At least that's what Seth Rogen is claiming. I still have no idea how much of this is a attempted joke by Seth Rogen, an inside joke that they aren't letting us in on, Seth Rogen talking shit (which he's done before), or just Seth Rogen being high. Probably some combination of all of the above.

Rogen stunned by Lucas' 2012 theory

Funnyman Seth Rogen was left stunned by a recent encounter with his moviemaking hero George Lucas - because the Star Wars director spent 20 minutes telling him the world would end in 2012.

Rogen was left speechless when Lucas and Steven Spielberg joined a movie meeting he was a part of - but the encounter has left him worried his life will be over next year.

He recalls, “George Lucas sits down and seriously proceeds to talk for around 25 minutes about how he thinks the world is gonna end in the year 2012, like, for real. He thinks it.

“He’s going on about the tectonic plates and all the time Spielberg is, like, rolling his eyes, like, ’My nerdy friend won’t shut up, I’m sorry...’

“I first thought he (Lucas) was joking... and then I totally realized he was serious and then I started thinking, ’If you’re George Lucas and you actually think the world is gonna end in a year, there’s no way you haven’t built a spaceship for yourself... So I asked him... ’Can I have a seat on it?’

“He claimed he didn’t have a spaceship, but there’s no doubt there’s a Millennium Falcon in a garage somewhere with a pilot just waiting to go... It’s gonna be him and Steven Spielberg and I’ll be blown up like the rest of us.”

George is God, so it must be true

So George only has 2 years to finish destorying my childhood.

Han shot first.

Seth Rogen is NOT funny.

I heard the same thing about him from another film maker on the radio this morning. He must be saying it to quite a few people.

i'm going to go with 'the world will not end, but maybe it will change' theory.

for example, just in case the mothership comes back for us i'll leave a beacon on in the window

He also believed Jar Jar Binks was a good character idea, that Hayden Christiansen could act, and that editing classics was not heresy...

Some of your political posts make me scratch my head, but then you post stuff like this and it makes me totally want to do nasty fun things to you.

ACK!!

YOUR MOTHERS A WHORE TREBECK!

Since he's so certain, I'm sure he wouldn't mind signing all of his money and intellectual property rights over to me?

Lucas sent out the best most cool response to this "news" story.... ha ha ha... read on:

“I spoke with George,” said Lucasfilm rep Lynne Hale in an e-mail to Wired.com about this issue of obvious intergalactic importance. "He was not serious when he talked about the end of the world in 2012 but he is an adamant believer that the world is flat, that Stonehenge was built by aliens, and that the sun revolves around the Earth,” Hale said. “These are among the many subjects he commonly discusses at length with Elvis, who he’s going to digitally insert into Indy 5 along with a roster of famous dead actors. Seth Rogen is a funny guy, but George and Steven are taking Chris Rock with them on the Millennium Falcon!"

All I know is, my buddy turns 50 on 12/21/12 and we are going to have the most kick-ass 50th birthday party, one way or the other.

funny stuff. I am glad it was a joke. I can so see him doing that too!

the real question is what the hell would Lucas and Speilberg do with Seth Rogan in a movie?

When I first glanced at that I though you said you'd leave bacon on the window.

I find Seth Rogan really creepy and weird.

Lucas is buying too much into his prequel mentality... Maybe Jar-Jar Binks gave him a prophetic revelation...
