In lieu of North Korea's threats against Seth Rogen, James Franco, Sony and the U.S. in general as well as the recent Sony hacking incident, security was beefed during "The Interview" premiere in Los Angeles last Thursday.

"Security is always a concern at premieres, and this is certainly no different," a Sony official told Deadline. "We will have appropriate security at the premiere."

Four off-duty officers were also reportedly added to keep the premiere as safe as possible at the Ace Hotel's palatial theatre. The controversial comedy had sparked international attention when the North Korean government called it out for blatantly disrespecting the nation's leader, Kim Jong Un.

According to CBC News, "all was calm" during "The Interview" premiere. However, Sony had to limit media access for the red carpet, allowing photographers but not broadcast stations and publications.

When asked about film's international impact, Evan Goldberg (co-director and writer for "The Interview") laughingly answered, "I'm not getting involved in all of that."

Seth Rogen, on the other hand, was more outspoken about how the movie trudged on despite the issues it encountered.

"Thank you all so much for coming," Rogen reportedly said during "The Interview" premiere. "Before we start this, honestly we just want to thank Amy Pascal for having the balls to make this movie."

According to USA Today, the movie had an "undeniably funny script" and made the people in the theatre laugh out loud several times.

Deadline also commended the parody, saying "the film was not only the funniest movie I've seen in many years but also one of the ballsiest. It probably won't win any Oscars, but it should: for the Best Set of Balls."

Whether or not Pyongyang will keep with its promise of deadly retribution should Sony continue with its plans to release the said film, the whole world will only find out after the movie hits cinemas on Christmas.

Nevertheless, "The Interview" premiere was uneventful as it was successful, according to reports.
