Sony Pictures Chief Executive Officer Michael Lynton is looking for a new way to release the satirical film "The Interview" after U.S. theater chains refused to show it over threats of violence from hackers linked to North Korea.
Lynton, who runs the Culver City, California-based unit of Sony Corp., said in an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria that his company hasn't "given in." Though the studio canceled the movie's Christmas Day release, a decision criticized by U.S. President Barack Obama, Lynton held out the possibility that the Seth Rogen comedy will be shown on streaming or video-on-demand services.
"There are a number of options open to us, and we have considered those and are considering them," Lynton said, adding that his company needs a distribution partner.
