Stars of Hollywood have spoken out following the cancellation of Seth Rogen's The Interview.
Sony Pictures Entertainment decided to pull the release following a recent spate of cyber attacks and terror threats from a North Korean group calling themselves 'Guardians of Peace'.
Six big cinema chains dropped out of screening the controversial film, about a duo who set out on a mission to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, which led to Sony's decision to drop the movie entirely.
A slew of stars have taken to Twitter to express their concern and disappointment over the decision.
Take a look at some of their reactions below.
I think it is disgraceful that these theaters are not showing The Interview. Will they pull any movie that gets an anonymous threat now?

— David Boreanaz (@David_Boreanaz) December 18, 2014Sony's decision to pull THE INTERVIEW is unsettling in so many ways. Good thing they didn't publish THE SATANIC VERSES.
