Seth Rogen and James Franco try to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un in trailer for The Interview
THE pair’s new movie looks very un-PC and VERY funny, as they go undercover to try and assassinate the leader of North Korea.
James Franco and Seth Rogen play the least-qualified assassins ever in the first look at their new comedy, The Interview, which hits cinemas in October.
The hilarious duo play a talk-show host and his producer who score an interview with Kim Jong-un, dictator of North Korea. The CIA steps in to ask them to kill Kim, but as the trailer shows, they might not be up to the task.
Briefing the pair, a crack CIA operative (Lizzy Caplan) tells them that the people of North Korea are fed propaganda about their dictator — outlandish lies that he can talk to dolphins and never goes to the bathroom. “He can talk to dolphins?” Franco asks, wide-eyed.
There should be just as much action as laughs for the pair, who’ve previously starred together in stoner comedy Pineapple Express and last year’s apocalyptic laugh-fest This Is The End. The 90-second trailer manages to cram in rockets, speedboats, tanks, fist fights — and puppies.
