David Gordon Green’s 2008 comedy classic Pineapple Express marked a career peak for just about everybody involved, from the director to stars Seth Rogen and James Franco. 2011’s Your Highness, another stoner comedy that reunited the director with Franco and his old friend Danny McBride, bombed at the box office, leading Green to an odd decade balancing the demands of studio filmmaking with detours like 2013’s bleak Nicolas Cage drama Joe. But he explored horror in 2018’s Halloween legacy sequel, and it became his most commercially successful film ever, according to Box Office Mojo. Two sequels were greenlit immediately. But despite its success, the movie also felt shockingly enervating for a director who once made a masterpiece of action comedy.
