great Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, releases August 17. Star Michael Cera also has Jason Reitman's Juno and the sketch film Parental Guidance Suggested coming later this year, and his new web series, Clark and Michael, premieres this month at CBS.com. The latter is a mockumentary following Cera and best friend Clark Duke living the high life based on an indefinite pilot greenlight, and features everyone under the sun, including Arrested Development pals David Cross and Tony Hale, plus Andy Richter, Patton Oswalt, Tim and Eric, and Superbad co-star Jonah Hill, who will match Cera's gusto with appearances in the surefire hit Evan Almighty and the Danny DeVito comedy One Part Sugar, as well as lending his voice to the star-studded CGI Seussage fest Horton Hears a Who. You also may have caught him in the premiere episode of Human Giant, and you'll see him the aforementioned other Apatow production, Knocked Up. Hey, who needs college?
