Texas theater to show “Team America” in place of canceled “Interview”

[Wilikon]

Fresh off the disappointing news that Sony Pictures has cancelled the December 25th release of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg‘s comedy, The Interview, the Alamo Drafthouse announced that, in its place, they’ll screen Matt Parker and Trey Stone‘s Team America: World Police.

This won’t be at every theater for every screening unfortunately. In fact, as of right now, it’s just one night, one show, at one theater. But it’s a clever, wonderful piece of programming from a chain known for that kind of thing. Read more about the Team America The Interview screening below.

Drafthouse announced the Team America The Interview idea on their Facebook page. Team America will screen December 27 at 7 p.m. at the Dallas Fort-Worth location. It’s a free screening and will be a sing-a-long, because of course it is.

Pathetic: Paramount Bans Theaters From Showing “Team America” Because It Lampoons North Korean Leader’s Father Kim Jong-Il…


Three movie theaters say Paramount Pictures has ordered them not to show Team America: World Police one day after Sony Pictures pulled The Interview from release. The famous Alamo Drafthouse in Texas, Capitol Theater in Cleveland, and Plaza Atlanta in Atlanta said they would screen the movie instead of The Interview but Paramount has ordered them not to do so. (No reason was apparently given and Paramount hasn’t spoken.) Team America of course features Kim’s father, Kim Jong-Il, as a singing marionette.

Anyone wanting to watch Team America can do so on Netflix.

It is a shame that the interview was pulled. This really is an assault on the freedom of speech. What north korea did (if they did in fact hack sony) really was an act of war.

Ironically when the interview eventually does get released (it eventually will) it will be much more popular then it otherwise would be
