## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] Gentlemen, you are entering into the most dangerous country on earth. Sony Entertainment's move to pull The Interview from theaters has touched off fear and loathing in show business. That's it? So Kim Jong- un gets to decide what movies we make? George Clooney, son of a news anchor, is one of the most outspoken celebrities on First Amendment issues. Clooney's publicist confirms the actor wrote a petition of support for Sony. That he wanted entertainment power brokers to sign. We know that to give in to these criminals now will open the door for any group that would threaten freedom of expression, privacy and personal liberty.

But Deadline Holiday reports no executives signed the Clooney letter after the Sony hack. I mean, this whole thing is just scary man. This might. You know, your emails and it's your private stuff and, I don't, I mean, the whole town's scared. Everybody's gotta be scared. But in one decisive moment, Sony banned The Interview from theaters. I'm so disappointed. I wanted to see. The movie, I, I think this is the wrong thing to do. I, I hear in the film Meryl Streep is great as Kim Jung [ LAUGH ] And I said, ok, if they're not gonna, if they're not gonna show the interview, that's it. No more North Korean movies for me.

[ LAUGH ] Perhaps not for anyone insiders predict a new chilling effect on controversial film subjects. A Steve Carrell thriller project set North Korea also just got scrapped. You're not going to see, villains that have anything to do with that region and can perceived as being anti North Korean, or Chinese. Even Iran people are saying is off limits. I just wish we had an escape plan. In Hollywood there's solidarity for The Interview's Seth Rogen. A bankable showbiz, actor, writer, producer. The Franco- Rogen acting team has delivered to Sony the young male audience and big profits. Pineapple Express and This Is The End cost little to make, and racked in more than $ 100 million worldwide.

But dollar signs couldn't save this sign, The Interview's billboards being ripped down at Sunset and Vine. Dead center of angry, nervous Hollywood.
