LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK ¨C Sony Pictures Chief Executive Officer Michael Lynton is looking for a new way to release the satirical film ¡°The Interview¡± after U.S. theater chains refused to show it over threats of violence from hackers linked to North Korea.
Lynton, who runs the Culver City, California-based unit of Sony Corp., said in an interview with CNN¡¯s Fareed Zakaria that his company hasn¡¯t ¡°given in.¡± Though the studio canceled the movie¡¯s Christmas Day release, a decision criticized by U.S. President Barack Obama, Lynton held out the possibility that the Seth Rogen comedy will be shown on streaming or video-on-demand services.
¡°There are a number of options open to us, and we have considered those and are considering them,¡± Lynton said, adding that his company needs a distribution partner.
