It is to be shown on xmas day in some cinemas and potentially in on demand video.

We're it not for the fact that the FBI seem to think N Korea really were behind this, I'd be inclined to think this was the work of some smelly ex-employee with a grudge.
And therefore unlikely to result in carnage unless of course he has a loaded gun and is not afraid to use it which of course is more than possible.
And actually probably more dangerous than N Korea as a matter of fact which has a record of making threats with little or no back-up.
Easy for me to sit here and say that of course.

[youngmafbog]

Yes, well you may have something there.

It would not be too difficult to make something appear to originate from Korea, I doubt their all servers are brilliantly defended so just bounce it off one from anywhere in the world.

What exactly is the film about?

[andres]

Don't know why they made this film in the first place. Just hope the threats are idle .

[youngmafbog]

It is a 'comedy' about the assassination of the Nth Korean leader.

By all accounts, a particularly average film.

[ummmm]

Great publicity though!!

[BlackadderV]

North Korea would be a comedy in itself, were it not for the fact that it is also a tragedy. It is China, and China alone which props up this basket case of a regime. Without Chinese help it would have disappeared long ago and Korea would be reunited.

Absolutely great publicity, what is probably a crap film at best will gain a cult following and earn Sony a good few quid.

[bookbinder]

Leaving aside the politics of this subject; it was a tactless idea to start with, and it is not surprising that the North Korean government is annoyed about it. However, the reactions on both sides are just childish.
