The Interview - Source: AP

Seth Rogen thinks "freedom has prevailed" after Sony Pictures Entertainment agreed to release 'The Interview'.

The 32-year-old actor is overjoyed the studio has decided to distribute the film to a limited number of cinemas in the US after previously cancelling it's planned release on December 25 because several chains refused to screen the movie, which is about an assassination attempt on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, because of a terrorist threat.

Sharing his excitement on Twitter, the star tweeted: "The people have spoken! Freedom has prevailed! Sony didn't give up! The Interview will be shown at theaters willing to play it on Xmas day (sic)!"

US President Barack Obama previously criticised Sony for pulling the plug on the film, and Seth's co-star James Franco suggested his speech helped empower the studio to move forward with the release.

He tweeted: "'The Interview' starring Seth Rogen and James Flacco saved by President Obacco! I MEAN PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!! Sorry!!! (sic)"

More than 20 cinemas, located in Atlanta, Texas, Colorado, Virginia and New York, have already agreed to screen the film, according to gossip website TMZ.com.

Sony previously considered trying to release the film online.

In a recent statement, the company said: "Sony Pictures Entertainment is and always has been strongly committed to the First Amendment.

Letter: Freedom of speech needs to be practiced responsibly

Freedom of speech needs to be practiced responsibly

In response to Jeff Simons commentary regarding The Interview, this is one of the few times that I agree with him. Ah, but that is a subject for another letter.

We enjoy the rights granted to us by the Constitution of the United States, including freedom of speech. However, with all rights comes responsibility. While we have freedom of speech, we cannot, or should not, exercise that right if our speech will potentially harm others. Think of racial comments, sexual harassment, yelling fire in a crowded theater, etc.

Furthermore, we live in a global society, including a multitude of cultures that are vastly different than ours. Thus, we must act responsibly, and we must consider the impact of our free speech on others. As Simon said, Its called empathy.

Orangutan Has Human Right to Freedom: Argentine Court

Posted on by

BUENOS AIRES An orangutan held in an Argentine zoo can be freed and transferred to a sanctuary after a court recognized the ape as a "non-human person" unlawfully deprived of its freedom, local media reported.

Animal rights campaigners filed a habeas corpus petition a document more typically used to challenge the legality of a person's detention or imprisonment - in November on behalf of Sandra, a 29-year-old Sumatran orangutan at the Buenos Aires zoo.

In a landmark ruling that could pave the way for more lawsuits, the Association of Officials and Lawyers for Animal Rights (AFADA) argued the ape had sufficient cognitive functions and should not be treated as an object.

The court agreed Sandra, born into captivity in Germany before being transferred to Argentina two decades ago, deserved the basic rights of a "non-human person."

"This opens the way not only for other Great Apes, but also for other sentient beings which are unfairly and arbitrarily deprived of their liberty in zoos, circuses, water parks and scientific laboratories," the daily La Nacion newspaper quoted AFADA lawyer Paul Buompadre as saying.

Orangutan is a word from the Malay and Indonesian languages that means "forest man."

Sandra's case is not the first time activists have sought to use the habeas corpus writ to secure the release of wild animals from captivity.

Earlier this month, a New York court tossed out a similar bid for the freedom of 'Tommy' the chimpanzee, privately owned in New York state, ruling the chimp was not a "person" entitled to the rights and protections afforded by habeas corpus.

In 2011, the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) filed a lawsuit against marine park operator SeaWorld, alleging five wild-captured orca whales were treated like slaves. A San Diego court dismissed the case.

The Buenos Aires zoo has 10 working days to seek an appeal.
