Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton has denied U.S. President Barack Obama's remarks that the studio had "made a mistake" and that it had "caved" by scrapping the Christmas release of The Interview.

Lynton said "we have not caved, we have not given in" after Obama said that Sony had made a mistake in cancelling the controversial comedy movie.

According to CNN, Lynton said that Sony is considering some sort of a release on the Internet and that it was their hope that people get an opportunity to see this movie.

The company refused to comment on whether any distributors had agreed to help the company with the release of the movie.

 

He also said that the "President, the press and the public are mistaken" about what led the company to shelve The Interview.
