The Perfect Weapon (2020): Sony Hack (Clip) | HBO

[karthikmunishamaiah]

Aah the days when NK hacking a movie studio was the biggest topic of the day. Miss them.

[c-light]

I was so engrossed in this I forgot I was watching a trailer

[luisolivarez]

Whoever is making trailers for HBO, give them a raise.

[tomfitzgerald]

Wow. Did you see that shot of the president listening? I remember when that was a thing.

[kellanaldous]

For a minute i thought this was gonna be a sequel to The Interview, shot as a documentary "capturing" the fallout from it being made or something lol

[itstrbo]

Lol "North Korea's internet went down..." so that's like a Tuesday in Pyongyang

[jac_]

It’s kinda crazy that part of the reason Spider Man is in the MCU is because of this

[foxtrot]

As someone who is trying to enter the field of network administration and studying cybersecurity, this documentary was great! Love referencing these events in some of the classes I have taken.

[MariusH]

2020: Same same... but differeeent... But still same.

It's not just about Sony being hacked. It's more than that. It shows that NK (or whoever hacked Sony on behalf of them) has the capability to hack a company with industry-grade security which most of the state institutions do not even have. Remember that this even occurred after the PS3 shutdown. So Sony should've implemented pretty good security infrastructure after that.

[menikmati]

That one shot of competent adults all meeting to discuss a measured and rationale diplomatic approach.. seems like so long ago..

[Jahadbell]

You can tell Obama tried to hold back his smile when asked about Seth Rogen and James Franco‘s movie so he’s probably familiar with their work

[daudimasinde]

When a Canadian almost caused a war betwixt the us and NKorea

[saiwantv]

The best thing is that I watched the movie for free the day they published and I loved it. The attack just made the movie more famous! So they did it on theirselves.

[mascal]

That awkward moment when you realize that china is already sensoring American content from movies to youtube comments 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[rayrayfad]

I like how the political facets of the film has surpassed interest in the actual film itself.

[jeebs]

The best part of the hack was seeing all of the crazy films and universes Sony was trying to create

[mikewalters]

I would have definitely kept watching that "trailer"

[ScottThrill]

Randall Park was hilariously amazing in The Interview.

[SteelerFanCanada]

3 minute clip but it felt like I watched a mini documentary.
