Update: On June 25th, a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman warned the United States that the release of Seth Rogen and James Franco’s political spoof The Interview — about a plot to assassinate leader Kim Jon-un — would be an “act of war that we will never tolerate”.
Seth Rogen responded on Twitter:
People don’t usually wanna kill me for one of my movies until after they’ve paid 12 bucks for it. Hiyooooo!!!

It’s an entertaining first look at Vancouver-filmed political spoof The Interview about Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer (Seth Rogen) of fictional talk show Skylark Tonight (shot at CBC Vancouver) who find out Kim Jon-un is a fan. En route to interview the North Korean leader they get entangled in a CIA plot to assassinate him.
