Paramount Bans Showing ‘Team America’ [View all]
Three movie theaters say Paramount Pictures has ordered them not to show Team America: World Police one day after Sony Pictures surrendered to cyberterrorists and pulled The Interview. The famous Alamo Drafthouse in Texas, Capitol Theater in Cleveland, and Plaza Atlanta in Atlanta said they would screen the movie instead of The Interview but Paramount has ordered them to stop. (No reason was apparently given and Paramount hasn't spoken.) Team America of course features Kim's father, Kim Jong-Il, as a singing marionette.
In 2004, North Korea demanded Team America be banned in the Czech Republic. "It harms the image of our country,'' a North Korean diplomat said then. "Such behavior is not part of our country's political culture. Therefore, we want the film to be banned.''
"Obviously, it's absurd to demand that in a democratic country," a spokesman for the Czech Foreign Ministry said at the time.
