Rogen "was in research mode at the Venice Film Festival on Monday," reports Variety's Alex Ritman. :"Though he’s not involved with A24’s The Smashing Machine, he attended the afternoon press conference for the Dwayne Johnson’s wrestling drama before hitting the red carpet for the world premiere. During the film’s 15-minute standing ovation (something Remick’s Continental Studios could only dream of), while Johnson and Safdie both wept for joy, Rogen — seated a few rows back — spent much of the time capturing footage on both his phone and a chunky digital camera (and also cheering and merrily posing for the occasional selfie with fans). He later carried on to the after party, where he chatted to fellow guests — and took more photos, with organizers telling Variety that he’d been dubbed 'The Snapping Machine.'"
