 Lifelong friends and roommates Zack and Miri are facing hard times and a mountain of debt. When the electricity and plumbing get cut off, they seize upon the idea of making a homegrown porno movie for some quick cash, enlisting the help of their friends. The two vow that having sex will not ruin their friendship. But as filming begins, what started out as a business proposition between friends turns into something much more.
What happens when two best friends up to their eyeballs in debt decide to have sex on camera for money? Kevin Smith was desperate for answers. He took a group of ragtag actors to Pittsburgh for two months to find out.
Not many actors have successful directors sitting around, writing movie scripts with them in mind for the lead character. But for Kevin Smith, Zack was tailor written with Seth Rogen in mind. Kevin explains that when he watched THE 40-YEAR OLD VIRGIN, he fell in love-with Rogen. “I thought he was hilarious,” Kevin explains.
“I started thinking about him for this film, but I didn't get around to writing the script for while. When I finished the script, I started seeing his face everywhere. He was on billboards all around LA for KNOCKED UP. I figured he'd never consider my flick anymore.”
