Everything changes, though, when they are recruited by the CIA to assassinate the dictator.

The Interview was filmed late last year in and around Vancouver, which stood in for North Korea. It was directed by Rogen and his creative partner (and fellow Vancouver native) Evan Goldberg.

Rogen and Franco previously starred together in last year’s This is The End and 2008’s Pineapple Express.

The Interview is due in theatres in October.
