Apparently even the people directly involved in this movie were skeptical about it even being worth to be made. I'm sure nobody expected that, heh.

Oh I think they did. It's a Seth Rogen movie, after all.

That's what I think the biggest lulz part of this is. A guy who makes jerkoff buddy films that no one honestly thinks are that good...is suddenly catapulted to "give a fuck" status because of this.

[Xantalos]

They had to know this would happen.

Its a bit disturbing how a few hackers can disrupt the lives of so many people all the way across the globe by threats alone.

I wonder if I can do the same to get Michael Bay's movies shut down....

Are you implying Michael Bay wouldn't want even more explosions?

I didn't think this through...   

[Loud Whispers]

Why do I suspect they did the whole 'shut it down' thing for publicity, and plan on releasing it later?

Because Hollywood has no soul

[Cthulhu]

Note that North Korea isn't the one that threatened the terrorist attacks and attacked their database.

It was hackers.  Unknown hackers.

Seems a little suspicious, though this would be a pretty outrageous con if it was a con, one that would get people put in jail if outed.

[Naryar]

Lol, north korea.

Can someone curbstomp them before the "North Korea STRONK, we will kill the evil murricans with fire!!1" joke gets old ? oh wait it already is

Though I bet Kim Jong Un has just seen too much James Bond movies and indentifies as the villain.

Maybe he is actually the most successful IRL troll ever ? who knows.

[Loud Whispers]

Place your bets, was the hacker:

• NSA false flag attack on Murrican soil
• Ilerminaty sekrit agents of nwo
• Random bloke who'll be called Anonymoose
• Kim Jong-Un retaliating with his 1337 haxor skills
• Sony raking in massive dollar holla with guerilla marketing
• Obama accidentally 63megabytes
• Nazis hacking from the moon
• The Belgian Intelligence and Security Agency (you know it was Belgium)
• Israel with the FEMA hacks on Sonyvision to Federal Reserve your base
• Bill Gates got bored and wanted to fuck shit up with his powers over computers
• Aliums did it
• Knowing is one word away from knwoing, it was the knew world order

[Naryar]

Anonymous trolling the shit out of Sony and the whole world by masquerading as North Korea ?

Proxies, you know.

[Itnetlolor]

Considering they had to resort to mentioning 9/11 to watch America crap itself again, so they follow on their every beck and call, I'm betting on:

• Random bloke who'll be called Anonymoose

It just seems their style. Add salt to the wound, it would also be some young'un trying to get a rise out of the nation because they were offended by the fact the movie was coming out (not a fan of either James Franco or Seth Rogan).

The Sony hack was just a coincidence they took advantage of.

EDIT:
On a more serious note, considering how terrorist organizations would operate anyhow, I don't think it would matter if we complied with their request or not; they'd decide to strike anyway. I say show it anyway, and have some beefed up security at the ready. After all, wasn't it our motto "Not to negotiate with terrorists"? America, have some balls.

[MonkeyHead]

Is this not just a function of cinemas not wanting to run the film, scared that there will be some kind of attack on their property (based on threats, real or not...), which is bad of business, and might cause lawsuits? Sony will obviously have to pull the film then because capitalism.

If I were Sony, I would say "fuck you" and release it for free on the internet, just for shits and giggles and to raise a big middle finger to whoever is pulling the strings here.

[IronTomato]

America: WE DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS

North Korea: i blow u up for watchin dat movie.

America: SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING

[Frumple]

After all, wasn't it our motto "Not to negotiate with terrorists"? America, have some balls.

C'mon man, pay attention. America hasn't had balls in over a decade. Apparently movies get people jumpin', but you never hear complaints about similar action in the face of bomb threats, shooting threats, etc., etc., etc. This is par for the course -- arguably even braver than usual, since we don't seem to be intending to slap someone with our military dong to try to fake confidence or violate constitutional rights to try to fake safety. Voluntary cancellations are probably an improvement! You should be proud, it looks like the nation might actually be starting down the path of getting some neurosis under control.
