A threat against theaters planning to show Sony Corp's controversial movie about the assassination of the leader of North Korea was published on the Internet on Tuesday. It promised a "bitter fate" for those who went to see the movie, "The Interview," a comedy whose villain is North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The movie was scheduled for general release on Dec. 25 but they canceled that release late Wednesday afternoon.
U.S. security authorities said on Tuesday they were investigating the threat but had so far seen no real sign of an active plot. A second U.S. official said on Wednesday that investigators are not aware of any people or entities capable of actually carrying out such threats against cinemas or audiences. Apparently, things have changed since that statement.
North Korea complained to the United Nations in June, accusing the United States of sponsoring terrorism and committing an act of war by allowing the movie's production.
