North Korean government-controlled website Uriminzokkiri has released a statement saying that the film by James Franco and Seth Rogen is an "evil act of provocation" that deserves "stern punishment."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the statement added that the cheekiness to show this conspiracy movie 'The Interview,' which is comprised of utter distortions of the truth and absurd imaginations, is an evil act of provocation against their highly dignified republic and an insult against their righteous people.

It continued that the trashy filmmakers, who, won over by a few dollars thrown to them by conspirators, have compromised the dignity and conscience of filmmaking and dared to produce and direct such a film that depicts a farcical mission to assassinate Kim Jong Un.

 

The secretive regime added that how pitiful the U.S. is, desperately scrambling to tear down the authority of North Korea's republic that grows mightier by the day, with a shabby movie, now that no pressure or threat has worked.

The movie is set to release on December 25.
