In an effort to support “free speech,” or maybe just get a bit of mileage out of the whole The Interview debacle, Hustler boss Larry Flynt announced he is producing a porn parody of the controversial movie. With the film set to be released early in 2015, Kim Jong-Un will likely be extremely upset.
The Interview has been pulled from theaters due to the threat of hackers, allegedly linked to North Korea, who attacked Sony’s servers. It seems somewhat of a waste not to show the movie, with President Barack Obama, as well as Hollywood A-listers Sean Penn and George Clooney criticizing the move by Sony.
While the hack attack on Sony continues to release interesting scandals, Hustler has come up with a serious plan. According to Hollywood Reporter , on Saturday, Flynt announced plans to release a parody version of The Interview as a porn movie to be titled “ This Ain’t The Interview XXX ,” and he says it will be released during the first quarter of 2015.
In the original version of the movie, characters played by Seth Rogen and James Franco travel to North Korea in an effort to kill Kim Jong-Un, apparently by blasting off his face using an exploding tank shell. The mind simply boggles at what Flynt might have in mind for the Hustler treatment of the story.
Other Hustler Video porno productions include parodies of anything from Glee to Game of Thrones to The Simpsons , so “This Ain’t The Interview XXX” seems a relatively logical progression.
Flynt told the media that if Kim Jong-Un and his group of henchmen were upset at the first movie, just wait until they see the movie Hustler is going to make, adding that he has spent a lifetime fighting for the First Amendment, and no foreign dictator can take away his right to free speech. WSBTV mentioned a decision by the Supreme Court back in 1988 in favor of Flynt and against Jerry Falwell in a case addressing freedom of expression laws in the U.S.A.
Meanwhile, getting back to the original movie, Sony CEO Michael Lynton insists they didn’t cave in due to hacker demands, and they will eventually find a way for the public to watch The Interview , starring the original movie actors Rogen and Franco in an uncensored form.
The Inquisitr reported that they are seeking an alternative platform and might even release The Interview in some way on the Internet. While offers have been made to release it as a BitTorrent, Sony would naturally prefer to actually make some money out of it.
