epa04538557 (FILE) An undated handout picture released by the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on 27 April 2014 shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (C) looking at a computer screen along with soldiers of a long-range artillery unit at an undisclosed location in North Korea. North Korea’s internet connection to the outside world was cut for more than nine hours on 23 December 2014, experts said. The news prompted widespread speculation of an attack, possibly by the United States, after US President Obama promised a ’proportional response’ to recent hacking against Sony Pictures. The attacks were followed by physical threats against cinemas scheduled to show Sony-produced comedy ’The Interview’, in which an unflatteringly portrayed North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is the target of an assasination plot by US reporters working for the CIA.

NEW YORK. Proiezione notturna con sorpresa a Los Angeles per la prima di 'The Interview'. Tra gli spettatori che sono andati a mezzanotte e mezza al Cinefamily, sono arrivati anche Seth Rogen e Evan Goldberg, co-protagonista e co-regista del film: "Grazie, fottutamente tanto, a tutti, per essere venuti. Credevamo che questo non sarebbe mai successo", ha detto Rogen alle persone entrate in sala. Da oggi il controverso film satirico, che racconta un fantasioso attentato al leader nordcoreano Kim Jong-un, viene proiettato in circa 300 sale cinematografiche indipendenti in tutti gli stati Uniti, dopo che da ieri e' disponibile anche in streaming online attraverso Google Play, YouTube Movies, Microsoft's Xbox Video e un sito web chiamato www.seetheinterview.com, sia per il noleggio che per l'acquisto. "Se non fosse per cinema come questo, e per persone come voi, ora questo non sarebbe davvero fottutamente successo", ha detto ancora Rogen, riferendosi al rifiuto delle grandi catene cinematografiche di proiettare il film e alla decisione iniziale della Sony Pictures di cancellare la distribuzione di 'The Interview', gia' prevista per oggi. Una decisione assunta in seguito all'attacco e alle minacce che la Sony ha subito nelle settimane scorse da un gruppo di hacker, che secondo l'Fbi sono nordcoreani. La casa di produzione cinematografica ha però poi fatto marcia indietro, in seguito alle polemiche e alle critiche che le sono state rivolte, anche dal presidente Barack Obama, che aveva definito "un errore" la cancellazione delle proiezioni.
