Johannesburg - A missile colliding with a helicopter that subsequently goes down in flames while Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’ hit song plays in the background.
This is how a leaked scene of Sony Pictures’ comedy film The Interview depicts the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The scene, which was first discovered by Gawker, has been leaked after Sony Pictures has suffered one of corporate America’s worst-ever cyber attacks.
The hack-attack has left a trail of destruction, causing embarrassment for the company’s executives who were caught out criticising stars such as Angelina Jolie via email.
The hackers demanded that the studio pull the plug on the film.
And Sony has subsequently backed down by scrapping the Christmas Day release of The Interview in the US after the hackers threatened September 11 2001 style attacks.
It is unclear who the Sony hackers are. But the US government has pinned the blame on North Korea, which is said to have a ‘cyber army’.
North Korea, though, has denied responsibility for the attack, even though the hermit nation’s government has written a letter to the United Nations (UN) complaining about The Interview.
The latest installment in this drama, however, is the leaked final scene of the film.
Watch the clip that features North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un (played by Randall Park), dying in an explosion:
