The Denver Screening for Seth Rogen’s Latest Flick “The Interview” Changed Locations Because Rogen Wanted to Spark Up in the Theatre

few days ago, Seth Rogan tweeted “We are going to do a
screening of #TheInterviewMovie in Colorado where I get baked with everyone
first, and we can smoke weed in the theater.” In addition, Rogen told his Twitter fans that they
could sign up for the screening via email, but no one had received any passes.

After hearing about Seth’s tweet, the host venue, Sie
FilmCenter, contacted Sony Pictures telling them audience wasn’t allowed to light
up in the theater as it was against Colorado law. Sony Pictures then told the
Sie FilmCenter that “the event was no longer happening.” Later, Rogan tweeted
that “the old venue was acting lame so we got a new one.”

According to The Cannabist, the Oriental Theater is where
the event took place.

“It’s
at the Oriental. We don’t know if there will be any sort of consumption or
anything.” said Kayvan Khalatbari, owner of Denver pot shop Denver Relief and
comedy production group Sexpot Comedy. He went on to say: “We don’t throw [the
cannabis-friendly nature of our shows] in the police’s face or try to make a
giant political statement, but we do share it with friends, family and those
who ask about them being cannabis-friendly shows.”

The big question looming on everyone’s mind is: Did Seth
Rogan’s plan actually work? According to the city of Denver’s Executive
Director of Marijuana Policy, Ashley Kilroy, no. “There is no provision in Amendment 64 for the
on-premise consumption of marijuana,” Kilroy stated. But since this is Seth
Rogen and the odds are inevitable, we’re pretty positive Rogen, and the entire
screening audience, were on a similar elevated level whether publicized or unpublicized.
