On Saturday night Zac Efron and Seth Rogen were in Austin, TX to premiere Neighbors, a new comedy in which Rogen plays a thirtysomething husband and father pitted against Efron’s character, the president of a hard-partying fraternity that moves in next door.
Writer-executive producer Brendan O’Brien got the idea for the movie after his wife called the police because some college kids next door were being too loud. “That is kind of the idea of where this actually came from,” Rogen said. “If you actually had to live next to that and you were someone who was trying to have some responsibility in their life it would just be a disaster. That idea was just really funny to us.”
Both actor were happy to be in Austin for the premiere.
“There is an energy, man, a vibe about the town. People here really love movies and you just feel such support,” Efron said. “And the fellow artists you meet around town, casually, it’s integrated with the people. Usually it’s so separate,. Here I really feel like we’re part of the world. It’s really neat.”
