December 25 – San Diego Exclusive!

When Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of their popular celebrity tabloid TV show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least-qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un.

A Message from Founder/Executive Director:
Media Arts Center San Diego‘s Digital Gym CINEMA is one of a very few independent theatrical exhibitors around the country about to release the Sony Pictures film that has caused such a recent stir – The Interview. We open on Christmas Day.

Although this film may not be typical of the films we generally screen, we made a decision to do so from a philosophical standpoint – that of artistic freedom, creative license and defense against censorship. – Ethan van Thillo, Executive Director
