Knew something had changed, the gang was supposed to be on Carolla's podcast and their pulling out was the first official act of Sony pulling back last night.

Lucky [well, residue of design since he's a regular guest] for them, they co-booked David Wild of Rolling Stone so they could discuss some of the inside skinny of what was going on.

They have to just be delaying and not cancelling release right? The last couple Rogen movies made $100M+ in theaters. And if they're too scared to release it in theaters, why would releasing on PPV, DVD, etc. be any different? They can't just be turning their backs on all that $ can they? Something fishy here.

No one is threatening to blow up people's homes that happen purchase on DVD or PPV.

While I fully disagree with Sony's decision, no one can say for certain, one week from Christmas, that bloodshed wouldn't have occurred in some of the nation's bigger cities due to this release.

One more thing to keep in mind is that the hackers also retreieved the new James Bond script and threatened to release it on the internet.

The budget for Bond 24 is over $300 million dollars versus $45 for this film.

I think Japan got scared and pulled the plug.

Except that the Bond script is rather early in production, so it would likely be changed if not replaced before shooting. Also, no amount of doing-what-they-want will keep those guys from releasing that script. If they want to, they will, if they haven't already.

This, I think, was mostly the fear of a bomb going off at a theater showing this movie. That would be a nightmare scenario if there ever was one; a movie theater responsible for a mass terror attack, possibly on US soil. Even if it was only a one in a thousand chance, that's a frightening prospect.

And that's what's happening: frightening. They're terrified, meaning terrorist tactics are working. Again.

Dude, filming started last week.

It'll be released in November 2015.

I'll be more than happy to answer any questions but it would be beyond "douchy" for me to start a thread about me.

:D

Yes, I know. The script wasn't up-to-date, though - it was an earlier version.

Yes we can. I can say for certain that nothing would have happened. Literally 100.0000000000%? Well no, but so close to it, that the odds of a supervolcano from Yellowstone killing most of North America on the same day would have been comparable.

Well, that's a given. Lines always change somewhat when actually filming takes place but the script is as done as it can be before filming.

I get the arguments on how we shouldn't cave to some foreign entity and all that... I think the biggest factor is Aurora though. If that hadn't happened I wonder if this would've received the same response. They know it can actually happen now. And there's really no way to stop it if some rogue idiot decides to go forward.

I agree.

Do you guys realize how easy it would be for a foreign country with nearly endless wealth to hire a mercenary(s) to walk into the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd to shoot up the place and escape?

It could literally shut down the movie theater business as we know it in America.

Just like the Taliban have proven they can do to a school in Pakistan. I'm sure it would be just as easy to hire mercenaries to do that here, right? Or to attack abortion clinics maybe? Might as well say it would be easy to attack a restaurant or a fast food chain? Maybe a federal building?

All of these places have been attacked on our soil, by our own citizens. Yet we still don't close them down. Nope. We'll wait until a foreign threat, that DoD has stated is non-credible BTW, and then we'll close these things down.

We should not be playing the what if game and appeasing terrorists/dictators out of fear.

So now that we've pulled the movie they won't attack us right?... We gave into their demands! They can't attack us now. We're acting like a bunch of 5 year olds and we just got punked. If they're going to attack us, they would do it anyways because everyone knows what happens in the movie anyways. Someone needs to get this movie, and feed it to the Internet so it eventually gets around anyways. Sony can say they got hacked and the movie was a bootleg copy, nothing they could do. I hope Anonymous gets on this.

You are talking about a nation that routinely says they are going to destroy America about 4 or 5 times a year.

This is not a threat that we're pretty sure they won't carry through, but not completely sure, so maybe we should be safe.... no, we know for 100% absolute certain that they were making yet another empty threat and absolutely nothing whatsoever would have happened. This is not something thats in doubt, nothing would have happened, and the movie theater chains are all a bunch of gutless reeruns.

I originally had no plans to see this, then I was interested in seeing it because **** NK, now I again have no interest in seeing it because **** Sony.

I think Rob Lowe said it best: "Neville Chamberlain would be proud."

Saw that this morning. Great comment.

Also see that another North Korea film as now been cancelled (not Sony)...

http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/18/medi...l?iid=HP_River

Sony as a whole, not SPE (I'm assuming).

http://money.cnn.com/2014/12/18/tech...html?iid=HP_LN

My experience with Japanese owned entertainment division that operate in America isn't good. Sony has been a mess for a long, long time and they continue to churn out bad films. Their music division has always been hit and miss. They're just not well-run in the US.

I worked for MCA/Universal when it was owned by Matsushita, which is Panasonic's parent company. It was a disaster. They hired the wrong people, the music and movie divisions faltered and ultimately was sold to Edgar Bronfman, jr., the Seagram's heir. It took him some time to get footing in the entertainment business but he turned both the music and movie divisions around pretty quickly.

