So the hackers have caused major problems and drama over the past week or so but its now got a bit more worrying?
Threatening to release more private details is one thing but saying they will do a 9/11 on any cinema that shows the film is illegal! The media in general may as well be their sidekicks as they have reported the details of the hack therefore spreading the word.
Should cinemas show the film or not?

I don't understand why they had to make it about the Kim Jong-un. Why not just make it about a fictional North Korean leader? It would probably have spared them all this nonsense and it's not like we wouldn't have known who it was really supposed to be about anyway.
The Naked Gun featured a plot to assassinate HM Queen Elizabeth II, I can't seem to remember anyone threatening violence over that.
WHAT WILL THESE TERRORISING TERRORISTS DO NEXT?????
BEST
ADVERTISING
EVER
for a rubbish movie
How do you know it's rubbish, have you seen it?
HAPPY TERRORISTS?????
YOU WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN
And there's been many films that take the p*** out of the united states but north korea does not have a sense of humour about themselves unlike the uk and the us .
Not much point in advertising for something that's now been canceled.
To be honest, whilst I don't agree with these threats, you have to wonder how the US, or UK would respond if China, Russia or North Korea released a film about an assassination of Obama or Cameron.
It all seems such a waste of a skill and seems to indicate a rather juvenile mind behind the whole thing.
Didn't Trey Parker and Matt Stone do a Marionette film staring his dad? Controversial political figures are all fair game if you ask me. Mind you, I think this whole thing is just a bit of PR contrived by Sony. They'll release the film next year and a load of people will go and watch it to find out what the "hoo-ha" was all about. North Korea are harmless - nobody is really going to spend $millions on a film and then not show it just because some fat comedy dictator figure takes some umbrage.
Problem is it's in the hands of people like insurers now. If they think there is any chance anybody could come to danger, they will insist it's pulled.
I hope it is released, I was looking forward to seeing it anyway.. and even if it isn't officially released it will sure as hell be 'leaked' at some point, but Sony themselves have to tow the 'safe' line.
yes they did team america
F**k yeah!
Much like almost all of Rogen's attempts at humour.
What I'm saying is, the filmmakers know how dangerous and unhinged Kim Jong-un is so I just find it strange that they decided to go with this as the premise of the movie.
As I said, I'd they'd changed his name in it or something it probably wouldn't have provoked such a severe reaction even though we'd know exactly who it was about.
*kidding!!!*
Somewhere there's a /b/tard laughing himself to death. And it's a tragic waste, because he could have come up with the new Doge. On the other hand, he could have come up with the new GamerGate, so it's kind of a Schrodinger's Cat situation.
