Will they? Won't they? Now it looks like they indeed will.

According to USA Today, Sony Pictures Entertainment decided to release "The Interview," starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, on Christmas Day. This had been the intended release date until hackers penetrated the studio's data, accessing and releasing sensitive information. These attacks were accompanied by anonymous threats, which stated any theaters screening the movie would be in danger.

After the threats of physical violence emerged, Sony pulled the plug. However, the studio has apparently changed its tune.

"We have never given up on releasing 'The Interview,' and we're excited our movie will be in a number of theaters on Christmas Day," chairman and CEO of Sony Entertainment Michael Lynton said. "At the same time, we are continuing our efforts to secure more platforms and more theaters so that this movie reaches the largest possible audience."

This will be a "limited release," so don't expect to see "The Interview" at your local theater -- it may be difficult to find any theaters playing the movie.

As expected, lead actors Rogen and Franco both reacted positively to this latest development. Both stars weighed in on twitter.

"The people have spoken," Rogen exclaimed. Freedom has prevailed! Sony didn't give up! The Interview will be shown at theaters willing to play it on Xmas day!"

Franco chimed in by tweeting the following: "VICTORY!!!!!!! The PEOPLE and THE PRESIDENT have spoken!!! SONY to release THE INTERVIEW in theaters..."

"The Interview" attracted controversy due to the sensitive nature of its plot, which revolves around an assassination plot against the leader of North Korea.

Though it is widely suspected that the perpetrators of the hacks and threats are based in or are acting on behalf of North Korea, that has yet to be confirmed. North Korean officials have denied any involvement.
