Rogen & Byrne Meet Their "Neighbors"

Several new stills, a RED BAND trailer and a TV spot have dropped for the comedy "Neighbors" formerly known as Townies.




The film has an R-rated script that Brendan O'Brien and Andrew Cohen wrote, that follows a rivalry between a member of an alpha male-filled college fraternity (Zac Efron) and a local family man (Seth Rogen) who lives right nearby. Rose Byrne will play Rogen's wife.

Dave Franco plays Efron's best friend and frat vice president. No word just yet on the characters that both Christopher Mintz-Plasse or Ike Barinholtz will play. Jake Johnson Craig Roberts and Lisa Kudrow also star.

Nicholas Stoller called action on the pic

Rogen and his pal Evan Goldberg are producing the pic while James Weaver, Cohen and O'Brien are exec producing.

Efron proved to me in 17 Again  that, with the right material he can be funny--Love the shot of him in "Neighbors" doing his best Robert De Niro from Taxi Driver as Travis Bickle

The material plays up Efron's looks and Abs to be sure--that said--this film looks funny. Fingers crossed  This is a surprisingly early launch for a movie that doesn't open until May 9th of next year.

BE WARNED THE FOOTAGE INCLUDES DIALOGUE AND INTENSE IMAGES THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR MINORS....PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK
