Update (Dec. 18, 2:30 p.m. EST): Dallas' Alamo Drafthouse theater, the Plaza Atlanta Theatre in Georgia and the Cleveland's Capitol Theater have all canceled plans to show Team America, as of Thursday. Alamo cited "circumstances beyond our control."


A Texas movie theater has opted to screen 2004's Team America: World Police in place of Seth Rogen and James Franco's The Interview, following Sony's decision to pull the latter ahead of its Christmas Day release.

Alamo Draft House in Dallas said it had planned to show The Interview despite major theater chains having dropped the controversial flick due to threats of violence from Sony hackers.

The theater tweeted Wednesday it will screen the 2004 hit in place of the Rogen-Franco film "for FREE(DOM). Because AMERICA, F YEAH."

Alamo's creative manager James Wallace added: “We’re just trying to make the best of an unfortunate situation."

Team America, which was written and produced by the creators of South Park, featured a supermarionette version of North Korea's former supreme leader Kim Jong-il. The Interview centers around a planned assassination of his son, current supreme leader Kim Jong-un.
