After a month of cancellations and panic, Sony has decided to release The Interview. The company’s attorney David Boies said that The Interview will be released, just not in its original slot for Christmas Day. He revealed on NBC’s Meet The Press:
“Sony only delayed this. Sony has been fighting to get this picture distributed. It will be distributed.”
The company responded after President Obama stated they should’ve come to him before succumbing to terrorist threats. No word on when the film will officially be released.
