Sony�s “The Interview” May be Shown in East Texas

NEW YORK (AP/STAFF) � “The Interview” has been put back into theaters, now that Sony Pictures Entertainment has announced a limited Christmas Day theatrical release. And it might be showing in East Texas. It’s the latest twist in a topsy-turvy trip for the film from the producers to the screen. The comedy provoked an international incident with North Korea and outrage over its canceled release. Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton says Seth Rogen’s North Korea farce will be in a number of theaters beginning Thursday. He says Sony also is continuing its efforts to release the film on more platforms and in more theaters. Kilgore�s 4 Star Cinema owner Byron Berkley said he has put in a request to show the movie. He should know the first of next week if his request is granted.

Lynton says Sony executives “have never given up on releasing ‘The Interview.'” He also says that while they hope the limited release is just the first step of a wider distribution, they are “proud to make it available to the public and to have stood up to those who attempted to suppress free speech.”
