George R.R. Martin Offers To Show "The Interview"

https://www.facebook.com/georgerrmartinofficial?fref=photo

"Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin is offering to show "The Interview" at his theater in Santa Fe.

Martin wrote on his blog this week that the Jean Cocteau Cinema would be glad to screen the film if Sony ever releases the comedy for theatrical exhibition.

Martin called the decision to shelve "The Interview" in the face of terrorist threats a "stunning display of corporate cowardice."

The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that Martin hasn't seen the film and doesn't know whether it's good or bad.

Whether it's the next "Citizen Kane" or the next "Plan 9 from Outer Space," Martin says he's astonished that a major Hollywood film could be killed before release by threats from a foreign power and anonymous hackers.
