Charlize Theron & Seth Rogen Get Political in LONG SHOT Trailer

First look at the upcoming comedy from Jonathan Levine (‘The Night Before,’ ‘50/50,’ ‘Warm Bodies’) about the unlikely romance between a hard-hitting political writer (Rogen) who reunites with his childhood crush, who now happens to be one of the most powerful women on earth.


Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron) is one of the most influential women in the world. Smart, sophisticated, and accomplished, she’s a powerhouse diplomat with a talent for…well, mostly everything. Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) is a gifted and free spirited journalist with a self-destructive streak. The two have nothing in common, except that she was his baby sitter and first crush. When Fred unexpectedly reunites with Charlotte, he charms her with his self-deprecating humour and his memories of her youthful idealism. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte impulsively hires Fred as her speechwriter, much to the dismay of her trusted advisors.

A fish out of water on Charlotte’s elite team, Fred is unprepared for her glamorous and high stakes lifestyle. However, sparks fly as their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-the-world romance that becomes embroiled in a series of dangerous and outlandish incidents.

LONG SHOT – Irish release date is May 3.
