Hackers Demand that Sony Pull Movie “The Interview”

This past Monday a group known as the Guardians of Peace sent an untraceable, threatening message demanding that Sony pull their new movie “The Interview” which is set to premiere on Christmas. The GOP believe that if “The Campaign” is aired, that it “could break the regional peace and cause the war.”

    “The Interview” stars James Franco and Seth Rogen who are journalists recruited to assassinate North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un. Sony’s CEO stated that they were aware of the massive outrage the movie would cause, so he decided to tweak some of the movie to fit the public’s needs. North Korea denied involvement in the hacking, but are glad someone did. North Korea spoke out about “The Interview” and called it “an act of terrorism and war.”

    Seth Rogen and James Franco assessed the situation during James Franco’s time hosting Saturday Night Live. The comedic duo jokingly confirmed the hacking and showed the audience pictures on their phones that the hackers would supposedly be leaking to the world along with all of their private information.
