Sony have decided to pull controversial comedy The Interview, which was due for release next week. The film starring James Franco and Seth Rogen mocks North Korea and threats had been made against movie-goers.
US President Barack Obama says they are investigating and are taking it 'seriously', but has encouraged people to still go to the cinema.
It's reported a cinema in Texas will play 'Team America' in its place.
Wow. Everyone caved. The hackers won. An utter and complete victory for them. Wow.

Dear Sony Hackers: now that u run Hollywood, I'd also like less romantic comedies, fewer Michael Bay movies and no more Transformers.

I think it is disgraceful that these theaters are not showing The Interview. Will they pull any movie that gets an anonymous threat now?
