The official trailer has been released for "Long Shot," a new political-tinged romantic comedy starring Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron.

Directed by Jonathan Levine (The Night Before, 50/50), the film is set against the backdrop of American politics.

Rogen plays a freewheeling, overly neurotic journalist named Fred Flarsky, who reconnects with his childhood crush, his former baby-sitter, who now happens to be the most powerful woman in America -- the current US Secretary of State, Charlotte Field (played here by Charlize Theron).

So, when Charlotte is given the once-in-a-lifetime chance to run for the Oval Office, she decides to hire Fred to punch up her campaign speeches. They soon travel across the world together as Fred tries to get to know Charlotte a little better. They develop genuine feelings for each other. But their unconventional romance may end up risking her presidential aspirations -- not to mention risking national security.

The cast also includes O'Shea Jackson Jr., June Diane Raphael, Bob Odenkirk, Ravi Patel, Andy Serkis, Randall Park, and Alexander Skarsgard with a special guest appearance by Boyz II Men.

Produced by Rogen, Theron, and Evan Goldberg and written by Dan Sterling (The Interview) and Liz Hannah (The Post), "Long Shot" is hitting theaters May 3rd.

synopsis:
He's a hard-hitting political writer with a talent for trouble. She's the country's top diplomat with a talent for ... well, everything.

When Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) reunites with his first crush who also happens to be the current US Secretary of State, Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron), he charms her with his self-deprecating humor and his memories of her youthful idealism. As she prepares to make a surprise run for the Oval Office, Charlotte hires Fred to punch up her campaign speeches and their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-the-world affair. But Fred's carefree indiscretions, past and present, could bring down her campaign before it even begins. The film redefines "international relations" with a profane, funny and unexpected love.