This is true, but the movie studio to a small extent, and especially the vfx and animation divisions, which have been a focus of alot of the leaked information, have always run at a deficit, sometimes enormous, but they were ego divisions whose losses were covered by sharing an umbrella with the games division. The problem is that everyone can see it now and it is pretty embarrassing.

You will notice that they are not included in the labor collusion lawsuits against animation companies and ILM. This is because they were always driving up labor prices and poaching freely from anyone. The cost of that spending shows up when the talent leaves, not because of the company as many articles purport, but because the salaries could not be sustained as other divisions of Sony were not covering the losses anymore. They are awful places to work. Nobody has ever worked at either of those two divisions for any reason other than money, the highest salary offered, by a wide margin, like 30-35% more than market value, and frankly they never had the best talent anyway.

Ego is the primary driver of Sony operations in the entertainment sector. This hack has truly exposed that. There will be massive reorganization, but it won't be easy since they can't afford the crazy salaries they used to offer. If electronics and other big divisions are run in any way the same, I don't know if they can recover.

Too bad about the computers. I have had two Sony Vaio models and they were my favorite computers, but they probably lost money on those too and they weren't cheap. I have finally switched to Apple because of that. The shame of what might actually be in the stolen data has got to be worse than the shame we are already seeing.

Did you go with the new Mac Pro? I thought about it but instead built an i7 4790k PC with 32 gigs of RAM and multiple SSD's on Win 8.1x64. I've had it up and running since Tuesday and it's insane how much data can be streamed from my drives while locked to video.

If nobody attacked America for Team America: World Police, then why would they do it for this movie? I don't remember any crazy terror threats when that movie came out.

I looked at them pretty seriously, but I couldn't make the numbers work for what I need to do in the near future, so I maxed out an iMac and if I still need more processing, I can max out another iMac and still not hit the cost of a MacPro with similar cores and memory. Obviously there would be performance differences in the MacPro, but I have not even come close to stressing it interactively yet working with pretty heavy scene files even without the dual GPU. I do take a hit on final render times, but I am considering using a vendor for final renders in which case I probably wouldn't even need the second iMac.

I'm pretty happy with my choice, though the MacPros are so sleek and so fast. It was very tempting. If I had clients at my desk, I probably would have opted for the supercharged interactivity, but I don't. This is just for my own side projects.

Apparently they've pulled showings of TAWP as well now.

The pussification is complete....

Paramount cancels screenings of Team America as well....

http://i61.tinypic.com/20jmhsm.jpg

They couldn't; they didn't have the hacking hook-up. Plus, Kim Jong-Il was in charge then, and he didn't have as much to prove.

I've just built a similar machine in terms of power and surely video. I am sharing in that new PC rush.

Isn't crazy awesome, isn't it?

Awesome. :D

Out of all of my editor friends, this seems to be the common answer. None felt the Apple Mac Pro was worth the money, especially for projects at home use, and that the iMac was more than suitable. I know a few that freelance at home from time to time on older Powerbooks without issue.

You probably wouldn't even need to purchase another iMac, just a Mac Mini. Well, that's if Apple doesn't continue downsizing the processor. It's odd how they went from Quad Core i7 to Dual Core i5's but even then, it wouldn't be too bad.

Is Netflix going to stop streaming team america too

probably hit the interwebs sooner rather than later.

I honestly had no desire to see this movie but now that this has happened I would go see it in a theater.

Rumors it could go vod

I heard about an hour ago that Sony is killing altogether.

No DVD, no On Demand, no PPV, no premium cable channel, no streaming service.

Its dead, or so I was told.

Wow.


I think it's available on the torrent sites though right? Because Of the initial hack

No idea. I don't do torrents. But I'd be surprised if the hackers released it because, you know, they didn't want it released.

We already had one. Since it was a nutjob and not terrorists, it doesnt count?:p

Holy Crap. There is something else going on that we don't know about, some other shoe to drop, some damaging email etc.

I'm certain you didn't mean to quote the word 'responsible' there.


Certain.

Makes you wonder what e-mails got stolen that are tenfold more damaging than the ones we've heard about, doesn't it?

Yep. But the release of Americans SSN's and medical info coupled with financials and IP, made it pretty much a no brainer, IMO.

Man...all that money wasted. Saw this promo earlier thinking there was hope but verge seems to be in line with what you're hearing.

http://www.theverge.com/2014/12/18/7...nterview-promo

Just googled it and its only Annie, Fury and a couple of other lesser releases. Rumors of some other stolen movies in a future drop. Im surprised this stuff was connected to the internet on Sony servers somewhere if it hadnt been released yet??

I'm sure these movies are just sitting on a drive. All the hackers had to do was copy.

We had drives of info back in the 90's and 2000's, so it isn't a shock. These companies do a very poor job of protecting their IP. Maybe the best thing about this hack is that procedures will change and security measures put in place.

