the film the interview is one of the most recent banning of a film due to political and blasphemous content. It sparked critical reviews and had the potential to cause controversy with the already unstable north korea.
Dave Skylark, host of the talk show Skylark Tonight, interviews celebrities about personal topics and gossip. After Dave and his crew celebrate their 1,000th episode, Aaron Rapoport, the show's producer, is upset by a person from the same business, criticizing Skylark Tonight as not being a real news program as it only covers entertainment and gossips. A while later after Aaron reveals his concern and urge for change, which Dave agrees. Dave discovers that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is a fan of Skylark Tonight, prompting Aaron to arrange an interview. Aaron travels to rural China to receive instructions from Sook-yin Park, the North Korean chief propagandist, and Aaron accepts the task of interviewing Kim, on behalf of Dave. The next day, CIA Agent Lacey shows up at Dave and Aaron's place, proposing that Dave and Aaron assassinate Kim. After watching the trailer it is clear to see just how it could spark contreversy for political reasons, it has a false depiction of political leader kim-jong-il and the fact they are given the task to kill him. this may have caused an issue as the unstable state of korea was not a fan of america to begin with, and so the film had potential to make a situation even worse.
