One upcoming movie that hasn't leaked online is arguably Sony's biggest, controversial "The Interview" in which Seth Rogen and James Franco play journalists recruited by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong-Un during a trip to North Korea to interview the country's leader.

The country has made it clear it is not happy with the film, asking for a ban of the upcoming movie in a letter to the United Nations.
"To allow the production and distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent head of a sovereign state should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as an act of war," wrote North Korea's U.N. Ambassador Ja Song Nam.
NBC News reports that several U.S. law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, are looking into a possible connection between the hacking and North Korea.
When reached for comment by the BBC, a North Korean government spokesman didn't deny involvement saying, "Wait and see."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, an ex Sony employee or current employee may be responsible.
