\n\tFor the last decade, Seth Rogen has had his hands full with plenty of acting, writing and producing duties \u2014 but he has not directed a film since 2014\u2019s The Interview<\/em>, for understandable reasons. <\/p>\n

\nThe Interview<\/em> starred Rogen and James Franco as their characters landed an interview with North Korean dictator Jong-Un Kim, then were recruited by the CIA to assassinate him. The film famously caused an international incident, with the North Korean government\u00a0threatening the United States if Sony released it and Sony being hit with a massive cyberattack shortly after. <\/p>\n

\n\tRogen and partner Evan Goldberg directed the movie together, their second directorial effort after 2013\u2019s This is the End<\/em>. Cut to 2026 and Rogen has directed plenty of TV episodes \u2014 including for his hit series The Studio<\/em> \u2014 but has yet to direct another feature. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt has been a while. The last one we did almost started a war so that made us maybe a little gun-shy for a little while,\u201d Rogen admitted at the premiere of his new movie The Invite<\/em> on Wednesday. \u201cWe eased back in through television and it seemed to go well, so we do talk about maybe, hopefully, directing a film next year actually.\u201d He added that in today\u2019s Hollywood, \u201cWe\u2019re not the biggest problem anymore.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tFor now he\u2019s starring in another actor-director\u2019s vehicle, Olivia Wilde\u2018s The Invite<\/em>, which sees him and Wilde as a couple barely keeping their marriage together who invite their neighbors (Pen\u00e9lope Cruz and Edward Norton) over for a quickly derailed dinner party. <\/p>\n

\n\tRogen joked that simply being a hired actor \u2014 rather than his usual multi-hyphenate role \u2014 on the movie was refreshing, as \u201cit\u2019s nice when there\u2019s a conversation happening over there and you\u2019re like, \u2018Normally I\u2019d be a part of that conversation that everyone looks pretty miserable to be a part of.\u2019 And I can just scroll Instagram and talk to Edward.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tHe also had high praise for Wilde, noting, \u201cI\u2019ve worked with some people who are acting and directing at the same time and I always really enjoy it. To me she was very bold in both respects which I found to be really impressive, like she was taking big swings both as an actor and director.\u201d <\/p>\n
