Soderbergh, Cuban, Wagner's 2929: Break all the windows.: "When I interviewed Mark Cuban earlier this year for a Wired Magazine feature on digital cinema (link), he mentioned plans to change the way movies are released. Here's how it works in Hollywood now: new releases are made available on DVD and pay-TV some time after they've left theaters. That 'window' of time has been shrinking in recent decades. Cuban said that his distribution company 2929 Entertainment, which he runs with business partner Todd Wagner, saw no point in this delay. 'Let's release everything all at once, and let the consumer decide,' their argument goes. Several months later, they're making good on those plans. Earlier this week, news broke that 2929 is doing just that, with Steven Soderbergh. The director will release six films through 2929 so that theater release, DVD and pay-TV all occur on the same day."
i've been saying this for years now. had some interesting conversations about it to, but looks like its gona get a go! can't wait to see if it works! i'm a believer!!!
