The Interview did get released on Christmas day and is slowly making a roll out across various platforms with its massive VOD success. So, satellite and cable providers are now offering it up on their VOD services starting today (via Deadline) and it’ll be interesting to see how much money the film will continue to rake in from VOD alone.

A red band trailer was also uploaded today and you can clearly see how ridiculous it is that this movie, with all the expletives and sexual innuendos, caused an international incident.

It should be noted that anything resulting from the release of the movie by the Sony hackers has yet to happen if anything was going to happen at all.

In your daily news on whether we’ll get to The Interview in the near future or not, the Treehouse Theater in NYC has opted to put on a live reading of a shooting script. The roles will be read by various performers, some of which will be comedians, though Seth Rogen and James Franco are currently not set to read their own roles.

The live reading, which is a good follow up to Cinefamily’s secret protest screening of The Red Chapel this past weekend, will take place this Sat. at 7PM at the Treehouse Theater.

Gauging from how well live reads have gone here in LA, this should be great as well as supporting freedom of speech and expression.

As the reason for the Guardians of Peace’s hack of Sony, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s The Interview has been undergoing a lot of scrutiny over the last few weeks. Despite Seth Rogen’s appearance on The Colbert Report from last night, Rogen and James Franco have cancelled their upcoming media appearances to promote the movie according to BuzzFeed.

Yet, there might be hope yet for this movie as an activist group known as Fighters For a Free North Korea are planning to drop DVD copies of The Interview, as soon as they’re available, into North Korea via balloons. They’ve done the same for radios in order to bring the outside world to those living in the completely isolated North Korean borders. Undoubtedly, watching the movie in North Korea is probably committing high treason and we wouldn’t want to imagine that punishment that goes along with that.

So, this whole incident is undoubtedly going to be made into a movie or documentary feature, right?
