If you were looking forward to watching Seth Rogen and James Franco's latest comedy The Interview this holiday season, you're a bit out of luck. After the hackers claiming responsibility for the Sony leaks threatened to commit acts of terrorism at theaters that chose to show the film, every major movie theater chain in America pulled the film. Sony ultimately made the decision that the film would not be released at all.
It's big news. Some are crying censorship, while others are saying it was the right move. Celebrities of all sorts took to Twitter to voice their opinions. You can check out what they think below.
I expect THE INTERVIEW to turn up online. Because, dig it, you can knock the rock but you can't stop the rock.

But when you get into "how does a big brother society actually happen," I think it starts closer to what's happening to The Interview.

The Interview = Argo. It exists only as a trailer. There is no film. This is all a false flag. Why can't I keep a straight face typing this? — Brian Reed (@BrianReed) December 18, 2014
Man, "The Interview" better be pretty funny, cuz there's no way I'm not watching it now.

Saw @Sethrogen at JFK. Both of us have never seen or heard of anything like this. Hollywood has done Neville Chamberlain proud today.

Dear Sony Hackers: now that u run Hollywood, I'd also like less romantic comedies, fewer Michael Bay movies and no more Transformers.
