VICE Meets The Men Behind "The Interview"

-




The following interview with the cast and creators of The Interview—Seth Rogen, James Franco, and Evan Goldberg—was conducted by VICE on December 9, two days before the world premiere of the film in Los Angeles. At that time, hackers calling themselves the "Guardians of Peace" had compromised SONY servers and leaked a trove of sensitive emails that exposed and embarrassed senior company officials. Nonetheless, the film was still on track to be released on Christmas Day. On December 16, a new threat from the hackers promised a 9/11-style attack if the film was released as planned, and within hours the major theater chains across the country withdrew their support of the film. With no distribution, SONY announced that they had no plan to release the film. Over the course of the following days, as SONY was pilloried in the media by high profile celebrities and politicians, including President Obama, for having caved in to the hackers, senior company officials were working behind-the-scenes to create an alternative release plan. On December 25, as promised, SONY released The Interview using a coalition of over 300 independent movie theaters across the country. Additionally the film was also released on the film's website "seetheinterview.com" and via a number of other digital platforms including Google Play, YouTube, and XBOX.

Muslim Group to Charlie Hebdo: Don't Publish New Issue

-
An influential Muslim institution in Egypt has warned the French satirical magazine that was attacked by Islamist militants last week against publishing its new issue, which features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its cover. Egypt's official Religious Edict Authority, known as Dar El Ifta, said the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, is unnecessarily provoking the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide who love and respect the Prophet. Charlie Hebdo's new issue, which was sent to the presses Monday night, features on its cover a cartoon of a bug-eyed Prophet Muhammad shedding a tear and holding a sign that says Je Suis Charlie, the now-popular phrase of solidarity with the magazine. http://nbcnews.to/1DVm8yb http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

FUKUSHIMA ..The Worst Lie That Has Ever Been Committed Against The Human Race!

OH NO!, THEY SAY! DON'T LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THEN WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS... PROBLEMS, they say? The-Powers-That-Be are a group of sociopaths that cannot see beyond their own noses of greed, and in their haste to gather all of the world's monetary value and control, they have brought this on, with NO IDEA ON HOW TO CONTROL OR STOP IT! THEY HAVE OPENED THE PROVERBIAL PANDORA'S BOX AND NOW DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN OR STOP THE APOCALYPSE THEY HAVE CREATED. So what do we do now? I don't know, and even the world's nuclear scientists don't know. What should have been done was not, and that would have been to take over Japan when this first occured, and employ every nuclear scientist together into a think-tank, to attempt to solve it. At this point in time, if the UN did this now, it would be like trying to close the barn door AFTER the livestock has already escaped. It's too late!!! They would have us believe that the vastness of our oceans...
