Ahead of its release next month, Columbia Pictures has debuted the first clip from comedy The Interview, which sees Lizzy Caplan’s CIA agent recruiting James Franco and Seth Rogen for an assassination attempt on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un; check it out below…
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.
The Interview opens on Christmas Day in the States and February 6th in the UK.
