RadioOnFire.com - The Interview will be released in U.S. theaters after all. Sony has reversed it's decision to pull the plug on the film and has decided to give it a limited theatrical release, beginning on Christmas Day. The Wrap reports it will also be shown on VOD.
The decision was confirmed by Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton on Tuesday, December 23. The company had previously bowed to pressure from hackers, calling themselves Guardians of the Peace, and cancelled plans to release the comedy starring Seth Rogen and James Franco.
The decision was very unpopular among fans, Hollywood actors and was even criticized by President Obama.
The film's plot centers around a CIA-hatched plan to have a tabloid show host and producer assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.
North Korea is believed to be behind the Sony studio hack, which resulted in the leak of several unreleased films and private company emails.
