Sony is so excited about the new Seth Rogen – James Franco movie about assassinating North Korea’s Kim Jong Un that the studio is moving the film from October to a Christmas Day release. The comedy “The Interview” directed by Rogen had been called an “act of war” by the North Korean government.

The LA Times reports that Sony’s president of worldwide distribution Rory Bruer said – “We’re thrilled to be making the move to Christmas — one of the most important moviegoing days of the year and the perfect date to show off their brand of comedy.”

The plot involves a popular tabloid TV show host (Franco) and his producer (Rogen) who score an interview with Kin Jong Un when they’re enlisted by the CIA to assassinate him. It should be the feel-good movie of the holiday season.
