On May 8, Seth Rogen shared the sad news that his 13-year-old dog, Zelda, has crossed over the rainbow bridge. After spending over a decade together, Rogen posted a heartbreaking tribute to the beloved Cavalier King Charles spaniel on his Instagram account. "We said goodbye to our perfect girl Zelda on Thursday, May 4th. She was almost 14 years old," Rogen began. "She was truly the most special, magical creature. She taught us about love, resilience, strength, and kindness. We loved her more than words can describe."

"She was so judgmental, that when she loved you, you really knew you earned it, and it made you feel like you had won."

The gallery featured photos of Rogen and his wife, Lauren Miller, with Zelda over the years. From nature walks and family beach days to times spent on movie sets, the trio's cache of happy memories seems boundless. Rogen recalled traveling with Zelda to multiple countries,...

Few genres are as beholden to tropes than the romantic comedy, which has long traded in predictable patterns, both the good and the very bad (pitting so-called friends against each other in service to new relationships). The path to love never did run smooth, but too many love stories seem to delight in running over people on the way to eternal bliss. It’s a trope that’s been used as plot and as a dirty little garnish, always fortifying the most basic and bland of lessons: Romantic love is more important than anything else.

It’s a trope long due for a refresher. One way: jettison the emphasis on romantic love and lean into the value of friendship, a twist that’s been used to great effect in “Booksmart” and “For a Good Time, Call.” Both films placed a premium on the platonic Bff-ships and use the rom-com structure...

Lauren Miller Rogen had big plans in 2012. Her first feature, “For a Good Time, Call…,” written alongside her college roommate Katie Anne Naylon and loosely based on the pair’s own adventures, debuted at Sundance and was subsequently bought by Focus Features for a summer release, establishing her as a major talent to watch. She was ready to move onto the next stage of her career and direct a feature.

Then, life got in the way: Her mother had just been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s, and the disease was advanced enough that Miller Rogen and her husband, fellow actor and filmmaker Seth Rogen, moved her parents to Los Angeles to be closer. Two weeks later, Miller Rogen left for the press tour for “For a Good Time, Call…” It was an understandably “emotional time” for her, she said in a recent interview. The experience provided an emotional foundation for...

Miller, who's appeared in such films as 50/50 and Observe and Report, reveals the trials of the writing process, the indie film she most admires and her husband's cameo in the film. THR's Complete Sundance 2012 Coverage The Hollywood Reporter: This is your first major attempt at screenwriting. How did this script develop?
