Terrorists Win: Sony Not Releasing ‘The Interview’

Sony has just announced that they are canceling the December 25 release of The Interview after some theater chains said they would not show the movie.

According to Variety, Sony has released a statement saying

Those who attacked us stole our intellectual property, private emails and sensitive and proprietary material, and sought to destroy our spirit and our morale – all apparently to thwart the release of a movie they did not like...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...We stand by our filmmakers and their right to free expression and are extremely disappointed by this outcome.

This morning we reported that a group calling themselves the "Guardians of Peace" threatened violence at theaters showing the film that would be reminiscent of 9/11. The group is also responsible for the hacking of Sony's private emails.

There is no word if the movie release has been postponed or completely canceled. Variety suggests that the film may soon be released on pay-per-view to recoup some of it's losses. Stay tuned for more updates, as the story is just currently breaking.
