if you make blockbusters using american actors, american crew, american directors and american producers you might as well be an american company

isn't kim jong moon like a huge hollywood movie buff though? like, you would think he would be honored to be the subject of a hollywood holiday blockbuster.

Kim Jong Il was a big movie buff and the world's greatest golfer. His son Kim Jong Un is just a goony beta.

Those actors, crew members, producers, and directors didn't make the choice to pull the film though.

Except the Japanese owners who are beholden to Japanese power dynamics.

Fear is probably that NK would kidnap Japanese or launch a coordinated attack on Japanese infrastructure. With that, you'd have some drat intense pressure from above to pull the movie.

This crosses the rubicon and is the first time a movie has led to threat of cyber attacks, which I'm aware of, and were threats with enough credibility to get the film pulled.

I planned to get around to watching it someday, hopefully it'll see some kind of release on blu ray or digitally. It'd be weird if they just scrapped releasing it altogether.

that could also be the missing piece of the story that is not public: pressure from the Japanese government. Still though this is a story about American media. When I checked bbc this was filed as American news, going to go out on an limb and say the DPRK is going to frame it as a victory over America as well

There's always that element, which makes it easier to pull the plug.

You set up a digital distribution through an unconnected shell, which you have loan your holding all revenue from the movie through Luxembourg, with no intent to pay the loan back nor any need.
