Sony previously moved the Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy The Interview to Christmas Day, an interesting decision considering the number of movies coming out that day, one of them being another comedy, Hot Tub Time Machine 2. Two R-rated movies on Christmas Day? Best of luck…
In the film James Franco plays Dave Skylark, he and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show “Skylark Tonight.” When they discover that North Korean dictator 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.
