Sony lawyer David Boies has confirmed that the movie giant will be releasing its controversial new film "The Interview".
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Boies said that Sony only delayed the release, adding that the company had been fighting to get the picture distributed.
He said that while it was not yet decided as to how the movie would be distributed, it was going to be released in any case.
Sony Pictures Entertainment had earlier issued a statement saying that the company has been looking for alternatives to ensure the release of "The Interview".
Sony stated that despite breach of its networking system and threatening emails to its employees, the company maintained its focus on releasing the film.
The company said that the reason why the movie was put on hold was because majority of the nation's theater owners chose not to screen the film.
Sony said that it was hopeful that people keen to watch the movie would get the opportunity to do so.
