Take a Hit Off the New 'Pineapple Express' Posters

It's too early to tell whether or not the pot smoking stunt at the MTV Movie Awards will backfire against Pineapple Express, the new Judd Apatow-produced comedy from Superbad writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. I rather doubt it will do anything but make people want to see it more.

There are no high school kids around this time, just Rogen and James Franco playing big time fans of the ganga who go on the run when they're seen by some really bad people when Rogen and Franco see something they shouldn't.

There have been a few good pot comedies, which in a way is strange, because to the core audience, it really doesn't need to be all that funny to be effective. The one advantage this has over any other pot comedy I can think of is that it's a big summer movie with lots of money thrown at the marketing. Dazed and Confused just kind of showed up.

Here are the latest posters for the movie with the awesome tagline, "Put this in your pipe and smoke it."

Pineapple Express hits theaters on August 8th.