Of course, that won't even begin to happen until after MLK day because, you know, the entertainment business needs a four week paid rest.

Personally, I think pulling it is chickenshit... however, doing a movie about assassinating a world leader isn't wise. Team America is OK in my book, as it's puppets, and it's ****ing hilarious.

But, if NK made a movie called "인터뷰 - The Interview" in which they had an elaborate plot to kill King Obama... I bet DC would be pissed.

SONY is ****ed though... their next 4 movies in the can were released... and the 5th, The Interview is canned.

They are hemorrhaging cash.

Which 4 movies? I haven't really been paying attention to what all has been released in this hack other than some emails.

You know we released, here in the US, a movie that plotted the assassination of W with glee, while he was in office, and no one batted an eye.

Bl[Annie], Predestination, Fury, and I forget the 4th.

EDIT: “Mr. Turner,” “Still Alice” and “To Write Love on Her Arms” are mentioned, but I don't know anything about them.

Which movie?

Edit: LOL. Some really tiny Indie film that I'd never, ever heard of before.

I have to hand it to you, BL: Your film & TV awareness is quite spectacular.

But Fury was in theaters in October.

Oh and Bl[Annie] LMAO

Have you ever had any contact (professional or personal) with Bobby Hendricks? He used to sing with the Drifters.

Don't forget the unbelievable damage they suffered to their negotiating power, relations with the talent, and employee morale.

Live press conference going on right now. Obama just basically called out Sony and the theaters.

Said they made a mistake, and that they should not have allowed themselves to be intimidated. Also said the USA should not allow a dictator to impose censorship in our country.

That weak ass liberal Marxist Communist!

Im gonna pirate something for the first time in ages~

MAYBE WE SHOULD CENSOR ALL THINGS THAT HURT SOMEONES FEELINGS.

Then we can all go have dinner at Taco Bell.

https://31.media.tumblr.com/3b423270...SYj1qgp297.png

Wow, didn't expect that from him.

Technically they were threatening Japan considering NK's longstanding blood feud they have with Japan

Sony is doing this for themselves only. They are full aware of what was stolen and what can be released. Damage control.

Obama is speaking in hind-sight anyway. Easy to say now. If he was really concerned, he would have initiated that conversation, starting with the Govt of Japan.

Nope, I've never met him, although my dad did some shows with the Drifters in the early 60's and has always spoken highly of them.

Yep.

If NK were to release all of the internal emails, inter-office memos, etc., their film and TV divisions would likely be dead. I'm sure there exists emails that would be so damaging that the talent would never work with them again.

When I was at Paramount, there was a guy in the Tape Room that sent a email to one of his co-worker disparaging a company Vice President. Mean, aggressive and extremely insulting. It was also supposed to be funny (which it wasn't).

Unfortunately for him, he pressed the wrong address and instead, it went it everyone at Viacom instead of his friend.

You can guess the rest. :D

Statement from Sony:

We might get that grand wide-release VOD experiment after all. Movie studios have always been curious about how economically viable it might be to bypass the theaters.

@timalamo: Breaking news: Sony has authorized screenings of THE INTERVIEW on Christmas Day. We are making shows available within the hour. #Victory

Screenings and VOD. Alamo is carrying it. Hopefully the big boys like AMC reverse their decision

And NK has another internet blackout.

This decision was made because the US government intervened, not because of Sony or its leadership.

Sony still sucks.

A dipshit in has basement could knock out NK's feeble internet pipeline, and thats likely what has happened. US government doesn't need to DDOS.

Yeah, I thought it was the USA, but since NK was able to restore their internet overnight only to have it knocked back down again this afternoon, I think the DDoS is being done by some random hacker with a bot army, or a group like Anonymous. NK's entire internet structure is so tiny that it probably doesn't take the resources of a state to knock it out.

Those pesky Japanese hackers

The Interview is available now at Google Play, Youtube Movies, Xbox, and SeeTheInterview.com

The cost is $5.99 to rent, and $14.99 to buy.

Just saw it. Dropped at 1PM eastern. No iTunes though.....

Sony tried to get it on itunes, but negotiations failed for some reason. I assume everyone (including playstation, amazon, and itunes) will eventually get it, but so far these are the only platforms willing to agree to the profit-sharing arrangement and who aren't afraid of hackers. (apparently Sony wants a much bigger chunk of the sale for this release than itunes is used to handing over)

This makes a lot of sense for youtube movies and google Play to hop on board and agree to any terms, because a lot of people probably don't even know they exist, and they'd like to compete with the neflix and amazon's of the world.

Yep. I knew about those services but I have never used them. For $6, I will rent it and watch it on my PS3. Mostly because 'Merica! and supporting a release day digital distribution.

I just watched it, it was OK~

This

Pirating it now. Take that North Korea!
