It's one thing not to live your life in fear and it is another thing to walk into a situation that you are aware of having higher risks and potentially deadly consequences- especially for the sake a rogan/Franco comedy. I mean Annie honey - we can wait for the matinee.
In 2006, a British "mockumentary" (not comedy) depicted a fictional assassination of President Bush, who was still in the White House.

I think the writers of The Interview should have made up a fictional country and dictator rather than using Kim.
