The Interview | Limited Release on December 25, 2014

North Korea Probably Didn't Hack Sony: http://www.wired.com/2014/12/north-korea-did-not-hack-sony-probs/

 

The hackers asked for ransom so it is obvious that they aren't North Koreans. Besides, for all of its bluster North Korea is always narrowly focused on their geographical region. They don't really give a lot of fucks about what goes on in Europe and US.

But didn't North Korea demand money from U.S. in return for not developing nukes?

They dont feed their people, so I cant tell what North Korea would use the money on other than cheap hookers and cigarettes.

[Mojoguy]

I think if they have any hopes of getting the movie out at this point, it would have to be a complete surprise release like what Beyonce did with her new album, so no one else has the opportunity to do a scare campaign.

 

The Interview would be a complete FLOP if it had a surprise release. Movies released wide NEED marketing to make money.

[Clef Ment]

I hope the hackers will also threaten Sony into giving Spidey back to Marvel.

U.S. Investigators have determined hackers working for North Korea were behind #Sony hack per @evanperez #cnn

It was pretty obvious by several threats that the persons behind this didn't knew english. Some sentences didn't make much sense at all.

It sounds like the person just plugged their message into Google Translate and said "fuck it" if it didn't make sense.

DUN-DUN-DUNNN!!!

[SchumacherFTW]

For the love of God this is beyond fucking ridiculous! Fucking cowardly BASTARDS!

[CloneWars]

It says working for NK. That doesn't mean the hackers are from NK. I wonder how much NK would pay someone to pull off such a massive hack.

Word is Sony's considering a VOD release. You wouldn't necessarily need to get the word out in advance. And once it's online, any hackers would be pretty much powerless to stop it. Sony could use piracy to their own advantage.

So, since this is not getting released, does this mean that Franco and co. don't get their full cut?

[Yandereprime101189]

All this migraine over a goofy ass movie.

You mean pure speculation. There is no word on the street at the moment, just people speculating away.

And yet, what else is the official word gonna be? They can't exactly say, "Oh, sorry, we buckled under to a bunch of angry miscellaneous nerds".

[CloneWars]

On the bright side, I think this will mean Sony will be more willing to work with Marvel to do whatever they can to make Spidey integral again. I mean, Sony is really going to need their cash cow to perform well for them after this mess..

[filmlover]

I still hope they don't give it a VOD release and wait until all this has blown over. Remember Collateral Damage got a several month delay after 9/11.

@neilhimself Don't you remember when Churchill said "We should appease them on the beaches, on the streets, and in the movie theatres"?

How would a VOD work? Theaters chains are scared to show it, so why wouldnt cable providers be scared? And Itunes just had all those nudes leaked, do they really want to put it on Itunes movies, and Netflix? And then if they just go direct to DVD, next youll have Walmart and Target and Best Buy getting threatened.

I feel piracy may be the only way at this point. Weve showed we're all pussies especially economically so I dont how this gets released on demand/on video/streaming unless the seller, like Walmart, says fuck you.
