Sony Pictures Chief Executive Officer Michael Lynton is looking for a new way to release the satirical film The Interview after US theater chains refused to show it over threats of violence from hackers linked to North Korea.

Lynton, who runs the Culver City, California-based unit of Sony Corp., said in an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria that his company hasn't "given in." Though the studio canceled the movie's Christmas Day release, a decision criticized by US President Barack Obama, Lynton held out the possibility that the film would be be shown on streaming or video-on-demand services.
