Sony Cancels 'The Interview' Theatrical Release After Cinemas Pull Out

In a climax to the massive debacle that has become of the hacking of Sony, the Hollywood studio has decided to cancel the December 25 theatrical release of the film The Interview. This follows a drawn-out drama involving a leak of unreleased films and present and past employees’ personal details, such as medical and financial records. Yesterday, a letter from the perpetrators who call themselves the “Guardians of Peace” threatened terrorist attacks on movie theaters planning to show the film, prompting the five largest American cinema operators to pull out – soon after, Sony decided to entirely call off the film from being shown in cinemas during the most profitable time of year. Starring James Franco and Seth Rogen, the film, whose plot surrounds an assassination attempt on Kim Jong-un, is unlikely to be released for streaming or on-demand either, as the FBI continue to investigate claims that the hack originated from North Korea. Stay tuned for more information, and read the letter from the Guardians of Peace below.

Warning

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.

Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made.

The world will be full of fear.

Remember the 11th of September 2001.

We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time.

(If your house is nearby, you’d better leave.)

Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

All the world will denounce the SONY.
