I think this is setting a very dangerous precedent. Are we going to allow cyber terrorists control what we can say do or see as entertainment? I guess the fat little dick weed with a bad haircut is quite powerful.

I found this on Twitter:

@jonlovett
Sondheim uploads the final terabyte and shuts his North Korean proxy server. He smiles. "Into the Woods, opening this Christmas... alone."

HA!!

But yes, this is an extremely dangerous precedent and I'm ashamed of Sony for "letting the terrorists win".

It's more of the theater owners than Sony. No one would show it so Sony had no choice.

@disneybroadwayfan22, LOL!

@Wildcard, THIS! FREAKING THIS!

I couldn't give less of a merde about the Entertainment Industrial Complex, but in Sony's defense (he typed sarcastically), Huffington Post reports Sony showed the movie to US government mucky mucks and THEN they decided to pull the movie. So there's that.

A future movie set in North Korea shelved:

I hope the US government instructed them to shelve it.

I think theaters should show a return engagement of Team America.

"I'm so ronry....."

Also, Hollywood reacts:
and they aren't pleased

Maybe Sony is concerned if they release it on demand Kim Jong-un will crawl out of your TV Samara style from The Ring.

This stinks.... This really, really, REALLY STINKS.

Unfortunately, no Academy screeners seem to have gone out for this (I know it's weird to think of this movie sending For Your Consideration screeners, but it's amazing what movies do send them sometimes), so not sure how the eventual illegal copy will be released.

I think if Sony doesn't release the movie soon, it'll find its way out to the public.

So now that we've determined it was NK, I wonder if we going to do anything about it?

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 12/18/14 at 11:55am

The news is reporting that it's not going to go unpunished. What that means, I don't know.

The death scene of Kim Jong Un, from the movie, was leaked by the hackers. So I have to imagine the entire movie will come out eventually.

Thanks for your input.

It's very troubling that all it takes is some hacking to bring a major corporation to it's knees, sacrificing millions of dollars in the process. Not very good for the economy, either.

I can't help to think that Sony deserves some of the blame for this. I'm still having issues from when my credit card info was stolen when the Playstation Network was hacked a couple of years ago. That's one of the main reasons I decided not to buy a PS4.
When you're storing people's passwords in a folder marked PASSWORDS you're making things really easy for hackers.

I guess, when it comes down to it, I kind of understand why they've pulled it. I don't know that anyone at Sony seriously thinks the North Koreans are going to nuke all the sites showing the movie. I think a more credible fear is that, this being America, some nut is would use the excuse of the North Korean threat to to wreak havoc at the theaters.

^^^A coworker of mine said the same thing. Sad, really.

That Sonheim thing is great.

Now the theaters who were going to show TEAM AMERICA have pulled THAT film, as well.

This is ridiculous.
