Bisexual Kim Jong-un orgy scene cut from ‘The Interview’?
Sony Pictures reportedly cut parts of a scene featuring a bisexual orgy out of the released version of The Interview.
The film, whichĀ revolves around a fictional plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, was controversiallyĀ pulled from cinemas after terrorists threats this month –Ā but eventually given a limited release.
However, Sony made a number of cuts to the film to attempt to appease the film’s critics, removing parts of a scene implyingĀ the country’s supreme leader engaged in a bisexual orgy with James Franco’s character and four women.
The film’s final script – which leaked onlineĀ after a cyber-attack – states of the scene: “Dave and Kim are in a bed naked, with the four women. Theyāre all playing MORTAL KOMBAT”.
PinkNews has verifiedĀ that the bulk of the scene was not present in the version of the film released online on Christmas Day – though briefĀ scenesĀ showing the groupĀ playing ‘spin the bottle’ and naked basketball immediately beforehand wereĀ kept in.
According to the Sunday Times, Sony staff referred to the release as a “redacted version”, and hope to restore the orgy sequences and other controversial moments toĀ a “director’s cut” DVD release in the future.
The film has come under fireĀ of its homophobic portrayal of the Kim Jong-un (played by Randall Park), who is shown to like drinking Ā “gay” martinis and listening to Katy Perry, and is easily brought to tears during a TV interview.
Eminem also makes a surreal cameo at the start of the film, when the rapper casually mentions heās gay while explaining the lyrical content of his songs.
He says: “When I say things about gay people, or people think my lyrics are homophobic ā itās because I’m gay.
“I’m more shocked with people havenāt figured it out now. I mean, itās kind of like Iāve been playing gay peek-a-boo.”
