Victory effect Kim Jong Streisand: "Interview" was published in the online rental
The long-suffering comedy "Interview" of the working Hollywood duet Seth Rogen and James Franco still reaches the viewer: yesterday there was news that the film will be released in limited edition in the United States, and today it is already available in the online rental (paid, of course) :
The film can be viewed on the website seetheinterview.com for $ 5.99, YouTube and on Google Play - for now everything is US only. Apparently, the proposal of Paulo Coelho to redeem the rights to the film for $ 100,000 for free rent did not seem to the studio too generous. I hope the studio will now share the results of online fees.
The Interview is an unusually bold comedy about how the CIA recruited two famous TV presenters to kill Kim Jong-un during an interview with him. Brave because for Hollywood, in principle, it is unusual to use in films, if they are not based on real events, real figures. There are plenty of recognizable parodies, but in my opinion, the film about how to kill the acting head of a foreign state was made for the first time.

After the first teaser, the DPRK expressed public outrage at this story, and then moved on to cyber attack: as stated by President Barack Obama himself , they stand behind the burglary of Sony Pictures Studio mail and a number of threats that caused a number of major US cinema networks to refuse to take a film in the rental.
Rogen with Franco provoked, provoked - and provoked
Despite the reputational costs associated with the internal studio kitchen that was pulled out to the outside, Sony should ultimately be grateful to hackers: not a single movie has yet received such a powerful promotion. Indirectly, the resonance produced can be judged by the fact that the news of limited rental in the US yesterday hit the top of the Yandex news, an extremely rare achievement for the cinema:
And the decision to release the film for rent right now, at the peak of the relevance of the topic - a bold and, most likely, successful at the same time. However, the restriction of rental by the United States still looks like a strange solution: residents of other countries can already download it on torrents.
Did Kim Jong-un see the movie trailers? After all, he is shown there, in general, a nice guy, and the object of the ban is rather his own American intelligence services. Maybe Sony was breaking in vain? Instead of turning the situation to their advantage, of all the possible responses to this film, the North Koreans chose the worst. But now Kim will be able to watch a movie about himself in good quality without waiting for the release of Blu-Ray.
How can you be offended by those who believe that Kim is secretly listening to Katy Perry in a tank presented by Stalin?
In general, December turned out to be a very instructive month for all fans of scaring the Internet: two PR monsters - Roskomnadzor and DPRK - showed the full power of the Streisand effect, unleashing a campaign in support of Navalny , and a passing Hollywood comedy to such an extent that even Barack Obama had to speak - another. Will it teach them anything? 2015 will show.
PS And here is the first reaction of twitter:
Sony made a site where you can see the Interview for $ 5.99 and I see no reason not to trust my credit card details.
Glory to Kim Jong Un for bringing the day closer when online premieres come out with a wide selection
Wow, The Interview was awful. Koreans really tried to save us from this nightmare.
If Kim Jong Un seemed that the movie was mocking him, then the leading entertainment shows should hate this movie.
There are quite a few tweets in the Russian segment:
