Final Trailer for THE INTERVIEW - “Meet Kim Jong-Un”
The final trailer has been released for the James Franco and Seth Rogen Kim Jong-Un assassination comedy, The Interview. The trailer is called “Meet Kim Jong-Un,” and it’s loaded with hilarious new footage from the movie. In an interview with Commingsoon.net, Rogen talked about their plan for shooting the film and what they were tying to accomplish.
“We actually based it more on political thrillers like Ridley Scott movies and Michael Mann movies. We tried to use a lot of long lenses and we probably played some of the scenes tighter than they generally would in these types of comedies. To us, the fact that it looks kind of serious and has this weight to it makes it funnier, because it really looks like we’re stuck in like a serious political thriller.”
You can tell from the trailers that they had a ton of fun making this flick. Here’s the synopsis for the action comedy:
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 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 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 movie is set to be released on December 25th, 2014.
