Studios Considering Plan To Delay Rental Releases For Blu Ray And Dvd

Studios Considering Plan To Delay Rental Releases For Blu-Ray And DVD? By Brendon Connelly/Oct. 26, 2009 3:00 pm EST Presented with the option of buying a film on disc or just renting it, it practically goes without saying that springing to purchase a a film sight unseen must happen far less regularly than just plumping for a hire. This situation will also be exacerbated by Netflix-style postal services and VOD. It isn’t any wonder, then, that the studios are considering a plan that would give sell-through discs a window of their own, a protected chance to tempt consumers into a more profitable course of consumerism....

Christopher Eccleston To Play John Lennon By Russ Fischer/Nov. 29, 2009 3:00 pm EST While Nowhere Boy, the account of John Lennon’s teen years, is drawing tepid to good reviews after a recent London festival debut, I’m still seeing voices of dissent and disinterest aimed at the film, which stars Aaron Johnson as the young Lennon.
