Hollywood Cowardice: George Clooney Explains Why Sony Stood Alone In North Korean CyberTerror Attack | Deadline:
DEADLINE: You said you won’t name names, but how many people were asked and refused to sign?
CLOONEY:
It was a fairly large number. Having put together telethons where you
have to get all the networks on board to do the telethon at the same
time, the truth is once you get one or two, then everybody gets on
board. It is a natural progression. So here, you get the first couple of
people to sign it and … well, nobody wanted to be the first to sign on.
Now, this isn’t finger-pointing on that. This is just where we are
right now, how scared this industry has been made. Quite honestly, this
would happen in any industry. I don’t know what the answer is, but what
happened here is part of a much larger deal. A huge deal. And people are
still talking about dumb emails. Understand what is going on right now,
because the world just changed on your watch, and you weren’t even
paying attention.
