David Skylark (James Franco) is a worldwide celebrity. His talk show is watched everyone, including the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un. Skylark's producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogan), is beginning to doubt the direction of the show and Skylark's sell-out nature. But everything changes when they organise an interview with Kim Jong-un. Suddenly, they are approached by the CIA, offering them a mission to assassinate the world leader. From there, they engage in a ridiculous secret mission, trying to arrange the interview with Skylark being alone in a room with Jong-un and allowing for the assassination.

'The Interview' is directed by Evan Goldberg ('This Is The End') and is facing critical backlash from North Korean officials, who condemn it as an act of terror for it's blatant anti-Korean propaganda. The creators have expressed a love for the chemistry between James Franco and Seth Rogan, saying "it's friendship; it feels real and genuine because it is. And it's also incredibly unique and hilarious." James Franco describes the characters as having "emotions that people can relate to" despite being "very silly". Rogan explained his friendship with Franco by saying "we get along really well. We're funny together." 'The Interview' is set for release on 25th December, 2014.
