North Korea: James Franco and Seth Rogen Need to be Punished

Date:

North Korea condemns James Franco and Seth Rogen for the new movie ‘The Interview’.

Prior to the movie’s release, North Korea’s government says the stars of the upcoming feature film, The Interview, deserve a “stern punishment”.

North Korean government-controlled website Uriminzokkiri released a statement on Friday calling  The Interview a conspiracy movie.

The statement denounces the film that depicts a mission to assassinate Kim Jong Un.

“The cheekiness to show this conspiracy movie, which is comprised of utter distortions of the truth and absurd imaginations, is an evil act of provocation against our highly dignified republic and an insult against our righteous people,” it says, going on to criticize the filmmakers.

“The trashy filmmakers, who, won over by a few dollars thrown to them by conspirators, have compromised the dignity and conscience of filmmaking and dared to produce and direct such a film. They must be subject to our stern punishment.”

The writer continues to argue that the U.S. is trying to “threaten the authority” of the North Korean government.

“How pitiful the U.S. is, desperately scrambling to tear down the authority of our republic that grows mightier by the day, with a shabby movie, now that no pressure or threat has worked.”

Columbia Pictures releases The Interview on Christmas Day.
