Fallout of Sony Hack/Terrorist Attack: Steve Carrell Project pulled
 
You knew this was going to happen:

http://deadline.com/2014/12/north-ko...cy-1201328532/



EXCLUSIVE: The chilling effect of the Sony Pictures hack and terrorist threats against The Interview are reverberating. New Regency has scrapped another project that was to be set in North Korea. The untitled thriller, set up in October, was being developed by director Gore Verbinski as a star vehicle for Foxcatcher star Steve Carell. The paranoid thriller written by Steve Conrad was going to start production in March. Insiders tell me that under the current circumstances, it just makes no sense to move forward. The location won’t be transplanted. Fox declined to distribute it, per a spokesman.

Sad day for creative expression. #feareatsthesoul

Too bad they didn't threaten something bad for theaters that showed pre-movie commercials, or had small screens!

I didn't think we negotiated with terrorists.

That's the government's stance. Sony is a corporation.

I'm hoping they rethink everything that has been leaked about Ghostbusters myself.

Well, I thought the female Ghostbuters would have been interesting.

I do think Sony was better off scrapping the Interview. And maybe Seth and James should take a break from acting, too.

That said, was it a big deal what Hot Shots! did to Saddam Hussein?

Only spineless liberals like those Hollyweirdo's do that.

Conservatives sell them arms.

Maybe Saddam had a sense of humor? No clue.

How come North Korea didn't care about the recent remake of Red Dawn? Or Team America? Why now?

I think they should just recast with Dennis Rodman

Getting the facts straight:

Yesterday, I was told by New Regency and Fox that Fox will no longer be distributing the film. Prior to that, the film was green lit and fully funded by New Regency with Fox distributing. I have been told in no uncertain words that based on the situation at Sony, Fox has now decided to not distribute the film. Without a distributor, New Regency was forced to shut the film down.

My thoughts:

I find it ironic that fear is eliminating the possibility to tell stories that depict our ability to overcome fear.
