Did you guess Kim Jong-un? Then well done you. Turns out his feelings were kinda hurt that Rogen and Franco made a movie where they try to murder him. Go figure. A representative for Kim Jong-un gave a statement to The Telegraph that is a solid mix of ominous death threat and snide teenage bitterness.
“There is a special irony in this storyline as it shows the desperation of the US government and American society,” he told The Telegraph.“A film about the assassination of a foreign leader mirrors what the US has done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine,” he added. “And let us not forget who killed [President John F.] Kennedy - Americans.
“In fact, President [Barack] Obama should be careful in case the US military wants to kill him as well,” Kim Myong-chol said.
Kim Myong-chol dismissed Hollywood movies as being “full of assassinations and executions” and expressed the opinion that British films are far better and more realistic.
“James Bond is a good character and those films are much more enjoyable,” he said.
The representative did say, though, that Kim Jong-un would still probably see the movie, despite it’s lack of Bond. So… that’ll show ‘em.
Apparently Kim Jong Un plans on watching #TheInterview. I hope he likes it!! http://t.co/5VrsgYlydE
