Following the most recent message released by the "Guardians of Peace," the group claiming responsibility for the Sony hack, which threatened attacks on theaters showing The Interview, the film's stars, Seth Rogen and James Franco, have withdrawn from all media appearances in the lead-up to the Christmas Day release of the film, BuzzFeed News has learned.

A representative for Franco did not immediately return a request for comment. When reached via email, Rogen's rep had no comment.

The duo was slated to appear later today at BuzzFeed Brews in New York to discuss the controversial film, the Sony hack, and other topics. BuzzFeed News has confirmed that Rogen and Franco also pulled out of their commitments to appear on Watch What Happens Live, Late Night With Seth Meyers, and The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, as well as canceling an interview with Yahoo.

News of Rogen and Franco pulling out of all press appearances happened hours after a new message was released by the "Guardians of Peace," which included threats against theaters showing The Interview: "We will clearly show it to you at the very time and places The Interview be shown, including the premiere, how bitter fate those who seek fun in terror should be doomed to. Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made."
