Sony Pictures Spikes North Korea Comedy After Threats, Hack 
------------------------------------------------------------


 
Sony Pictures has canceled the release of a film about a plot to kill
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un following threats against theaters and a
hack of corporate data which officials say was ordered by the North
Korean government. Theater companies had canceled showings of the $44
million comedy "The Interview," starring Seth Rogen and James Franco.
Sony says it has no further plans to release the film.
