Seth Rogen Crashes The Interview Screening: ‘Super F*cking Exciting’
The Interview star Seth Rogen and directing partner Evan Goldberg made a surprise appearance at a West Hollywood screening of The Interview, their comedy that induced a global conflagration.
“We thought this would never happen,” Rogen said told the crowd at his neighborhood theater, adding that the fact that people had come out to see the movie “is super fucking exciting!”

“If it wasn’t for theaters like this, and for people like you guys, this literally would not be fucking happening,” he said to cheers.
Sony pulled the film after theater chains declined to screen it, following threats from a possibly North Korean-backed or affiliated group called Guardians of Peace. The studio underwent extreme criticism for what many called a capitulation to terrorists, and reversed course two days ago, allowing select independent theaters to screen the film, and streaming it for $6 on a variety of services.
