Actor-director Seth Rogen has said his film comedy about the North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un was not meant to be controversial.
Rogen, who wrote, produced and directed The Interview with filmmaking partner Evan Goldberg, said the film is "very silly", and had not expected the media storm around the production.
The movie, about a fictional CIA plot to assassinate the leader of the isolated communist state, has infuriated Pyongyang, which has previously declared it an "act of war", and warned of "merciless retaliation".
And there has been speculation that a damaging cyber-attack on Sony Pictures was in retaliation for the film.
The hack, by a group calling itself the Guardians Of Peace, crippled key systems at the company and led to the leaking of thousands of damaging documents and five films online.
Rogen told ABC : "I don't know if the hacking honestly is because of our movie, definitively or not. I know that it has been the centre of a lot of media attention lately.
"The movie itself is very silly and wasn't meant to be controversial in any way."
Rogen said the film goes to great lengths to separate the North Korean regime from the country's people, saying they were "victims of a horrible situation".
North Korea has denied involvement in the cyber-attack - but hailed it as a "righteous deed".
In the latest leak, emails have been published of the leading US screenwriter Aaron Sorkin saying female leading Hollywood film roles are "nothing close to the degree of difficulty" of their male counterparts.
The writer of The Social Network reportedly said: "Year in and year out, the guy who wins the Oscar for Best Actor has a much higher bar to clear than the woman who wins Best Actress."
In other disclosures, the script of the next James Bond film was made public, while senior Sony executive were forced to apologise after an email exchange emerged of them listing films US President Barack Obama must like because they star African Americans.
