Raunchy comedy and political assassinations don't generally go hand-in-hand, but The Interview is no ordinary movie. The film, in which Seth Rogen and James Franco play a couple of hapless bozos tasked with killing North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, has already been condemned by the North Korean government — but a new, very not-safe-for-work trailer shows that The Interview hasn't imposed any kind of self-censorship.
Rogen and Franco play the team behind a fluffy celebrity interview show — but when they get the chance to go to North Korea and interview Kim Jong-un, the CIA steps in and asks them to assassinate him while they have the chance.
