UPDATED: Seth Rogen and Silicon Valley’s Sonny Lee tackle the Singularity for FX
Seth Rogen is making a TV show about the Singularity, which will presumably feature some bong hits and dick jokes too, but will primarily be about Ray Kurzweil’s artificial intelligence theory. /Film picked up on the news after Rogen discussed it during a visit to Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist podcast. “It’s a half-hour comedy about the Singularity, basically,” Rogen said, declining to discuss it further. Rogen explained that he’s developing the pilot for FX. “We’re working on the script right now, and we’ll film that in the next year,” he noted. The “we” in all likelihood refers to Rogen and partner Evan Goldberg; the pair also developed AMC’s Preacher adaptation.
