Sony Pictures to put ‘The Interview’ online Wednesday
LOS ANGELES - Sony Pictures said it will make the comedy movie, 'The Interview,” available for rental and purchase online on Wednesday on Google's YouTube site, Google Play, Microsoft Xbox Video and on its own dedicated website.
Sony Pictures initially pulled the film from theaters last week following a weeks-long cyberattack blamed on North Korea. The studio on Tuesday made the film available to cinemas for limited release, beginning on Dec. 25.
Netflix is also in talks with Sony Pictures to stream 'The Interview” to its subscribers, according to a report from Variety magazine.

Sony Pictures said on Tuesday it will release 'The Interview' to a limited number of theatres on December 25, less than a week after it cancelled the comedy's release following a devastating cyberattack blamed on North Korea. Sony's about-face came after it absorbed withering criticism, even from President Barack Obama for its decision last week to pull the film, which was seen not only as self-censorship in Hollywood but also caving into hackers working for North Korea.
