Dan Sterling is an American screenwriter and television producer who has worked on many successful television shows, including King of the Hill , Kitchen Confidential , The Daily Show , South Park , The Sarah Silverman Program and The Office . [1]
Sterling's script The Interview became famous after it was seen as an act of war by the supreme leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Kim Jong-un. [2] The Guardians of Peace made terrorist threats of "a 9/11 style attack" against cinemas who planned to screen the film, and also threatened the safety of Sony Pictures employees and their families. [3] As a result of these threats, Sony Pictures initially cancelled the release of The Interview, though it was later given a limited theatrical release, with broad digital release online through a Sony website, Google Play, Microsoft's Xbox Video, and YouTube Movies.
