College comedy ‘Townies’ starring Zac Efron and Seth Rogen gets a release date

“Townies” is coming to a theater near you next spring.

The Nicholas Stoller comedy – in which Zac Efron stars as an obnoxious college student who shakes up the lives of a couple (Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne) who live next door to his fraternity house with their newborn baby – has been slated for release on May 9, 2014. Also starring Dave Franco, Lisa Kudrow, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Jake Johnson, the Universal film was written by Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien. Stoller last directed “The Five-Year Engagement” starring Emily Blunt and Jason Segel.

The release-date news is the second today from the studio, who earlier announced an August 29, 2014 release date for their psychological thriller “The Loft” starring Karl Urban and James Marsden.
