Celebs Stand by Rogen and Franco on Twitter After The Interview Pulled
Following the news that Sony Pictures has canceled the theatrical release of The Interview in response to threats from the group that committed a massive cyber-attack on the studio, celebrities who were previously silent on the issue are coming out of the woodwork to defend the filmmakers’ against what they see as appeasement of the brutal North Korean regime.
Here is a running list of what people are saying:
We are all @Sethrogen

Wow. Everyone caved. The hackers won. An utter and complete victory for them. Wow.

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

The tv networks should reimburse Sony for the costs of The Interview and simulcast it in prime time.
— Joshua Malina (@JoshMalina) December 17, 2014
So SONY fight back by canceling The Interview, thus proving to the hackers that hacking & threats work very well? That may prove an error.

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

. @JuddApatow I agree wholeheartedly. An un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent.

THE INTERVIEW is now poised to shatter the world record for "spite viewings."

Keep hoping all this lunacy over THE INTERVIEW is just gonzo marketing but Sony canceling release is sadly real. I feel for you, @Sethrogen!

#TheInterview Is that all it takes – an anonymous threat and the numbers 911 – to throw free expression under the bus? #PussyNation

Sad day for creative expression. #feareatsthesoul
