Sony Hack Hoax?
- Thread starter wildchild
- Start date
So the execs thought the movie sucked and was going to be a big flop. Now there is all this interest in the movie. Sony will do a complete 180 and release this film and make a bundle. I think the announcement will happen by the end of the weekend.

Forget the politics: Sony Pictures was pretty much begging for someone to kill its 'desperately unfunny' comedy on the fictional assassination of North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-Un.
Leaked emails reveal Sony executives were concerned about the action-comedy featuring Seth Rogen and James Franco — even before hackers believed to be 'state sponsored' by North Korea threatened the company and forced it to shut the movie down.
'The unanimous point of view here is that this (is) another misfire from the pairing,' said an e-mail purportedly written by Peter Taylor, of Sony Pictures UK.
Taylor added the movie was 'desperately unfunny and repetitive.'
He added: 'James Franco proves once again that irritation is his strong suit which is a shame because the character could have been appealing and funny out of his hands.'
Taylor and other executives agreed that the first half hour of the film, which features a satirical interview with hip-hop artist Eminem, was amusing but was later overshadowed by 'realistic violence that would be shocking in a horror movie'.

Now Sony announced this movie WILL be released in theaters on Christmas day. I CALLED IT.
Ya' gotta admit, being in charge of marketing the latest Seth Rogen regurgitation is a very tough gig. Bet we see quite a few folks grab their spoons and dig in.
This movie was a disaster from the start and should have never been made. Rogen lacks talent.
Seth Rogen is terrible on levels not seen since Sinbad.
One of the most annoying things about Seth Rogen movies is that despite being a disgusting fat slob, ugly as fuck, and annoying like nails on a chalkboard, he ends up banging hot girls who in real life wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.
Dear Sony- If Rogen gets laid in this movie, make with Janeane Garofalo so it's believable.
