Sony 'will not drop' North Korea film-The Interview

Sony Pictures says it is looking at different ways to release the film satire the Interview, after scrapping its opening following a cyber-attack blamed on North Korea.
It said it had only cancelled the film's Christmas Day release after cinemas pulled out.
The company said it was considering "alternatives to enable us to release the movie on a different platform".
US President Barack Obama said it "made a mistake" cancelling the release.
"We cannot have a society in which some dictator someplace can start imposing censorship," he said.
He also vowed to "respond" to the cyber-attack in a "manner that we choose".
The FBI has said that North Korea was responsible for the hack, but Pyongyang denies this. The Interview depicts the fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
'Not caved'
Responding to the US president's comments, Sony Pictures chief executive and chairman Michael Lynton said the studio had not made an error in cancelling the release.
