Sony Cancels Release of 'The Interview'

[Hanley!]

^^ If anything, the alliance between the two countries would make the film less of a big deal though. It's easier to take it as a joke when the countries are allies. When relationships are tense between two countries, it doesn't take much to cause an incident.

Yes, true, but it's still rather surprising that a film which depicts the assassination of the actual President of the United States (as opposed to a fictionally written one) managed to not only find key funding and distribution, but cause little - if any - dissension or uproar. It's still a politically sensitive subject to explore, irrespective of country alliance and ideological friction. Also, making an English-language film about the assassination of the United States President is sure to reach a much more extensive audience in the Western world as opposed to a Korean-language film which would seldom see any theatrical mainstream light in North America.

On a brighter note, The Interview now has a registered 10/10 on its IMDb page. That is hilarious.

Might aswell change the thread title. Sony aren't cancelling it and are releasing it on Xmas day. How nice and convenient.

Really hope the movie sucks and everyone who paid for entry is left ruing that decision..

How interesting

It's good for the people involved with the making of the film that it's getting released, be pretty shitty if all that hard work and money went to waste. That said I'm still not interested in it, it's probably shit.

I will watch Team America again later though, awesome film.

I have seen a few critic reviews who say it's actually one of the better rogan/Franco films. One said that it is similar to pineapple express in that it's a action comedy instead of just a slapstick comedy, but leagues better than pineapple express

It currently has a 9.8 on IMDB.

Pineapple Express is one of my favourite movies and I can't imagine many comedy being much better. But I have had high hopes for this movie ever since I first heard about it.

Just downloaded it and will watch it in a little bit. Not expecting much since I'm not big on Rogen(other than Zack and Miri) or Franco but the previews looked good.




I'm watching it now and I can definately see why Kim Jong un would be pretty pissed off about this movie lol. But it's hilarious so far

[JDD]

I rented it on Google Play and just finished watching it. I really enjoyed it. It was funny. As far as Rogen movies go, its no Pineapple Express but I still think its worth a watch if your a fan of his. For $6 its definatley worth te rental if you're in the mood for a dumb comedy.
