The film industry consultant Efraim Levy warned against the Associated Press, the result of Sony’s tactics could be a pivotal point to films, the “hurt anyone.” “The artistic freedom is at stake.”
Also, North Korea thriller stopped
The terrorist threats because “The Interview” also affect other Hollywood projects.

indiscriminately from “a heap dictatorships “picked
It lacks here is a certain irony that Hollywood just for” throws or must cast Interview “in the breach. As well as leading actor, director and writer Seth Rogen admitted, is “The Interview” only be irreverent romp. You’ve just “a bunch of dictatorships scours” and opted for those who have made the most bizarre background for the rough film dud, so Rogen recently in an interview with the AP.

Unlike some of puppet movie “Team America” from 2004, which, inter alia actually practiced bitter criticism of the North Korean regime in Klamaukgewand, is “The Interview” politically almost harmless.
