Why can't an Egyptian woman play Cleopatra?

Rape-rape.

Angelina wants to do an Elizabeth Taylor-esque Cleopatra egostravaganza for herself.

Yeah that was news in... Summer?

...of 2011.

She's been trying to get that movie off the ground for years.

Yeah I knew it was old news, just couldn't remember how old.

Why can't an Egyptian woman play Cleopatra?

Or better yet, an inbred Greek woman.

[Razgovory]

Well, studio execs appear to be worse then anyone could even have imagined.

'The Interview' New York Premiere Canceled After Threat

The Interview's planned premiere in New York has been canceled, a Landmark spokesperson said Tuesday. The Sony film was scheduled to screen at Landmark's Sunshine Cinema.

On principle, Sony was not going to cancel the premiere, but ultimately Landmark made the call, according to a source.

The news comes after stars Seth Rogen and James Franco canceled promotional appearances slated for Tuesday and Wednesday.

The premiere cancellation is the latest development following a Nov. 24 cyberattack on Sony. On Tuesday, hackers released additional data, invoking the terror incidents of Sept. 11, 2011, in an email to reporters.

"Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made," the message from the hackers read in part. "The world will be full of fear. Remember the 11th of September 2001. We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time. (If your house is nearby, you'd better leave.)"

Sony discussed the situation with theater owners Tuesday, telling those that had booked The Interview that though it would move forward with the film's release, exhibitors were free to decide not to show the film if they chose. On Tuesday evening, Carmike Cinemas decided to cancel its screenings of the film, as did the Los Angeles-area ArcLight Cinemas.

Also on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security said it found no evidence that there was an active plot targeting movie theaters in the United States.

The Interview, which centers on a plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, had a premiere in Los Angeles last week.

Cowards.

In the future, the only movies allowed will be WarGames and Blackhat.

[garbon]

Film has been pulled completely.

[Eddie Teach]

They'll still release it on dvd, right?

[CountDeMoney]

That is really fucked up.  I hope another group of hackers puts it out on the web.

[garbon]

Just saw they have declared NK responsible.

[celedhring]

Well, I guess I should be happy that North Korea finally puts an end to Franco and Rogen's reign of terror, but still, these hackers shouldn't have got what they wanted. It's a huge defeat and will only encourage more cyber-terrorism of the same kind.
