The new rental date will be announced additionally, Olga Vasilenko told TASS PR PR coordinator of the Russian unit of Sony Pictures Entertainment .

In the United States, the film was supposed to be released on December 25, the premiere in Los Angeles was held, but the show did not take place in New York. Soon, Sony announced the cancellation of the rental and release of the film on DVD.

The reason was the threats of the hacker group “Guardians of the World”, which threatened the cinemas with terrorist attacks, if they show “interviews”.

Hackers took responsibility for the hacking of Sony servers in California at the end of November. Several films and the script of the new picture about James Bond , as well as confidential information about thousands of employees of the company, including celebrities, got on the Internet.
