Seth Rogen Gives “Unbelievably Shocking” Disclaimer on Sausage Party Sequel
Actors Seth Rogen, Kylie Hunter, Ariel Shaffir, and Evan Goldberg wrote Sausage Party, a 2016 adult computer-animated black comedy film. The central character of the film was a sausage who resided in a supermarket and learned the truth about what occurs when people buy groceries. The sausage then embarks on a journey with his friends to escape fate while fending off a psychopath who wants to kill him.
Both the audience and the critics, who had praised the plot and voice acting, had positive things to say about the raunchy comedy film. However, some people highlighted the film’s use of animation and humor. In addition to writing the script, Rogen also produced the film and provided the voice of the Sausage. However, the actor has since issued a disclaimer for the follow-up.
Seth Rogen warns the audience and critics about Sausage Party: Foodtopia
During a recent conversation with Collider, actor and producer Seth Rogen was asked if he had anything to share about the sequel of Sausage Party to which he shared a disclaimer warning the audience and the critics to explain that the sequel is going to be “unbelievably shocking”. He said,
“There’s one specific scene that had a special screening for the Amazon PR people. You should all just start wrapping your heads around this now. You’ll probably have to talk about this a lot.’ We had Kristen Wiig picking up a few lines the other day, and I think we’ve all become desensitized to it, because we’d just be like, ‘Roll the scene!’, and then she was like, ‘Oh my God?! This is insane!’”
The sequel is titled Sausage Party: Foodtopia and Rogen is developing the eight-episode project alongside Evan Goldberg, which is expected to premiere in 2024. In a formal statement, Vernon Sanders Studios, head of global television at Amazon Studios, had expressed his excitement about the upcoming project, saying that Amazon Studios is thrilled to work with Rogen and Goldberg once more and that they look forward to giving the project a platform for their worldwide Prime Video subscribers.
