(WASHINGTON) — It might end up being the hottest ticket on the Hill — the only question being which party gets to claim premiere rights.
Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., wants a screening of The Interview at the Capitol.
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., has different plans. He thinks President Obama should show the movie at the White House.
Sen. Mark Kirk, D-Ill., meanwhile, wants to feature the comedy at a campaign fundraiser.
And it’s only a matter of time before someone wants a giant drive-in set up on the National Mall.
Following a destructive cyber attack, Sony cancelled its planned release of The Interview, which depicts the fictional assassination of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The U.S. government has linked the attack to North Korea, but President Obama said later that canceling the movie release was a mistake.
"We cannot have a society where some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship here in the U.S.," Obama said, referring to Kim Jong-un.
If Sony is serious about wanting willing exhibitors, could it be that one of these political stunts in Washington actually results in the film being seen?
