First Look at 2 New Film Trailers: 'Dumb and Dumber To,' and 'The Interview,' Starring Seth Rogen and James Franco [Watch]
Ready, Set, Go! For the fall movies that are already releasing their trailers. This week, the long awaited sequel to "Dumb and Dumber" debuted its trailer with "Dumb and Dumber To," and the Seth Rogen and James Franco action-comedy "The Interview" also made its way.
The first "Dumb and Dumber" film made most audiences laugh until they cried back in 1994, with the cross country shenanigans and kindness of two good-natured guys, played by
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, whose characters were also very stupid or very dumb in this case. And now, 20 years later, a 2003 prequel movie "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd," and an animated TV series "Dumb and Dumber" later, Carrey and Daniels look like they have both jumped back into their roles with ease and hilarity.
The premise of this film is that 20 years later, these dimwits set out on their newest adventure, but they head out in search of one of their long lost children, so that they can gain a new kidney. There is a lot of jokes about the elderly, family, and Carrey and Daniels acting, well, dumb, crazy and funny.
In a perhaps more serious commentary about politics through comedy, the comedy duo of Rogen and Franco reveal to audiences "The Interview." In this action-comedy, Dave Skylark, played by Franco, and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Rogen) manage and run a popular celebrity tabloid TV show titled "Skylark Tonight." The duo soon discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show; this might be their break in becoming "real" journalists. However, as they prepare to travel, they get recruited by the CIA to assassinate the North Korean dictator.
Does this remind you of Dennis Rodman and his time with Jong-un? Rogen told Entertainment Weekly that this story is not based on that at all. Rogen and his long time writing partner and co-director, Evan Goldberg, had written a version of this script before Rodman flew to North Korea. Franco also confirmed that when the movie went into pre-production, Rodman just started going there.
Both films come out this fall. "Dumb and Dumber To" comes out Oct. 10, and "The Interview" is out Nov. 14.
