Sony pictures canceled the theatrical release of “The Interview,” citing security threats following a hack which exposed emails that have gotten a company executive in some hot water for comments about President Obama.
With all that in mind, what’s really behind the decision to cancel the movie’s release?
Dz Hollywood really fear NK sleeper cells – or is it really potential email exposure that chills them into submission?

@marthamaccallum Not Hollywood. It's the Japanese company, Sony! Listen to Hollywood stars; they want film released.

@marthamaccallum @BarefootSnap I go with the latter choice,they would not like their closed society behavior to be public knowledge.
