Check out this list to find the next movie that will make you do a movie theater soda spit-take!

  • Who's starring: Clark Duke, Craig Robinson, and Rob Corddry all reprise their roles, while Adam Scott joins the sequel.
  • Why you should be interested: The first movie was ridiculous, and the sequel will be too — plus, Scott is in the cast now! He makes a more-than-worthy replacement for John Cusack.

The Interview

  • Who's starring: James Franco plays a journalist sent to interview, then assassinate, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, and Seth Rogen plays his producer.
  • Why you should be interested: Well, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a real person, and the movie is already ruffling feathers politically. We're curious to see how far these guys go.
  • When it comes out: Dec. 25
  • Watch the trailer for The Interview.
