Sony Pictures will make its controversial comedy, "The Interview," available starting on Wednesday through online video platforms run by Google Inc (GOOGL.O), Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) and Sony (6758.T) itself, the studio said.
Sony, which just last week canceled the release of the comedy - about two TV talk show hosts who are sent to North Korea to assassinate its leader Kim Jong Un - is now looking for ways to widen its distribution beyond a small group of some 200 independent theaters.
The movie, which triggered the most destructive cyberattack ever to target a U.S. company, will be available starting at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on Google Play, YouTube Movies, Microsoft's Xbox Video and a dedicated website, www.seetheinterview.com.
The sites will offer the raunchy comedy, which stars Seth Rogen and James Franco, to rent for $5.99 or buy for $14.99.
