Steve Carell North Korea project said to be another casualty of Sony breach

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

A Steve Carell "paranoid" thriller "that was to be set in North Korea" has been scrapped, according to Deadline and other entertainment news outlets.

The project from director Gore Verbinski and writer Steve Conrad wasn't yet titled, Deadline reported, though some other industry outlets said the working title was "Pyongyang," which is the North Korean capital.

"Sad day for creative expression," Carell tweeted Wednesday evening, adding "#fear eats the soul" as a hashtag (That post was shared on Twitter (TWTR, Tech30) 11,000 times.)

New Regency, the studio reportedly behind the movie, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The major hack of Sony Pictures led the studio to cancel the Christmas day release of "The Interview," the Seth Rogen and James Franco comedy about the killing of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.

The hackers threatened a "bitter fate" to people who go to see the movie and several major U.S. theater chains said they would not carry it.

U.S. investigators said late Wednesday they are preparing to announce hackers working for the Pyongyang regime are responsible for the mega-breach. That announcement could come as soon as Thursday.
