Sony Hackers New Message Tells Company They Made 'Wise' Decision To Cancel 'The Interview' [VIDEO]
After Sony's decision to cancel the Dec. 25 release of The Interview, the hackers sent another message saying the company's made a good choice.
Hollywood Respond To Sony's Decision Over The Interview
"It's very wise that you have made a decision to cancel the release of The Interview," the message reads, according to CNN. "We ensure the security of your data unless you make additional trouble."
The new message comes shortly after the cancellation of the comedy, which features James Franco and Seth Rogen on a CIA mission to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The movie led to threats from the hackers, tied to North Korea, who implied their actions against moviegoers would be similar to the attacks of 9/11.

"We will clearly show it to you at the very time and places The Interview [will] be shown, including the premier, how bitter fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to," the group's threat reads. "The world will be full of fear. Remember the 11th of September 2001."
Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Rogen and Franco visited Good Morning America this week and said the film was not made with the intention to cause controversy.
"I can't definitively say I know the ramifications of the storm. I mean, I don't know if the hacking honestly is because of our movie, definitively or not," said Rogen, who co-wrote the movie. "I know that it has been the center of a lot of media attention lately. It is weird because we just wanted to make a really funny, entertaining movie and the movie itself is very silly and wasn't meant to be controversial in any way."
