The Supreme Leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, has officially condemned movie stars Seth Rogen and James Franco. This comes in response to their upcoming film The Interview, which tells the story of two celebrity journalists played by Franco and Rogen, who are recruited by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong Un.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Kim Myong-chol, executive director of The Centre for North Korea-US Peace and an unofficial spokesman for ‘Dear Leader’ Kim Jong Un, has spoken up about the comedy film: “There is a special irony in this storyline as it shows the desperation of the US government and American society. A film about the assassination of a foreign leader mirrors what the US has done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine. And let us not forget who killed (President John F.) Kennedy – Americans.”
Rogen seemed unfazed by the condemnation, and even tweeted out:
Apparently Kim Jong Un plans on watching #TheInterview. I hope he likes it!! http://t.co/5VrsgYlydE
