North Korea Threatens War If New Seth Rogen Film Isn’t Banned 0 Shares 0 Shares North Korea has threatened a “resolute and merciless” response against the US unless it bans a film about an attempt to assassinate the country’s leader, Kim Jong-un. In its first official comment on The Interview, a comedy directed by Evan Goldberg, North Korea warned the US government that failure to stop the film being released would be considered an “act of war”. In the film, Seth Rogen and James Franco play celebrity TV journalists who secure an exclusive interview with Kim, but are then recruited by the CIA to assassinate him. Apparently Kim Jong Un plans on watching #TheInterview. I hope he likes it!! http://t.co/5VrsgYlydE — Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) June 20, 2014 The film had sparked “a gust of hatred and rage” among the North Korean citizens and soldiers, the official said, although ordinary North Koreans are probably unaware of its existence and, with very few exceptions, will never get to see it. And it has directly touched a nerve with Kim Jong-Un. Well that’s fucking great, cheers America. online poll by Opinion Stage Get Uni Lad In Your Inbox Sending you trending shit first Follow @UniLadMag Comments
