Dear Sony Hackers: now that u run Hollywood, I'd also like less romantic comedies, fewer Michael Bay movies and no more Transformers. Also, Sony Hackers - I really liked Tyler Perry in "Gone Girl" so hold off on doing anything yet with Madea." Michael Moore on Twitter.
"Sad day for creative expression. #feareatsthesoul" Steve Carell on Twitter.
"We should not let a pathological regime in N. Korea intimidate us. I'd be 1st on line to see #TheInterviewMovie. Dear @SonyPictures - please make #TheInterviewMovie available in DVD so I can decide whether to see it, not N. Korea." Rep. Steve Israel, D-New York, on Twitter.
"Today the U.S. succumbed to an unprecedented attack on our most cherished, bedrock principle of free speech by a group of North Korean terrorists who threatened to kill moviegoers in order to stop the release of a movie. The wishes of the terrorists were fulfilled in part by easily distracted members of the American press who chose gossip and schadenfreude-fueled reporting over a story with immeasurable consequences for the public--a story that was developing right in front of their eyes. My deepest sympathies go out to Sony Pictures, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and everyone who worked on 'The Interview.'" Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin in a statement.
"An un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent." Jimmy Kimmel to Judd Apatow on Twitter.
"This only guarantees that this movie will be seen by more people on Earth than it would have before. Legally or illegally all will see it." Judd Apatow on Twitter.
"Wow. Everyone caved. The hackers won. An utter and complete victory for them. Wow. Saw @Sethrogen at JFK. Both of us have never seen or heard of anything like this. Hollywood has done Neville Chamberlain proud today." Rob Lowe on Twitter.
"Is that all it takes - an anonymous threat and the numbers 911 - to throw free expression under the bus?" Bill Maher on Twitter.
"THE INTERVIEW is now poised to shatter the world record for "spite viewings."" Comedian Patton Oswalt on Twitter.
"My recommendation would be that people go to the movies." President Obama to ABC News.
