While it seems like everyone from Hollywood to the White House has voiced their opinion on the controversial, North Korea-infuriating comedy The Interview , the film’s star James Franco has stayed mostly mum on the whole situation; the actor even showed up extremely late for Seth Rogen’s scheduled live-tweet of the film after it hit video-on-demand. Franco said, it’s a genuinely funny movie, but the older crowd also had these weird expectations that it would be Zero Dark Thirty or something, when I think what Seth and Co-writer Evan [Goldberg] did – which was great – was blend their normal, genuinely funny comedy with a subject that is pretty serious.
