Why’s it Forgotten? The Interview (2014)


https://lebeauleblog.com/2018/07/19/whys-it-forgotten-the-interview-2014/

At one point, this movie was the most dangerous movie ever made. If it was released, North Korea was going to attack the United States. Nowadays, it airs on TBS alongside other forgotten mediocrities like the Katherine Heigl/Josh Duhamel opus Life As We Know It as if it was just a movie and nothing more. What happened?

I think what happened is that, well, it was released. As a movie itself, it was just okay and not particularly memorable. The stuff that happened to the movie was more interesting than the actual movie. I mean The Interview started a hack against an entire studio and it also caused Kim Jong-Un to threaten to bomb the U.S. It probably led the movie to become something of a legend. A movie that could cause us to be bombed? What movie could possibly be like that?

At first, Sony wasn’t going to release the movie. But that just grew the public’s fascination with this movie. What would happen if the movie was going to be released? Is this movie the new The Day The Clown Cried?

Maybe it's because not a lot of people saw it. And time went on, since it's 2014 theatrical release was cancelled.

Hey, what about movie "Life as we know it"
Whats wrong about this one?

Hard to believe this caused an international incident over ten years ago.

Wasn’t worth the hype/marketing

I think it would have done pretty well at the box office if released theatrically. Also I thought if was pretty good.

100% agree is was such a let down. Team America will probably never be topped. No movie will probably come close to being as good as that one was.
