‘Jackass 2.5′
Posted by Jason D. under Content, Industry News, Movies
Paramount is planning to take “a radical departure from the traditional movie business model” when it releases Jackass 2.5 on the internet and later on DVD, skipping any form of a theatrical release. Thomas Lesinski, President of Paramount Pictures Digital Entertainment told the AP that “it’s the first broadband movie ever distributed by a major studio.”
When the movie is released it will be free for a two-week period starting on December 19 exclusively at Blockbuster and their new property Movielink. From there the 64-minute pic will move to a pay-per-view format and it will also be available through Apple’s iTunes store.
