The Hollywood Reporter confirms funny-man Seth Rogen will star in, produce, and co-direct The Interview for Columbia Pictures.
Rogen will share his director duties with long-time pal and collaborator Evan Goldberg (Pineapple Express) and may even re-team with his Freaks and Geeks co-star James Franco.
Goldberg and Rogen co-wrote the screenplay based on a story they wrote with Dan Sterling (The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) about “a handsome talk show host and his producer who find themselves in way over their heads when they get involved in a plot to assassinate the prime minister of North Korea.”
If cast, Franco is believed to play the handsome talk show host while Rogen would tackle the producer role.
Rogen and Franco will next be seen together in This is the End, out in cinemas June 27, 2013.
