Ok... it's just for strange stories like this that I love the entertainment industry. Watching their real life antics is more popcorn worthy than some of their works!
So, there's this Seth Rogen and James Franco movie coming out called The Interview. I like Seth Rogen. I like James Franco. But if I'm real- they've been sort of hit and miss with their movies. This one seemed pretty much a miss, and when released, would have probably sunk like a heavy stone.
...but then you add in Kim Jong-un...
North Korea says Seth Rogen's new movie is an 'act of war' (via The Verge)
North Korea denounces James Franco and Seth Rogen's Kim Jong Un movie (via The LA Times)
I think he's just given them a lift from the publicity. Sometimes, people just don't know when to shut up.

Apparently he's never met Barbra Streisand..

It's saddening to see it going this way for him. He's got the big guns lining up... (via washington post)
... people missed the point. And I still don't see why actors give interviews about anything other than... acting. A 9 hour interview sliced up with the juiciest parts to get people frothing. You can still see the point if you look hard enough, and realize that it was slanted. But... no one does.

I'm not sure how that movie will be.
But the topic of assassinating heads of state is an interesting one. I'd love to see one come out about assassinating the POTUS. The media circus would be just hilarious! Forget the movie - the real drama would be Fox vs. MSNBC and all that nonsense. :)
All the self-righteous "principled" people would come out after and condemn the entire idea of a movie about assassinating any head of state (in a lame attempt to be "bipartisan"). Pointing out Seth & James' new flick would then be a wonderfully hilarious way to point out the hypocrisy.
But, I'm just dreaming... It would be entertaining to see though! :D

It's a comedy, however. And it looks like a bad comedy. Like I said, it's just better to ignore it.
As far as movies about assassinating the POTUS...
