A parody movie about a plan to kill North Korea dictator Kim Jong Un has gained more publicity than it bargained for—so much so that Sony canceled the movie’s release.
After threats of terror attacks in theaters and ongoing cybersecurity problems for Sony, theaters began pulling the film. After Sony made the announcement to halt the release, Twitter went wild with reaction—from celebrities, politicians and more.
Here are some of the best tweets from the ongoing frenzy:

Sony's decision to pull THE INTERVIEW is unsettling in so many ways. Good thing they didn't publish THE SATANIC VERSES.

No one should kid themselves. With the Sony collapse America has lost its first cyberwar. This is a very very dangerous precedent.

If it was Reagan, he'd make sure Sony released The Interview and he'd attend the premiere front and center.

No release of "The Interview" at all; no streaming, DVD, Blu-Ray. Like it never happened. Why would anyone ever make a movie for them again?
