오바마 대통령은 Sony사의 코메디영화 "The Interview"을 성탄절에 여러개의 개봉관에서 상영하기로한 결정에 환호의 박수를 보냈다.
대통령은 며칠전 Sony사의 년말 년시를 기해 상영키로 했던 당초의 방침을 철회하자, 그것은 Sony사가 큰 실수를 하는것이라고 비난했었다.

미국은 이번 Sony사의 Cyber 공격에는 북한이 있었다고 비난해 왔었다.
이영화는 200개의 개인극장과 Art-House 에서 목요일에 개봉된다고 한다.
해커들은 상영할 경우 다시 공격할것이라고 위협한 것을 무시하고 상영한다.

"대통령은 분명히 말씀하시기를, 우리는 말할자유가 보장된 나라에서 살고 있다. 따라서 예술의 표현도 보장되여 있다"라고 성명서에서 설명하고 있다고 보좌관은 전했다.

"The decision made by Sony and participating theatres allows people to make their own choices about the film, and we welcome that outcome.

North Korea has denied that it was behind the cyber-attack on Sony. But it praised the attack and had long condemned The Interview, which depicts a fictional plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The Interview was originally due to be released on up to 3,000 screens on Christmas Day.

Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton said his company had "never given up" on a release, and was continuing efforts to have the film shown more widely.

What started out as a Christmas comedy caper has become quite the seasonal thriller. It's got everything: cyber-attacks, terror threats and an international incident between America and North Korea, but all of it is a drama Sony Pictures could do without.

The company has been through a lot in the last month, and has now backtracked on its decision to pull the film completely. As yet the big theatres have still not said when, or whether, they might screen the film.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has been hit hard - first by the embarrassment of personal emails being dumped online. But as the seriousness of the cyber-attack unfolded, it also became clear that the personal details of thousands of staff and former-employees had been stolen - opening the door to class-action lawsuits.

Unreleased films leaked online, and then the pulling of a major movie, could cost tens of millions of dollars - let alone the price for the computer network repairs and beefed-up security.

It's a still-unfolding script to a drama the critics might even slam for being a little too far-fetched.
