LOS ANGELES, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- Development has halted for an upcoming film set to be directed by Gore Verbinski and based in North Korea following the recent threats made against Sony Picture's The Interview.
According to Deadline, the still-untitled film would see Steve Carell as its main character and was scheduled to start production in March. Insiders claim, however, Fox scratched the project over the fallout that ensued after the hack of Sony Entertainment's computer base by a group know as the Guardians of Peace.
