Google announced today that The Interview, the movie at the center a cyber terrorism attack against Sony, would be streaming on their platforms beginning today.
Last Wednesday Sony began contacting a number of companies, including Google, to ask if we’d be able to make their movie, “The Interview,” available online. We’d had a similar thought and were eager to help—though given everything that’s happened, the security implications were very much at the front of our minds.
Of course it was tempting to hope that something else would happen to ensure this movie saw the light of day. But after discussing all the issues, Sony and Google agreed that we could not sit on the sidelines and allow a handful of people to determine the limits of free speech in another country (however silly the content might be).
So starting at 10 a.m. PST in the U.S., you can rent or buy “The Interview” on Google Play and YouTube Movies. It will also be available to Xbox Video customers and via www.seetheinterview.com.
In fact…The Interview is available NOW on the streaming services mentioned above. Also, around 300 independent theaters have agreed to screen the movie beginning on Christmas Day (Theater owners sticking their necks out to book the film can’t be too happy that VOD got the jump on them.) You can also see The Interview at www.seetheinterview.com.
