    Sony to release 'The Interview' for free on their Crackle service
    Less than a week after Sony announced they were canceling the release of 'The Interview' and that they had 'no future plans for its release," we have some encouraging news this weekend.
    Sources claim the studio will release the now infamous comedy for free on Crackle, their free streaming service that has a catalog of older content.





    Sony canceled the release after their attackers threatened terrorist attacks against movie theaters and movie goers. The movie theater chains refused the show the film, and Sony says that streaming sites also refused to take the film for distribution.





    It will be interesting to see if the studio will keep their original release date of Christmas, December 25th.

    Sony Pictures has released a statement confirming a "limited theatrical release" on Thursday, but so far has not provided a list of where the movie will be shown, or if any video on-demand release is a part of the plan. According to Lynton the studio never gave up on releasing the movie, and "we are continuing our efforts to secure more platforms and more theaters so that this movie reaches the largest possible audience." Now we're faced with the toughest question of all: Did we actually want to see this movie?
