Barack Obama has revealed that he could have offered to call theatre bosses threatening not to screen Seth Rogen's 'The Interview', if Sony heads bosses had come to him with their concerns.
Obama said that he thought studio executives had "made a mistake" in scrapping the film's 25 December release after bowing to pressure from cyberterrorists unhappy with the movie, Contactmusic reported.
During his appearance on CNN's State of the Union show, the US president said that he has been in contact with Sony executives and he could have offered them a lot of help.
Obama added that he was pretty sympathetic to the fact that they have business considerations that they got to make and had they talked to me directly about this decision, he might have called the movie theatre chains and distributors and asked them what the story was.
