Now that Sony has done a 180 and decided to at least partially release “The Interview” on Christmas Day, the writers and co-directors of the film Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have finally broken their silence about the whole thing.
When the news was bad and Sony cancelled the film’s release the two kept their mouths shut. Now they have taken to Twitter to celebrate.
