Update: Is North Korea responsible for the recent hack into Sony Pictures Entertainment, the studio behind The Interview? See Re/code.

Political spoof The Interview is about a fictional New York talk show host Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer (Seth Rogen) who discover Kim Jon Un is a fan of their show, Skylark Tonight. Before the pair head to Asia to interview the North Korean leader, a femme fatale CIA agent (Lizzy Caplan) seduces them into an assassination plot. What could go wrong? Vancouver’s own Seth Rogen is a triple threat in this movie: producing and co-directing The Interview with childhood friend and longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, as well as starring in it with fellow Freaks & Geeks alumni James Franco and Lizzy Caplan.
