After a long hiatus on social media, the two comedy celebrities featured in the controversial movie The Interview celebrated Sony’s decision to release the film on Christmas as originally planned.

“The people have spoken! Freedom has prevailed! Sony didn’t give up!,” Rogen wrote on Twitter. “The Interview will be shown at theaters willing to play it on Xmas day!”

Actor James Franco praised the president for speaking out against Sony’s decision to pull the movie.

“CELEBRATING!!!!!,” he wrote on Instagram.
