No surprisingly, North Korea’s beloved leader Kim Jong-un does not have a sense of humor and as such he’s pretty mad at comedians James Franco and Seth Rogen, who star in a new movie “The Interview” which is about the two assassinating the infamous little leader. He first called the movie an ‘insult’ and before he picks up all his toys and goes home and now angry little guy is back with some fighting words.
The comedians who partnered with Evan Goldberg find humor in pushing the boundaries, but their latest film may have sparked an international conflict with North Korea’s leader who is now claiming the movie is an act of war.
In the movie, Rogen and Franco play a talkshow host and producer who go to North Korea to interview dictator Kim Jong-un and are subsequently recruited by the U.S. government to assassinate him. After the trailer was released earlier this month, North Korea’s government publicly announced, “[this] shows the desperation of the US government and American society.”
“Making and releasing a movie on a plot to hurt our top-level leadership is the most blatant act of terrorism and war and will absolutely not be tolerated,” a spokesperson said. “If the US administration allows and defends the showing of the film, a merciless counter-measure will be taken.”
The U.S government has yet to respond to the Kim-Jong-un’s temper tantrum and threats of war.
Despite their threats, North Korean officials reportedly say that Kim Jong-un plans to watch the movie once it comes out. Sounds like a ratings win for Rogen and crew.
Watch the preview that got the dictator in a dither:

A small, cruel man with a big mouth.
If Kim thinks that a Seth Rogan movie is funny — then no wonder he thinks Dennis Rodman is Michael Jordan.
You mean that this time an attack could actually be about a video?
Enough about Obama, this is about Kim.
Has Obama arrested Rogen and Franco yet?
And a large army. Kim Il-sung sent assassins after South Korean President Chun in 1983:
On October 9, 1983, President Chun Doo-hwan was on an official visit to Rangoon, the capital of Burma. During the visit he planned to lay a wreath at the Martyrs' Mausoleum to commemorate Aung San, one of the founders of independent Burma who was assassinated in 1947.[3] As some of the president's staff began assembling at the mausoleum, one of three bombs concealed in the roof exploded. The huge blast ripped through the crowd below, killing 21 people and wounding 46 others.[3] Three senior South Korean politicians were killed: foreign minister Lee Beom-seok; economic planning minister and deputy prime minister, Suh Suk Joon; and minister for commerce and industry, Kim Dong Whie.[4] 14 Korean presidential advisers, journalists, and security officials were killed; four Burmese nationals, including three journalists, were also among the dead.[5] President Chun was saved because his car had been delayed in traffic and was only minutes from arriving at the memorial. The bomb was reportedly detonated early because the presidential bugle which signaled Chun's arrival mistakenly rang out a few minutes ahead of schedule.[3]Compared to a South Korean president, Hollywood figures are very soft targets. I'm surprised some of these folks have been so blase about the risk they're taking in whaling on the Kim dynasty. While the Kims deserve all the ridicule they're getting, they have been known to go after their enemies hammer and tongs.
They'll flood the Internet with nude photos of Hillary Clinton.
Safer to pick on Christians.
Has Obama apologized to North Korea and had the director of the film arrested yet (see Benghazi)....
I’m not sure, but I think the subject has to be Islamic before Obama gets in a tizzy.
Obvious hype for another crappie movie. How is it Kim Jong-Il in a purgatory like N. Korea has seen an un-released movie? Save your money, your going to need it.
When the Seoul Olympics were announced, the North began work on a dam on the Han River, with which they could threaten to flood Seoul. The south responded with a “counter dam” which would catch the flood waters north of Seoul and (hopefully) flood North Korea instead. For ‘tis sport to see the engineer hoist on his own petard.
This is an insane country.
If an American ambassador is murdered over this film will the film makers get arrested????
