Sony Hack

As has been reported in the news, Sony has recently been hacked and several major films have been leaked across the internet, and private emails of employees, president and salary information for celebrities have all been released.

This is widely considered to be a direct response to Sony's upcoming film "The Interview" - a comedy in which James Franco and Seth Rogen are assigned the task of assassinating Kim Jong Un.

Although North Korea states they have no involvement with the hack, the hacker team has demanded that Sony remove The Interview from their upcoming slate of films.

-----

This is wild, and all kinds of inside information into the company is being released. For example, several employees expressing that Sony is nothing but "Adam Sandler trash flicks" and even back and forth conversations in regards to have included Spider-Man in the MCU.

This could be bad news for the company moving forward, that's already struggled film wise this year.

I think this is awesome but I do not support illegal activities like these. So while I am amused by the situation, I am not pleased that Sony is getting raped (the original definition of rape, not the sexual use of it) because they dared indirectly fund a movie that is critical of a stupid dictatorship.

Like, if this is proven to be North Korea behind it officially, what would that mean and lead to?

Probably nothing. They're already listed as "evil", guess the US could list them as "really evil".

YES! Finally someone standing up for what is right and true in this world. The oppression of the original definition of rape shall end here. Celebrate the hero!!!

They'd get some points for me if it leads to Spider-man's film rights being sold back to Marvel...

Shame. Ironically, now I want to see the film even though I had no interest before.

Can't imagine every theater will cancel. This does set a precedent though

As far as films about a head of state being assassinated and or being villainous, there have been many. Hell in Team America, Kim Jong Il was a cockroach. These North Koreans are overreacting as they always do.

Ditto. Maybe they should release it directly to cable, let millions of homes buy-n-watch.

Also, perhaps it's time the US goes on the cyberoffensive. Attack North Korea anyway. "We know it's you."

I kind of want to go watch it now, to spite them. Despite the movie not looking very good.

Although that'd be sweet if this was all a viral marketing campaign
