Did Sony cancel it or did the theaters refuse to show it?

If the second then it's gotta still be showing somewhere. And I wanna see it all the more because of it. It didn't look like a good movie but now I want to go to the theaters to see it.

Also, given that the government is pretty sure that it really was North Korea that orchestrated this it makes even less sense that the movie got pulled. The threats associated with the incident would have much more force and menace behind them if it turned that they were hacked by some troublemaking 13 year old

Terrorists Win.


Nah, I actually don't like the idea of testing out North Korea when they threaten to unleash 9/11 on movie theaters, especially when the premiere was supposed to be in New York.

I remember that time North Korea nuked the USA over that other extremely racist and insulting movie that directly kills their leader.


Relevant.

Well I totally believe the thing at the end of my signature about how Hollywood should be destroyed, so whether North Korea acts or not, the movie getting released would've been win-win for me.

Maybe that should have been made into a movie.

Honestly this whole situation feels like the script for Team America 2: Kim Jong Boogaloo.

Wow.  I’m surprised that they would actually kill him in the movie.  I figured part of the joke would be that he was there and still in power because the US wanted him as a distraction and that the CIA was just perpetually out of the loop on it.

The movie seems about 100% less ridiculous now.

Actually, this is pretty interesting too.

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 Australia, you're the best.
If this was a ploy to activate the Streisand Effect in their favor, I gotta say it worked for me, I actually wanna see it, especially with the mention of unnecessary amounts of violence.
