After all the controversy surrounding Sony's "The Interview" and North Korea's absurd threats, the studio withdrew the film from theaters but ultimately decided to release it via VOD (Watch on iTunes here). To mark the film's release we have three new TV spots. While the controversy itself and the reactions of everyone involved could easily be the subject of an equally absurd comedy, the film did manage to gross $18 million since its Christmas Day release, with $15 million coming from VOD sales. The film stars James Franco, Seth Rogen, Lizzy Caplan, Diana Bang and Charles Rahi Chun.

Official Synopsis
"In the action-comedy The Interview, Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show “Skylark Tonight.” When they discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least-qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un."
