Update: Sony has canceled the December 25th theatrical release of The Interview, according to Variety, citing several major theatrical chains’ decisions not to screen the film as the reason. “We respect and understand our partners’ decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety of employees and theatergoers,” the company said in a statement. Seth Rogen and James Franco‘s assassination-plot romp The Interview has become the most controversial movie in decades. Following terror threats on movie theaters planning on showing the film, Sony, the studio behind it, has canceled its New York premiere this week, according to The New York Times. The movie, which revolves around journalists taking part in a plot to kill North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-un, had its Los Angeles premiere last week without incident. The threats were allegedly made by the self-anointed “Guardians of Peace,” the same group of hackers behind the recent leaks of Sony Pictures’ movies and executives’ e-mails. A message that the group sent to reporters Tuesday included a two-part “Christmas gift,” which turned out to be a warning.
