[The New York premiere of The Interview, Seth Rogen and James Franco’s film depicting a fictional assassination attempt on the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has been cancelled. The premiere was to have taken place on Thursday at Landmark’s Sunshine Cinema in Manhattan. A spokesperson for the cinema confirmed the event had been pulled late on Tuesday US time. The move follows a message sent earlier in the day from a group calling itself Guardians of Peace, warning audiences that they would place themselves in danger by going to see the film in a US cinema. ] http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014...r-bomb-threats I wonder it will go straight to BluRay?

No, it will still be released in cinemas it just won't get a premiere that the actors attend (or maybe it will just at a later date).
Looking forward to seeing it anyway, Franco and Rogen are great together |

Unfortunately for me, the hackers managed to get the movie yanked from my local theater. (Edit: I was thinking of the wrong company)
Now this will open up the possibility of films that have Homosexuality, Abortion, and/or Nudity banned from theaters. It's North Korea for crying out loud. When have they ever followed through with death threats?

The actors will already have been paid everything, it's just the studio that will miss out now I think. The salaries got leaked a couple of weeks back, Seth got $8m for it

"We will clearly show it to you at the very time and places The Interview be shown, including the premiere, how bitter fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to," they said. "Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made.

Called "Guardians of Peace" yet threatening to create 9/11 style attacks... yeah, maybe they should have called themselves something else.
The US government has stated there is no intelligence in the US to suggest there will be any attacks so it surprises me that it has been axed all together. Also even more worringly this shows that when threatened people/companies/countries will back down and listen to demands. A good foundation for future terrorists to build on... |

The US government is getting ready to claim that NK is in fact behind the threats.
Also some Indy theaters were planning on showing Team America: World Police but Paramount put a stop to that as well.

The hackers just said they want the trailers wiped from the internet and they don't want to see the movie leaked as well.
Just destroy every bit of it. Why was it this movie and not Paul Blart 2?

I don't know why they've caved in tbh. North Korea aren't a threat to anyone because they don't have a pot to piss in and their allies are few and far in between. Empty threats and leaking emails is pretty much the extent of their power. Sony are just being weak little bitches

Was it wise though initially ...to make a mockery of a someone notably unpredictable?

There is no Solid Proof N.Korea did this
To say they will attack USA Cinemas is not something North Korea would not do. Show the Solid proof CIA or shut the Feck Up The president is a Fool to not fully understand what went down - it was USA Cinemas that told Sony they will not take the Movie. So its more of a Criminal Threat against Cinemas but no one know who did it. yet North Korea stands by this, they want a joint inquiry. Is the Stupid USA President going to start a war over this poxy mess? Last edited by arista; 20-12-2014 at 03:38 PM. |
