Following cinema chains across the US pulling Sony Pictures' The Interview, the California-based firm is now considering ways in which the controversial film can be shown online. Sites such as YouTube, Netflix and Crackle are among the options currently being discussed to make sure the film gets distributed. During an interview with CNN, Sony Entertainment boss Michael Lynton said the movie will be released, but it just needs to work out the best way of doing so.

I wonder if sites like YouTube will be too scared to be a distributor for "The Interview".

Obama will blame them for any terrorist attacks and jail the filmmakers.

Mitt Romney proposed this idea last week on Twitter.

I wonder if this will improve its opening take. Personally, my bet is that it’s just another Seth/Franco marijuana inspired inanity.

If Sony finds a way to take my money, I would gladly pay $30 bucks for this film, if only to stick a thumb in the eye of the Norks.

Plus, I was kind of looking forward to it. Looks funny as hell!

They could just stream it on Amazon, et al.

All the above, then start work on a sequel.

YouTube is owned by Google, who has shown itself quite willing to deance to Red China's tune.

Remember the “Hitler Rant” segment from the movie Downfall? Someone needs to do a Nork version.

I think they own Crackle though, wonder if it is set up to handle a lot of users at a time though
