After Sony pulled the planned December 25 release date for the upcoming Seth Rogen/James Franco comedy, The Interview, because of hackers’ threats, many wondered if we’ll ever get to see the film.

While Sony promises that The Interview will be released eventually (but no specific plans have been made yet), a Congressman has offered to screen the film at U.S. Capitol facilities in the meantime. Yesterday, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-Ca.) sent a letter to Sony Pictures head Michael Lynton, offering to screen the film.

“As Chairman of the Entertainment Industries Caucus, I believe we should stand in solidarity with Sony Pictures and the American film industry,” the letter reads. “Threats from a dictator in North Korea should not stop Americans from seeing any movie. We have a responsibility to stand up against these attempts at intimidation.”

Sherman also says that it’s the government’s responsibility to screen the film as a matter of upholding and protecting free speech. “This is about our right to live without fear, and knowing that our values will not be compromised by the idle threats of a despotic regime,” he writes. “Good or bad, Americans should not be deprived of the opportunity to see this movie.”

Though Sony has no announced plans to release the The Interview at the moment, there’s speculation they might release it for free on their own streaming site, Crackle.
