It seems that the subject matter of the Kim Jong-un assassination film The Interview was a problem at Sony long before they were hacked by a group hoping to stop the film's release. In emails that were leaked on Thursday, Sony Corporation Chief Executive Officer Kazuo Hirai writes Amy Pascal asking that scenes from the movie featuring Jong-un be removed or edited. Pascal then shares this information with the film's star, writer and director, Seth Rogen, who is none too happy.
