Seth Rogen is scared......
Willing to bet Rogen is just angry.
Sony is scared because they very likely know that what was released was quite mild compared to what could be released. Actors and other entertainment folks rely on ego as the foundation of their personalities. The cruel words of executives at Sony towards actors, writers, or the union could essentially put them out of business for good. Hollywood companies like Sony have also been very successful at puppeting Washington lately, and there is likely quite a bit of communications that could be damaging politically as well.
I think we might see a huge attempt from everyone BUT the actors to sweep this whole thing under the carpet. We'll see. The president is scheduled to have a quick press conference about it today, and then jet off to Hawaii earlier than previously scheduled for his annual $7 million dollar Christmas vacation.
