As we all know - or should - the intelligence and military communities play a large part in what gets into film and how it is portrayed. Though a 'comedy', how would any country - the UK or USA, for example react to a comedy film on the assassination of their sitting leaders?! I think not well. While it is not 100% if N. Korea is behind the hacking and subsequent threats about showing of 'The Interview', it is possible and they are certainly tag-teaming with whoever is involved. It was stupid and ill-advised to even think of writing a screenplay on that topic - let alone film it. Sony will suffer for their stupidity and being led by the nose by what I presume are intelligence assets who led them to do it. Even worse, is the precedent now of pulling a film [bad as it is] and never showing it due to vague threats. A total debacle - but what can one expect when there is another one-night-stand between intelligence and Hollywood.
