We’ve known for years that Apple had some designs on original TV, but early entries like Planet of the Apps or August’s Carpool Karaoke spinoff haven’t made major impact. That may change, as Apple hires some of Sony Pictures Television’s top representatives to spearhead the next phase.
Maybe it was just a big ole publicity stunt! Sony Pictures announced Tuesday (Dec. 23) that it will release the movie 'The Interview' to a limited number of theaters on Christmas Day. This comes less than a week after it canceled the release after a cyberattack on Sony, blamed on North Korea...
This decision to pull the movie "The Interview" from release is so insane to me. It is probably a knee-jerk reaction, but I feel the need to say something on the matter.
Following today’s release of a message sent from the mysterious group responsible for the massive Sony hack, the company has now informed theater owners that they can opt out of screening ‘The Interview’ if they are concerned about the terrorist threat. Although the Department of Homeland Security responded by saying they could find “no credible info” on planned attacks, Sony has decided to place the decision to screen the film in the hands of theater executives.
