Following the trailer release of Seth Rogen's comedy "The Interview" about two journalists who are recruited by the CIA to assassinate the North Korean leader Kim Jung-Un, the angered country sent a warning against its filmmakers and the US in general.

Seth Rogen, co-director of the film, merely sent cheeky replies via Twitter to the North Korean threat. The issue remained quiet for a few weeks, but their silence did not remain idle.

According to TMZ, North Korean Ambassador to the United Nations, Ja Song Nam, has filed an official complaint against the film starring Seth Rogen and buddy James Franco on June 27.

"To allow the production and distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent Head of a sovereign State should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as an act of war," the official letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stated.

Ja Song Nam added in the complaint, "The United States authorities should take immediate and appropriate actions to ban the production and distribution of the aforementioned film; otherwise, it will be fully responsible for encouraging and sponsoring terrorism."

Due to hit theaters on October 10, "The Interview" has been seen as a terrorist act by North Korea since the start of its promotions. It called the filmmakers "gangsters" and insisted that the film has brought "a gust of hatred and rage" amongst its citizens, according to a government-run KCNA spokesperson.

The reclusive country had also promised a "resolute and merciless" response should the US allow "The Interview" to be shown in theaters come its release date.

Rogen's reply to the earlier statement came in a cheeky Tweet, saying, "People don't usually wanna kill me for one of my movies until after they've paid 12 bucks for it. Hiyooooo!!!"

He also hoped North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un will like the movie, alluding to the latter's affinity to films.
