    North Korea has promised "merciless" retaliation if a forthcoming Hollywood movie about killing Kim Jong-un is released, say agencies.

    A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman said in state media that the movie's release would be an "act of war".

    He did not mention the title, but a Hollywood movie called The Interview with a similar plot is due in October.

    Hollywood actors James Franco and Seth Rogen star in the action-comedy film.

    They play a talkshow host and his producer who are invited to interview Kim Jong-un, and are subsequently recruited by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to assassinate the leader.

    Once Jay Baruchel isn't in it they have nothing to be angry about.

    How about we hand over Franco and Rogan as a substitute for war?, a win win situation really.

    Everything will be ok now that North Korea released their normal strongly worded statement.
    They used the code word 'Merciless' - means a strongly worded statement has been released.

    Better and cheaper to nuke it back to before the Stone Age.

    It would be better to get journalists in and assassinate the leader...

    I think this is a war worth fighting. I watched Pineapple Express recently and laughed my ass off.

    Death to the North Koreans!

    North Korea is the world's version of that understood chap in school who everyone picks on but is afraid they'll snap one day.

    I know Seth Rogan is a rubbish actor, but threatening to go to war over this is a bit extreme...... How shìt is this film?!

    Sounds like a made up story to be honest. Especially if it's the US reporting it.

    If they made a movie about killing obama you can bet there'd be hell to pay

    Great bit of PR for an otherwise mediocre movie :rolleyes:
