Political spoof The Interview turned Robson Square into North Korea overnight for a scene of Skylark Tonight talk show host (James Franco) roughhousing with his producer (Seth Rogen) by a statue of North Korea’s Kim Jon-un. This doesn’t go over well with a North Korean soldier. Somehow these Manhattan media elites get entangled in a plot to kill [the North Korean leader]. How does that happen? Blame Lizzy Caplan’s femme fatale CIA agent, who seduces Franco’s New York talk show host into the assassination plot.
The scene: Manhattan media elites roughhousing by Kim Jon-Un statue in Robson Square.
James Franco spots all the spectators on Robson Street.

People flocked to Robson Street to watch the shoot and a CTV cameraman filmed me taking a photo of the scene. Already people’s twitpics and instagrams are flooding Twitter. BFFs Seth Rogen and James Franco know how to promote a movie. Just look at their parody of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s naked on a motorcycle music video Bound.
