Looks like the LA Times probably has the best coverage, to judge from a Washington Post story.  Anyway, here's the text of the threat, from the WP, with a comment at the bottom:

 

Warning

We will clearly show it to you at the very time and places "The Interview" be shown, including the premiere, how bitter fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to.

Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made.

The world will be full of fear.

Remember the 11th of September 2001.

We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time.

(If your house is nearby, you'd better leave.)

Whatever comes in the coming days is called by the greed of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

All the world will denounce the SONY.

An official with the Department of Homeland Security told TMZ the threat was not credible, but Sony is not taking chances.

Meanwhile, TMZ reports that Sony figures the huge hacking was (at least mostly) an inside job.  Lots of IT personnel were laid off recently.

Seems weird that they have such an issue with this one and there were no threats for the Team America movie that the guys from South Park did.

I don't think Team America was ever released (or it never made it over there). Trey and Matt were threatened by Al-queada for their south park Muhammad episode.


I can't believe the EFFING PUSSIES are caving to these terrorist cry babies. What happened to not bowing to the will of terrorists?

Ah, religion, bigotry dressed up as morality.

It is seriously weak that movie theaters are refusing to play this movie because of threats from hackers (sure state sponsored hackers, but still....).

 

 

They should now give it away for free on Netflix, Itunes and Amazon so 1000x more people see it..just to give NK the finger

yah, wouldn't it be crazy... if something like a movie, or book - caused a 1000 year conflict!

I can't believe that they aren't going to release this movie at all.

What a bunch of pussies.

I didn't think of that, what if it is a rouse to market the movie, lmao. It does look kind of dumb to me, I would never have gone to a theater to see it, it's a movie you watch when you're bored and baked with nothing else to do.

Way to think outside the box, mayor bob!
