The Interview | Limited Release on December 25, 2014

^^ You should be pissed at our theatrical chains and Sony.

[Chewy]

I got love for Seth and James but I'm sorry, this was a HORRIBLE idea for a movie.  America and North Korea aren't really friends yes but making a mock killing of another countries president who's still alive shouldn't of killed the project from day 1.  Seth is a better writer than this.   Like who thought this concept was even funny?  I will watch the movie on home video but It's sad it took this "Leak" for this happen.  Honestly the movie should of never been greenlit off premise alone.  Imagine North Korea or even China doing a movie about killing Obama, Americans would be outraged.  

 

Idk, plenty of Americans hate Obama a billion times more than the North Koreans do

[The Futurist]

What was the exact plot of Team America, I can't recalll ...

[AniNate]

Imagine North Korea or even China doing a movie about killing Obama, Americans would be outraged.  

 

Maybe, but we wouldn't be hacking into the studio making violent threats.

This has happened before with North Korea, it's called Team America. Nothing happened. I don't think it would have been reasonable for them to block it from the start on the grounds that it was dangerous to do.

As for humour - the marketing has been well received and although Team America flopped at the box office, it's well-loved and it's pretty funny. Humour can work in any context, it's just about execution.

[Ethan Hunt]

Eh... I thought the film's plot was kind of offensive ( not to me personally, obviously but still offensive)

[cookie]

Fucking Rogen and Franco will be the cause of WW3. Just great.

yes, it should have taken place in a fictional country with a fictional  character. Using real world events is stupid and this movie deserves to lose money

I'm pissed at everyone involved in this situation except for Rogen, Franco, and people involved directly with the film. Including Sony.

[Chewy]

Anyway, it's super lame that people are blaming this situation on the creatives. They made their movie. Artistic freedom, freedom of speech, yadayadayada

[filmscholar]

But there would outraged period.  It's just too controversial of a concept.  Was it worth it in the end?  Not only did this mess cause the Sony Leak which exposed Hollywood Executives at there worst but now the movie won't be released in major theaters and they will lose even more money off the project.  It wasn't worth it. Again, I like Seth and James a lot.  Those are my guys but this wasn't a funny concept, sorry.

Kim Jong-il has WMDs and must be stopped.

[filmscholar]

Maybe, but we wouldn't be hacking into the studio making violent threats.

 

The "Hack" was payback yes but the movie should of never been greenlit IMO. 

[filmscholar]

Yes I remember "Team America". It bombed horribly.  But it was animation/stop motion.  So people bushed it off even though it was about Kim.

[Frozen]

The movie version of this scandal is already in the works.

 

The Last Interview, starring Ben Affleck as Seth Rohan, a struggling Hollywood producer whose film accidentally starts WW3. When all seems lost, Rohan and his friend James Frencho (played by Chris Pine) head out on a dangerous mission to confront North Korea's leader and save America!

[redfirebird2008]

Safe to say biggest Hollywood clusterfuck in a long, long, LONG time...maybe ever?

[Chewy]

Again, I like Seth and James a lot.  Those are my guys but this wasn't a funny concept, sorry. 

 

So? There was outrage about Ben Affleck being cast as Batman. There's outrage about everything. Bowing to outrage is lame when the creatives stand behind their vision

[Blankments]

This is probably the first news in a long while that makes me actively pissed off at everything.

 

I might see Annie this weekend honestly to just give Sony some cash. Rather would just give it to Rogen but eh.

[filmlover]

Go figure that James Franco would be the one to start World War 3. Always knew he had it in him!
