A copyrighted clip from "The Interview", a new comedy movie which has been widely speculated to be the one which prompted Guardians of Peace's hacking at Sony Pictures, landed online on Monday, December 15. The short clip posted by Gawker was published alongside some emails between Seth Rogen, producer Evan Goldberg and Sony executives in which they discussed the death of Randall Park's character, Kim Jong-Un.

The clip surfaced just one day after Sony's lawyer David Boies warned media to stop publishing materials from the hacking incident and destroy any data they have. "We are writing to ensure that you are aware that SPE does not consent to your possession, review, copying, dissemination, publication, uploading, downloading or making any use of the stolen information," read the letter.

Earlier on Monday, Rogen who wrote, produced and directed "The Interview" talked about the hack when he stopped by "Good Morning America" alongside co-star James Franco, saying that he did not expect the media attention surrounding the comedy which centers on two journalists who are sent by the CIA to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. "I can't definitively say I know the ramifications of the storm," he said.

"I mean, I don't know if the hacking honestly is because of our movie, definitively or not. I know that it has been the center of a lot of media attention lately. It is weird because we just wanted to make a really funny, entertaining movie and the movie itself is very silly and wasn't meant to be controversial in any way," he explained.

In a separate interview with SiriusXM 105, Rogen additionally slammed media for publishing materials leaked from the hacking and addressed the info that he earned $8.4 million from the movie while Franco was paid $6.5 million. "We made the same for acting," he said. "You're misreading the hacks. I directed, produced and co-wrote the movie. That accounts for the extra $2 million. As actors, we made the exact same amount."

Also starring Lizzy Caplan, "The Interview" hits U.S theaters on December 25.
