If someone makes a movie about killing your leader, they won't be laughing. Still, crazy threats.

Are the threats empty? Probably. If the hacks were done by the North Korean government, there won't be any attacks; I don't think their ready to get attacked by NATO yet. If it's just some terrorist group carrying out the hacks then who knows. I never go to the movies on Christmas anyway, and I live in a small town, so I'm not worried in the least. Besides, it's most likely just an attempt to scare people out of not seeing the movie.

"The Interview" just got pulled from most of the big name theater chains.

Regal and Cineplex are still committed to having the film shown, but at a later date and/or when the people responsible are caught.

The terrorists have won...

Darn you Sony and Korea! (The bad one. Up North.)

They've actually pulled it off the theatres, and the biggest people in the biz voted and accepted the fact it won't be showing in any theaters which is a real damn shame. I was really looking forward to it as well. As for the bombing in the theaters thats a load of rubbish. Korea would be annihilated if they dared to attack.

Disney, the most devious of all corporations.

North Korea is basically Nazi Germany with self-esteem issues. They see any criticism of their country as a declaration of war. When the UN tried to investigate NK's constant, endless series of human-rights abuses, they threatened to declare war. When the UN considered sanctioning them, they threatened to declare war.

I find this whole ordeal hilarious considering that The Interview honestly doesn't look too good. It looks like the sort of film I would watch after a really busy day. If NK just rolled their eyes and let the film get released - I'm sure everyone would've just forgotten about it after a few years. Now, the film will be eternally remembered as the movie that almost started a war, destined to top 'WatchMojo's Top 10 Most Controversial Films' list. Essays will be written, articles printed, blogs posted, documentaries shot. There's probaly going to be a film made about this film. The digital prints of the movie itself will become a holy grail amongst film buffs despite it's actual quality. History has been made.

Nice one, North Korea. *slow clap*

RockyDude, I heard about the cancellation myself later that day.  RedBrick1, you are right: the terrorists have won.  Sonjira, I agree with you on what Sony should do!  Sadly for the terrorists, no movie gets suppressed forever, even if there are threats of blackmail and violence against the children of Sony's employees.  Divine, I don't think that NK is carrying it out alone.  I hink they hired professional hackers/cyberterrorists to do their dirty work.  There's no actual evidence connecting the attacks to North Korea at this time.  If they are involved, they are keeping hteir noses clean to avoid any conflict in the int'l community.  Mr. Vertigo, I myself saw the irony of the name "Guardians of Peace".  Progressives/statists tend to use ironic names and slogans for everything (Google's motto: Don't Be Evil is one of many examples that come to mind.)  Max Butcher, I agree with you that the movie doesn't look that good.  Maybe because it's not my kind of humor.  I just don't get how a lot of these movies are things large numbers of people want to see.  You are also spot-on with the fact that whoever is behind these threats should have just let it go.  Boycotts and other calls to ban things only draw more interest to the boycotted subject, and I think in the end, when this does get released somewhere down the road, and I'm confident that it will, it will be seen by more people than would have ever cared to watch in the first place.

That wouldn't matter at all Dewfilms.. the point is people wanted the interview, not a replacement another film replacing it is just like a new film coming to theater soon. Some people actually were excited to see the Korean President get killed in the film as a joke.
