With Peeta (not Pita)
I like a lot of Seth Rogen joints fora multitude of reasons, but in his attempt to scattershot ideas with his writing partner Evan Goldbergover cross joints, he can come up with some pretty bad stuff. That basically sums up my feelings towards his new Hulu show concept — bad.
It’s calledFuture Man, and stars Josh Hutcherson (Peeta fromHunger Gamesfame) as the “socially inept” Josh Futturman, who is a janitor by day, and a “world-ranked gamer” by night. In the most blatant way possible that also avoids copyright infringement, it seems to be aLast Starfighterriff, as Hutcherson will need to use his skills to save the human race from aliens.
Of course, said gamer is bad with women, and lives with his parents. Hey! That sounds a lot likePixels!
