This is part of an on-going assault as Sony's computer system was majorly hacked. Previously, the hackers released some emails of studio head, Amy Pascal. Some people were calling for her head. Having worked in business affairs, I didn't think what she was saying was bad. At least, what I saw. It's really common place. In fact, it displayed more of a sense of humor than I knew she possessed.
Anyway, a couple of huge theater chains are deciding not to show The Interview. Apparently, some of the code of virus or warning message that was sent to Sony was written in Korean. I'm not entirely convinced that this is coming from North Korea, despite the threat not to show the film that seems to disparage N. Korea's leader. I tend to believe this was instigated out of some outsource company, prolly handling digi-f/x that felt they should've gotten paid more or got cut out of business. Maybe a South Korean company, with The Interview just being a show of solidarity against westerners exploiting them for profit w/out consideration for their value as people.
