James Franco and Seth Rogen are sent to North Korea to kill Kim Jong-un, played by Randall Park. Wait, what?
That’s the premise of The Interview, an action comedy coming this fall from the people who brought you Neighbors and This is The End.
In the film, talk show host Dave Skylark (Franco) and his producer, Aaron Rapoport (Rogen), are somehow able to nail an interview with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (Randall Park), whom they discover is a fan of their celebrity tabloid show Skylark Tonight. In order to legitimize themselves as journalists, they jump at the chance.
Their plans get turned upside down, however, when the CIA recruits them to kill the leader. As it turns out, the two of them turn out to be maybe the least-qualified men imaginable.
The Interview, written and directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, is set to release on October 10. Check out the teaser trailer below:
