Trailers are supposed to make you want to see a movie, but it seems like no one will be watching James Franco and Seth Rogen's latest Sony film The Interview.
The movie has been dropped by most major theaters before it's scheduled release as the NYC premiere and all press events were cancelled after terrorist threats from a group called Guardians of Peace, who already hacked Sony and leaked private emails.
In The Interview, James and Seth play a TV host and producer who are recruited to interview North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un for their show and assasinate him in the process. North Korea criticized the U.S. for making a movie about killing their country's leader but has denied involvement in the hacking or threats.
In addition to hacking Sony, Guardians of Peace threatened 9/11-style terrorist attacks on theaters showing the film. "We will clearly show it to you at the very time and places 'The Interview' be shown, including the premiere, how bitter fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to," a note read.
The film was supposed to hit theaters on Christmas, but Sony has officially cancelled the Dec. 25 release. Are you disappointed the film has been dropped due to terrorist threats?
