'The Interview'
Movie Pulled Out Of Theaters, Local Moviegoers React

A motion picture creates quite the controversy. After recent threats, the movie "The Interview" will not be shown in theaters. The comedy starring James Franco and Seth Rogen has been advertised for months. Today, Sony pulls the film after hacker's latest threats. It started by canceling the movie premiere in New York City. Now, Sony makes the decision to pull the movie entirely.

Local theater chain, Showplace Cinemas, decided against showing the film at their locations earlier today. A movie meant to be a comedy, suddenly turns into a real life drama.

"Take him out?"

"You want us to kill the leader of North Korea?"

"Yes."

" What?"

The plot for Sony's new film "The Interview" centers around killing North Korea's Dictator, Kim Jong Un. Hackers who tapped into Sony have now allegedly made terrorist-like threats towards anyone going to see the move. They stated "the world will be full of fear" and "remember the 11th of September 2001." Now, no one will get to see the movie. Sony cancels the Christmas release. "I don't think it's too far. I mean, you've seen of the movies that have come out here recently, I don't think there is too far, really," says Travis Maikranz.

Travis Maikranz says watching Hollywood push the limits over some popcorn, is normal. Comedies are about entertainment, not about being serious. "When you joke around about something serious like that, it's a lot better I think. But, that's my opinion," says Travis Maikranz.

The local Showplace Cinemas chain says they're "saddened and angered by the recent attacks," adding "holiday movie going is a tradition that should bring loved ones together, in a safe and friendly environment." That's why they decided to pull the film on their own. "Probably not the movie I want to go see," says Dwight Franklin. He backs the chain for their decision. "For the safety of everybody that comes in, I think it's a fairly good idea. I know the guys that are in the movie, they are shying away from doing any interviews too." Franklin says the film will flop if Sony decides to release it down the road. "I don't think it will go over very big. I actually thing they are going to lose a lot of money," says Franklin.

It's not the first time Hollywood has pushed the limits. For example, the 2004 movie "Team America World Police" a comedy in which U.S. secret agents portrayed as puppets, attempt to foil a terror plot by then leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Il. "With being in America, sure you can make it if you want to. It's your choice to see it or not, and I'm not."

Many people say the film should have used a fictitious character instead of North Korea's leader.

Actors Seth Rogen and James Franco are refraining from any public comment at this time.
