Judd Apatow: The Interview cancellation is 'disgraceful'

Filmmaker Judd Apatow didn't take kindly to the news that Sony canceled The Interview's Dec. 25 release to major theaters. The company has been a target of a series of anonymous hacks over the last few weeks.

I think it is disgraceful that these theaters are not showing The Interview. Will they pull any movie that gets an anonymous threat now?

What if an anonymous person got offended by something an executive at Coke said. Will we all have to stop drinking Coke?

We also don't know that it isn't a disgruntled employee or a hacker. Do we think North Korea has troops on the ground in the US? Ridiculous

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.

We'd bet the epic tweet rant has something to do with the fact that stars James Franco and Seth Rogen are Apatow's protégés.
