One of the biggest news stories this Christmas was the (un-)cancelled release of Sony Pictures' movie "The Interview". In the movie, Seth Rogan and James Franco try to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un. After terror threats against movie theatres showing the film, Sony cancelled the release of the movie.
