Why does https://www.seetheinterview.com keep redirecting to https://www.kernel.com which doesn't even contain The Interview film?

It redirects to kernel.com on the website they link to, and there is no reference of The Interview. Where have I made a wrong turn, or is everyone else seeing what I am?

The post specifically says it won't be available until 10AM PT, which is 32 minutes from now.

They could've had a better holding page than redirecting to somewhere with zero information.

I saw that, but just wasn't sure about that Kernel site. Had seen nothing about it, and was wary it may be phishing or something. Paranoid, I guess. Thanks.

(I work at Stripe.)

Kernel is one of the companies putting this release together. They put up the redirect temporarily; about to put a more informative placeholder until the 10a PT launch.

If it's not free, I hope everyone buys it instead of waiting for a torrent. We should support online releases.

Fair enough. A temp page just went up and it already seems slammed. But this was just announced this morning, so I wouldn't be surprised if everyone is throwing this together right now.

On a side note, I'll be really interested to see site activity statistics if they ever become available.

If another country made a movie about Obama being assassinated the US would be bombing them. No matter how crazy a current world leader is, I think it's an unwritten law not to depict their assassination.
