That isn't the title of the film but according to the BBC that lovely chappy Kim is not happy with the up coming film "The Interview" and has threatened war with the US if it is released, here is a trailer:
And here is the news story:
Now it does seem very extreme of the bloke to threaten war over being mocked in a film however they have to have known that this had the potential to stir up a lot of anger and hate. I remember when I watched "Death of a President" which was basically aimed at George Bush many people were rightly upset about it. I never liked Bush but putting a story of his death on screen in a very real fashion is something I felt uncomfortable with.
What do you think though? Is it okay to mock him in such a way? Is this just a comedy and therefore it is okay or should they take this with a lever of severity?
And here is the news story:
North Korea threatens war on US over Kim Jong-un movie
North Korea has promised "merciless" retaliation if a forthcoming Hollywood movie about killing Kim Jong-un is released, say agencies.
A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said in state media that the movie's release would be an "act of war".
He did not mention the title, but a Hollywood movie called The Interview with a similar plot is due in October.
Hollywood actors James Franco and Seth Rogen star in the action-comedy film.
They play a talkshow host and his producer who are invited to interview Kim Jong-un, and are subsequently recruited by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to assassinate the leader.
