Seth Rogen Walks Red Carpet At Castro Theater's Premiere Of 'The Interview' That Angered North Korea

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) -- Seth Rogen walked the red carpet at the Castro Theater Tuesday night for the premiere of a movie that has stirred tempers in North Korea.

The film titled "The Interview" featuring Rogen and co-star James Franco as two reporters trying to assassinate Kim Jong Un for the CIA has been called a "wanton act of terror" by the dictatorship.

"I think once he sees the movie he might be less unhappy. Or way more unhappy. Who knows?" Rogen said.

The studio behind the film made some changes to try to calm tensions.

"Some of the stuff they decided we should change for fear of a lawsuit from North Korea, and some of the stuff was ultimately deemed okay," Rogen told KPIX 5.

North Korea threatened a "resolute and merciless response" unless the U.S. stopped the film's release.
