Sony Pictures announced today that its film "The Interview" will finally be released in a limited number of theaters on Christmas Day.
At the same time, the American film production company says it is looking for more options to screen the film, whose official premiere was postponed a few days ago due to the cyberattack that hit the computer systems of the famous American film studio.
"We never gave up on the idea of a premiere for The Interview and we are thrilled that our production will be shown in a number of theaters on Christmas Day," said Michael Lyndon, CEO of Sony Pictures, in a statement.
"At the same time, we continue our efforts to secure more platforms and more cinemas so that this film can reach the widest possible audience," he added.
On the day the company announced the film's limited release, a new internet outage occurred in North Korea.
North Korea 's internet connection was disrupted again today, a day after a general network blackout that may have been orchestrated in retaliation for the cyberattack carried out against Sony Pictures.
The four networks through which North Korea connects to the Internet, all of which are linked to the Chinese telecommunications giant Unicom, were taken out of service at 18:41, Greek time, after connectivity problems occurred, said the American company Dyn Research, which specializes in cybersecurity.
Yesterday, the Internet connection in the country was paralyzed for a period of 9 hours after the US accused Pyongyang of being behind this unprecedented data hacking of the film production and distribution company Sony.
