Paramount cancels plans of showing ‘Team America’ instead of the controversial ‘The Interview’ movie.
As the ‘The Interview’ movie is cancelled from all movie theaters, cinemas were interested in showing the other North Korea assassination movie, ‘Team America’ instead. However, Paramounts has pulled the plug on those plans.
From Deadline:
Forget those plans by Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and other theaters to run Team America: World Police in place of The Interview. The Austin-based chain says that Paramount has now decided not to offer South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s 2004 satire that focuses on Kim Jong-il, the late father of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Alamo says that the cancellation at its Dallas theater is “due to circumstances beyond our control” and says it will offer refunds to those who have already bought tickets. Cleveland’s Capitol Theater also tweeted that Team America“has been canceled by Paramount Pictures.”
