North Korea Threatens US Over James Franco + Seth Rogen Film

On Monday (June 23) we told you all about how North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un was not happy about the upcoming Seth Rogen/James Franco flick The Interview, which is centered around the assassination of Un.

And now North Korea has threatened the US if they do not ban the film.

We know, we know, that's UN-believable.

According to a spokesperson for the country, "The act of making and screening such a movie that portrays an attack on our top leadership... is a most wanton act of terror and act of war, and is absolutely intolerable."

They would go on to say that failure to stop the release of the film in October would result in a "resolute and merciless response" against the United States from the North Korean government.

Rogen was also referred to as a "gangster filmmaker" in the statement.

Thus far neither Rogen, Franco nor the US has responded to the regime's statement.
