According to a report on Wednesday, Sony asked the White House for help in lining up a single technology partner to stream its movie “The Interview”, and the company was asking for help from iTunes to get the job done.
Tim Cook and Co. reportedly was not interested, “at least not on a speedy time table,” says the New York Times. An Apple spokesman declined to comment on the matter.
The report goes on to say that Sony tried to rebook the movie back into major chains. After failing to distribute the movie on a larger scale, Sony chose to go back to its original plan and release the movie on Christmas Day to over 200 smaller theaters across the US.
It is still unclear why Apple did not want to stream the movie in this day and age. What are your thoughts? Sound off in the comments section below!
