Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg interview

Superbad trailer

For the Writers Guild of America, West, Dylan Callaghan talks to the writers of hit comedy film, Superbad, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

To what extent is Superbad a high school confessional/ autobiography?

Seth Rogen: It's not autobiography, but it's definitely inspired by our lives. I was a loudmouthed dick in high school, and Evan was slightly less of a loudmouthed dick. We both really wanted to get laid, which was not happening. So there are a lot of little things that are similar.

Evan Goldberg: Definitely. When friends and family see it, they almost all say, “That's a good Seth, and that's a good Evan.”

Superbad opens in UK cinemas on 14 September.
