The United States 1-up Jong-un & company
The back-and-forth between the “Guardians of Peace” hackers and Sony, which then became a back-and-forth between North Korea and the United States has unfolded at such a rapid and fascinating pace, a movie should be made about the events of the past two weeks alone. The Prelude To The Interview, anyone? Well, whether or not someone makes that film, you can go see The Interview in select theaters this Thursday. For real.
A tweet from Alamo Drafthouse Theater founder Tim League first alerted everyone of the news, and Seth Rogen followed up soon after with a celebratory 140 characters of his own.
Breaking news: Sony has authorized screenings of THE INTERVIEW on Christmas Day. We are making shows available within the hour. #Victory
