Back in 2013, New Regency announced a new film project based on Guy Delisle's graphic novel Pyongyang, which followed an American working in North Korea. Gore Verbinski was set to helm the project with Steve Carell set to star. This movie has officially been cancelled after the scary situation this month with the Sony email hacks and the cancelation of The Interview, which was a comedy about assassinating dictator Kim Jong-un. With the future of this Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy looking pretty bleak, New Regency decided to shelf the Carell picture indefinitely, probably to avoid terrorist threats. Read More »

Sony has pulled the plug on The Interview, the controversial new comedy starring James Franco and Seth Rogen about a tongue-in-cheek assassination attempt on North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. In the weeks leading up to this recently cancelled release date, Sony suffered a company-wide email hack, resulting in leaked information about upcoming films and damning evidence against executives about how they talk about some of the biggest stars in the world. The hackers also sent out a warning to those planning on seeing the film that a terrorist attack of the likes of 9/11/2001 would take place at the theaters showing the movie. Though earlier reports suggested the hackers were not affiliated with the hostile country, these reports were false. North Korea was behind the hacking and the threats, thus leading to the cancelation of the film's premiere, with no plans of VOD/DVD releases Read More »
Charlie Sheen is reviving his iconic, drugged out bad boy Ferris Bueller character. The former Two And A Half Men star is returning to the character that seemingly predicted just what the star would end up like, and playing 'Boy in Police Station' on an upcoming episode of ABC sitcom The Goldbergs.

The New York City premier of the blockbuster comedy The Interview, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, has officially been cancelled. This tongue-in-cheek movie involves an assassination plot to take out North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, which has led to some terrorist threats comparing retaliation efforts of radicals to that of the 9/11 attacks. We've learned this week that, according to the Department of Homeland Security, these threats might not pose any real concern to moviegoers, but it looks like Sony is just being careful, especially after the recent email hacks and leaks plaguing the film company.
