I wonder who seriously gave the 'green light' to make that movie? Did they honestly think there wouldn't be any backlash to it? Stupid decision just to get a few laughs at best.

I see movies about assassinating the US president all the time and I dont see them all up in arms over it =P

1. I'm sure none of the movies about assassinating the US president were based off an actual president.  Whereas this is.

2. N. Korea's leader and their country are extremely sensitive so I think everybody knows it's not fun to joke with them.

1. Use google before you write definitives, see Death of a President (2006), which is a British Mockumentary regarding the Assassination of President Bush.  Pretty sure the US didn't wage cyber warfare on the UK for it.

2. That North Korea is sensitive to it, doesn't make it right.  Reminds me of the cowing of the worlds media after the Danish Muhammad cartoons.  Despicable cowardice by news media around the world.  Just because your country, or faith believes something, doesn't mean everyone else in the world has to care.

Well say what you want but look, if you saw the trailer of The Interview and thought that N.Korea would just laugh it off and do nothing then you're truly mistaken or blinded.  Everybody is different and you can't assume that things will go lightly just cause you think it should.
