Watch: James Franco, Jonah Hill get serious in 'True Story' trailer

James Franco and Jonah Hill are best known for their comedic chops, but the This is the End co-stars and Oscar nominees get serious in the trailer for True Story.

As the title implies, True Story is based on actual events. Franco is a murderer (Christian Longo) who for years went by the same name as Hill's journalist (Michael Finkel). Theory of Everything's Felicity Jones plays Hill's girlfriend.

If you're sad you missed seeing attempted murders and interviews in Franco's pulled-from-theaters The Interview, this clip should make you feel better.
