Thanks to the strong opposition that met Sony's initial decision to cancel Seth Rogen and James Franco's "The Interview," the entertainment company eventually managed to pull through with the release.

"Game Of Thrones" author George RR Martin and even President Barack Obama himself voiced out their strong opinions against Sony's previous decision to pull the movie out from cinemas.

The company's massive hacking incident followed by terrorist threats from the reported North Korean group was not enough to stop Sony from pushing through with the release of "The Interview."

Sony was able to screen the controversial movie in independent film theaters as well as VOD. Despite its limited release, the satirical comedy still managed to bring in $1 million.

Only three days after the release, Seth Rogen and James Franco had a "The Interview" live tweet. The celebrity buddies shared some behind the scenes information and mostly praised Randall Park, who played Kim Jong-Un in the film.

"We were gonna give Kim a big, epic entrance, but thought it would be funnier if he had a quiet, unassuming one.  #TheInterview," Rogen tweeted on Sunday while watching the film.

The 32-year-old comedian added, "There was a lot of talk about how sympathetic we should make Kim."

Franco couldn't hold back from his admiration of their lead actor as well.

"Randall Park is flawless! He humanizes KIM! #TheInterview @Sethrogen @evandgoldberg," the 36-year-old actor shared in his own Twitter account.

The duo also shared some of what they know about the reclusive country.

"The real Kim Jong Il told his sons that western culture would make them effeminate and unfit for ruling," Rogen shared.

"Two thirds of the North Korean people are starving. We try to stay true to the facts, but I honestly don't know what the North Korean regime [thinks] of Jews."

He also added that "weed is legal" in the secretive nation.
