Seth Rogen and James Franco are continuing to speak out about their controversial new film The Interview. The actors, who star as a talk-show host and his producer tasked by the CIA with assassinating North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, appeared on Tuesday’s Good Morning America in a taped interview, portions of which surfaced online on Monday.
Rogen said he wasn’t sure if the massive hack that hit Sony Pictures Entertainment is in fact due to The Interview, which the North Korean regime has repeatedly objected to, but he also said he can’t really connect his silly film to the multifaceted controversy.
“It is weird because we just wanted to make a really funny, entertaining movie,” Rogen said. “And the movie itself is very silly and it wasn’t meant to be controversial in any way.”
