I’m a huge Back to the Future fan (heck, it’s my favorite film of all time), so I was excited to read that Seth Rogen recently met with 80’s rock icon Huey Lewis, to convince him to pen and perform a theme song for the upcoming stoner comedy, The Pineapple Express.
“Seth’s looking for something in the vein of ‘Power of Love,’” a source told EW.
Nothing has been made official, but we’re hoping that Huey Lewis will make a comeback with a rocking 80’s style tune. The Pineapple Express hits theaters on August 8th 2008 (a long ways away for a movie which wrapped in May 2007).

If the only reason why this movie is held back to 2008 is to give the news time to create Im all for it.

While I am not in the mood for the oncoming Judd-Jumped-the-Shark talk that is inevitable with each film, this is fantastic news and just what comedy needs right now. The News!
I think “Pineapple Express” is going to be the new “Beverly Hills Cop” and am stoked. Rogen has great taste and I’m glad these guys are finally eclipsing Adam Sandler’s mediocre comedies at the theater.
However, nobody can make Huey and the News cooler than Patrick Bateman in “American Psycho.”

This is great news. Comedy and Huey Lewis go together like pb&j.
