Seth Rogen Reflects on The Sony Hack and 'The Interview' After 11 Years
Seth Rogen recently shared his thoughts on the 2014 Sony hack and the controversy surrounding the film The Interview, revealing he has made peace with the events after more than a decade.
Background on 'The Interview' and the Sony Hack
The comedy, co-written and starred in by Rogen alongside James Franco, centers on two Americans assigned by the CIA to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, portrayed by Randall Park. The film became infamous due to its connection to the Sony hack.
- In November 2014, just before Thanksgiving, hackers leaked emails and data from Sony employees.
- The hackers, called “Guardians of Peace,” demanded that Sony cancel the theatrical release of The Interview.
- Facing threats linked to North Korea, Sony canceled the nationwide cinema release and instead released the film online through digital rentals and purchases.
Rogen's Perspective on Responsibility and Truth
“I still don’t know for sure if I know exactly what happened necessarily and exactly who did what and exactly the exact series of events that kind of transpired. I feel still as though maybe that truth is a little elusive to me at times, and I kind of go back and forth on what it might be.”
When asked directly who was responsible for the hack, Rogen responded simply,
“I don’t know.”
He added that while he suspects North Korea might have been involved, possibly with assistance from individuals in America, he no longer dwells on the matter much.
“It’s not a thing I think about that often anymore, so I guess I’m pretty at peace with it.”
