Back in June, we brought you the first look at The Interview, which finds James Franco as a tabloid talk show host who travels to North Korea along with his longtime producer (Seth Rogen) for an exclusive interview with dictator Kim Jong-Un. There’s just one minor complication: a CIA agent (Lizzy Caplan) has tasked them with using the opportunity to carry out a covert assassination plot.
If it sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is – but what else would you expect from the team behind This is the End and Neighbors? Click below to check out The Interview red band trailer, courtesy of Sony Pictures.
The Interview is scheduled to open on December 25.
In the action-comedy The Interview, Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show “Skylark Tonight.” When they discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least-qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un.
