Sony Pictures has finally released the controversial movie “The Interview” online.
According to the BBC, the film is being offered through a dedicated website – seetheinterview.com – as well as via Google and Microsoft but is only available in the US .
Sony Pictures Entertainment had earlier issued a statement saying that the company has been looking for alternatives to ensure the release of ” The Interview”.
Sony stated that despite breach of its networking system and threatening emails to its employees, the company maintained its focus on releasing the film.
The Interview, a comedy film based on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, shows Seth Rogen and James Franco playing two reporters who are granted an audience with Jong-un and are then enlisted by the Central Investigative Agency ( CIA) to assassinate him.
North Korea had earlier denied its involvement in the hack attack ahead of the release of the film but had termed it a “righteous deed” carried out by its “supporters and sympathizers.”
