LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Seth Rogen and James Franco star in a new, red-band trailer for The Interview.

The 32-year-old actor portrays Aaron Rapoport, a producer on a tabloid television show, alongside Franco as David Skylark, the program's anchor. The pair enjoy their near-celebrity status and constant partying, but Rapoport also longs to do more serious work. He and Skylark get the chance to interview North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, and are instructed by the C.I.A. to assassinate the dictator.

The Interview was directed by Rogen and longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg. Lizzy Caplan, Randall Park, Timothy Simons and Charles Rahi Chun also star, with a cameo by Rob Lowe. The movie's subject matter led North Korea to condemn the film, and the feature will be altered in response to the outrage.
