For a while there it looked like Kevin James and Seth Rogen's comedy careers were somehow headed in the same direction. Both were working on movies in which they played mall security guards, and even though James's was given the obvious title Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Rogen's was the more subtly sardonic Observe and Report, they sounded kinda like the same movie.

But with Paul Blart coming out in the wastelands of mid-January, and Rogen talking about his project, the differences are becoming clear. In fact, Observe and Report may turn out to be different from anything else, ever. "To me it's a marvel that a studio let us make that movie," Rogen told Collider. "You watch it in a theatre and people go crazy. It's an insane movie. You see people looking at each other going 'What the hell? How did they get away with this?' "

Apparently there had been rumors going around that a less raunchy, or less insane, or some lesser version of the movie would be released after the studio panicked, but Rogen says it's not true. "I can't think of one thing really that they made us change that we didn't want to. They've let us do it. It's crazy. It's happened."

Rogen talked to Collider about some of his other upcoming projects, including the big kahua The Green Hornet, so head over there to check it all out. Right now I'm looking forward to Observe and Report more than I ever expected to, because seriously, what the hell is this movie going to be about?
