    The Interview

    Tried using the search function, I was sure there was a thread for this movie but for the life of me I couldn't find it.

    So yeah, this movie was pulled from all theatres in Canada, USA, and the UK because the group responsible for the sony hacks threatened "merciless retalliation, on par with 9/11." If the movie was shown in a single theatre >.>

    I totally wanted to see it too

    Sony said they'll make it available for online streaming. Don't know the details atm. Discussing this in the politics forum since it's become such an international fiasco.

    They announced zero plans to distribute it any time soon.

    Guess you're right.

    On Wednesday, Sony announced that partly due to security concerns, the movie won't be released in theatres but will be available on streaming services. However a Sony rep told the News that nothing is currently set for the film's release.

    I don't understand this with the trailer still having heavy rotation on commercial breaks, especially on espn. I read yesterday that carmike cinemas was pulling it and it pissed me off because i was going to see this xmas day and it is the only theater here

    So stupid. I felt really bad for Sony but they should have just pusheditto home video or something. Movie would break the box office if it ever gets released with all this hype behind it

    They do a movie about killing another country's leader and people are surprised it was pulled?

    I mean, I wanted to see it for the comedy but would you be saying the same thing if a movie was made where they have to kill Obama? Or Putin? Or [insert leader here]?

    There's no way this movie would have been made if it were about a larger or more capable country. The whole thing was a big joke at NK's expense.

    I disagree completely. If a COMEDY MOVIE were made about assassinating Obama over in Asia I kind of doubt it would be taken seriously because the likelihood is said nation producing the movie A) obviously isn't actually intending to do it and B) isn't a serious threat.

    The whole reason this is an issue is because there are already extreme tensions between the two nations nd NK is fucking insane. It's a goddamn comedy, there have been comedies about plenty of things at important people's expense. Team America anyone?

    Contractual obligations. Sony might be able to just say "keep the money but stop running the ad", but at this point it's more publicity for them.

    If it weren't for the government involvement I'd say this was likely to be just a huge and overly elaborate publicity stunt.
