Less than a week after Sony pulled “The Interview” from theaters, the studio has reversed itself and set a limited theatrical release in the United States on Christmas Day.
Sony announced that 'The Interview' will premiere as scheduled on Christmas Day in selected theaters. A source told The Hollywood Reporter that Sony is letting theaters know that The Interview will simultaneously be available on VOD.
"We have never given up on releasing ‘The Interview’ and we’re excited our movie will be in a number of theaters on Christmas Day,” said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Entertainment in a statement. “At the same time, we are continuing our efforts to secure more platforms and more theaters so that this movie reaches the largest possible audience."
So, i guess it's good news..Right? However, the movie was marketed really well and the Sony/North-Korea controversy apparently gave it a boost. There's no denying that the movie will open really good at the boxoffice. What do you think?
Anyways, Watch this Latest Teaser-Trailer of 'The Interview', starring James Franco and Seth Rogen:
The Interview is directed by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, co-written with Dan Sterling. The film stars Seth Rogen, James Franco and Lizzy Caplan. The film is set to hit the theaters on December 25, 2014.
Plot:
"Dave Skylark (James Franco) and his producer Aaron Rapoport (Seth Rogen) run the popular celebrity tabloid TV show ‘Skylark Tonight’. When they discover that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is a fan of the show, they land an interview with him in an attempt to legitimize themselves as journalists. As Dave and Aaron prepare to travel to Pyongyang, their plans change when the CIA recruits them, perhaps the two least-qualified men imaginable, to assassinate Kim Jong-un (Randall Park)."
