Sony has pulled the plug on the XMAS release of "The Interview," after a number of theater chains bailed.
Sony execs felt their out was if distributors yanked the film because of safety concerns. That would give Sony an out without directly bending to the hackers. Sony just released a statement, saying, "In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film The Interview, we have decided not to move forward with the planned December 25 theatrical release."
The statement goes on, saying, "We are deeply saddened at this brazen effort to suppress the distribution of a movie, and in the process do damage to our company, our employees, and the American public."
The execs are underscoring the distinction between pulling the film because of the distributors rather than out of fear, saying, "We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome."
It makes us wonder what the theater Aurora attack was all about... Setting up gun free zones allowing the speech to be easily slaughtered...
To understand how weird Hollyweird is follow the drug use and pot heads. Follow the money too/// and who knows who/// and who is bedding who...AKA the casting couch.
Someone should cap that little b*tch a** dictator, for REAL.
Yes, yes, I agree.
Buzz is Pascal's nickname among Sony insiders is "Electrolux."
You do the math. LOL.
If you can get your hands on it, this is a great read-— the scathing book—”Hit and Run: How Jon Peters and Peter Guber Took Sony for a Ride in Hollywood”——by Nancy Griffin and Kim Masters.
All about former hairdresser Jon Peters (Babra Streisands’ onetime sleep-in), Peter Guber, and the sale of their production company to Sony made billions duping the Japanese.
That’s creepy.
