Now North Korea is going so far as to send a letter to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon demanding that the movie be banned, according to Reuters.
The letter is dated June 27th, but Reuters just got their hands on it.
They say the letter accuses the U.S. of sponsoring terrorism and committing an act of war.
The premise of "The Interview" revolves around an American TV host and his producer getting an interview with Kim Jong-Un. That's when the CIA recruits them to kill the polarizing North Korean dictator.
The letter to the U.N. came from North Korea's U.N. Ambassador Ja Song Nam who wrote, according to Reuters, "To allow the production and distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent head of a sovereign state should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as an act of war."
On June 25th, when the story first came out, Rogen took to Twitter to address the dispute:
People don't usually wanna kill me for one of my movies until after they've paid 12 bucks for it. Hiyooooo!!!
