The Interview
In the action-comedy The Interview, Dave Skylark (Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Rogen) run a popular celebrity tabloid TV show. When they discover that North Korean leader 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 for travel, their plans change when the CIA recruits them to 'take out' Kim Jong-un.
