George Clooney reveals top Hollywood names refused to sign petition supporting Kim Jong-un

Hollywood star George Clooney said fellow celebrities and industry figures did not want to sign a petition supporting 'The Interview' film featuring the assassination of Kim Jong-un as they were afraid of the consequences. Clooney said he wanted to see the film released on-line to undermine the threats of the hacking gang, who are believed to be supported by North Korean agents. Sony's computer systems were breached following a major hacking attack last month, which saw highly confidential material released as well as a string of embarrassing emails.

Kudos for Clooney for trying to stand up for a Free Speech society. We already knew Hollywood is filled with cowards. For example, the German director behind the disaster movie "2012" admitted he would show Mecca being destroyed because he feared there would be a price on his head. He had no problem destroying the Vatican and the Jesus status overlooking Rio de Janiero.

Yeah, nice try, George. Stickin’ it to the Man ping.

George Clooney would pee down your back and tell you it was raining.

"Mecca destroyed"that's very interesting, only Christian sites..
no goat-humpers or Hindu/Buddhists' sites.

Wow. I bet Obozo is really bummed by this turn of events. I suspect N Korea was the next place he was going to ‘normalize relations’ with.......stroke of the pen, law of the land. A Communist country crossing Obozo?? And some in Hollywood not supporting a Communist country?? Worlds are colliding.

i like it how everybody is willing to fight til the last drop.... of SONY’s...blood

It didn’t bother anyone in Hollywierd when they did the Kill Bush movie either.

[Michael.SF.]

The headline does not reflect what actually occurred. Had they actually had a petition in support of Chubby Kim, many celebrities probably would have signed it.

Lefty Clooney upset because of the Lefty tactics used by hackers.

Yawn...

Next,George Clooney’s gay. From an unknown source!

...did not want to sign a petition supporting 'The Interview' film featuring the assassination of Kim Jong-un as they were afraid of the consequences.

The first sentence is the opposite of the headline.

[AdaGray]

George should put his money where his mouth is, buy the film, and distribute himself.

[eartrumpet]

the first post also says the German director would show Mecca being destroyed. I think the “not” key fell off the OP’s keyboard.

That's what I thought at first too. Actually, it doesn't conflict. Re-read it, and click the link.

Every Hollywood company should have signed onto the movie - and helped ‘give it away’ for free.

Free to ANYONE who wants to see it on the Internet. Free to any movie theater that wants to show it...

Hollywood doesn't understand - - goons who insist on ‘protection money’ never stop after the first payment.

Unfortunately the Daily Mail has long headlines so I have to cut starting from the back to get the article posted.

[SunTzuWu]

I read it. His petition was to have the film released online instead of at the theater. That's still bowing to the NKs.

[GOPJ]

Hollywood - collectively - should have bought the movie - and helped ‘give it away’ for free.

Free to ANYONE who wanted to see it on the Internet. Free to any movie theater willing to show it...

Hollywood doesn't understand - - goons who insist on ‘protection money’ never stop after the first payment - or the first 'store'...

All this hoohaw over another idiotic movie that sounds as stupid as Hillary's Benghazi movie.
