This is almost like a replay of The Innocence of Muslims debacle. Except this one comes with seriously harsh cyber attacks. I almost think the North Koreans are bluffing about 9/11 type attacks, but I understand why some theaters don’t want to show this now.
A good movie producer would find some way to interweave all four events (the movie, followed by the cyber attacks, followed by death threats, followed by investigations) into a new product. What was most likely a ‘nothing there’, straight to Netflix type movie has become far more important in a symbolic sense.
“I almost think the North Koreans are bluffing about 9/11 type attacks, but I understand why some theaters don’t want to show this now.”
It’s really a shame though, because this might be a sensible decision for one business, but it’s the wrong decision for the nation. We shouldn’t fold to our enemies, especially not flabby little brats like the one in Pyongyang.
