The Interview.The film, which centres on a TV host and producer enlisted by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong-un, saw hackers infiltrate employees at Sony Pictures and release thousands of private company emails to the public in 2014.As a result the movie, which also starred James Franco, was released through streaming services such as Netflix instead of getting a standard wide cinema release in the US.Eventually being shown in selected cinemas, it was released in the UK in February 2015.Speaking about the hacking, Rogen told Cinema Blend that he hasn’t worked on a movie with Evan Goldberg. Instead, the pair opted to helm TV shows such as Preacher and Future Man.“Truthfully, after The Interview we were a little traumatised, I think.
