Can you say “about face?”
After Sony Pictures pulled The Interview because of that devastating hack and threats of “9/11” style attacks, Sony now says it will screen the movie on Christmas Day in select theaters:
“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,” Sony Entertainment Chairman and CEO Michael Lynton said in a statement.
He added that Sony is continuing to “secure more platforms and more theaters so that this movie reaches the largest possible audience.”
I’ll be blunt. It seems that Sony grew a pair and figured out that caving to “The Guardians Of Peace” was a bad idea. I am happy that the movie will be seen by the public and this group of hackers didn’t win. So apparently are the two stars of the film:

Now, Sony might want to go about securing their network to keep this from ever happening again.
