Really can’t release a film if there are no theaters that will agree to show it.
Wonder if the rep would feel the same way if threats were made to close down an abortion clinic or gay wedding chapel.
They didn’t really have a choice, as I understand it; no theaters wanted to play it, for fear of attacks, liability, etc. (and didn’t some post-9-11 insurance guarantee just expire, or will expire... things that make you go hmmmmm... ?!!!)
That being said, I really, really hope it finds it way out. It should, and it must. Because this is completely ridiculous. No foreign power should have a say in our entertainment choices.
And the fact that I can say such a ridiculous statement just proves my point. LOL.
Or maybe I’m just overtired.
Hold on, new tagline coming up...
They really are a sucky studio, but I keep wondering if the thing about this ill-advised movie (duly run past the State Department, no less) is some sort of misdirection?
SONY isn’t Japanese?
From what I’ve seen of the trailer any excuse to pull it is
AOK with me.
Yes, because appeasing monsters always works. /SPIT
Yes, by all means, get down on your knees, p*ss yourself, and cry a lot - and maybe the North Koreans will leave you alone.
They’ve been hacked, damage is done...so turn the film loose in the same Internet that attacked them. If Korea hated the film enough to do this, they would be punished nicely with everyone in the world having free access to the movie.
Another idiotic pronouncement from my do nothing RAT rep. He’s been very quiet since he lost the Ohio River Bridges Project lawsuit and then showed up at the ground breaking.
They didn’t pull the film. Theaters backed out of showing it.
It’s a marketin g ploy. I’m watching the interview on Google play in a few minutes.
