"Flawless" to debut on HDNet Movies BEFORE THEATER
On Wednesday 3/26/2008 at 9pm (and again at 11:30pm) EDT, a full length sneak preview the PG-13 fictional crime/drama movie titled "Flawless" with Demi Moore and Michael Caine about a diamond heist in 1960 London is to debut on HDNet Movies 2 days before, yes before, it even hits theaters in the United States!!!
For more about the film "Flawless":

Movies released using this strategy are simultaneously shown on HDNet Movies and in theaters on a Friday (the traditional release day of a film), followed quickly by a DVD release of the movie on Tuesday (the traditional DVD release day). Soderbergh has signed a deal with HDNet films to make a total of six films released using this strategy; however, HDNet Films allows other directors to release their films day-and date, not just Soderbergh. Many theaters see this as a threat to their business, and have banned these films.

Call me crazy, but I just saw the trailer for this movie on HDNet Movies and it looked pretty good. Save your money. Set your DVR to record it. Cook up some popcorn and watch it with the family at home.

When I first saw this marketing plan, I immediately thought of issues come movie awards time. Oscars (not saying this will or won't be a contender) require a movie be shown in a theatre before it is distributed in any other form. I checked in imdb, this film has been exhibited in a few film festivals already, so should be ok from that standpoint.
This might be the first of the HDNet movies released in this fashion that I actually see. The first, Bubble just wasn't my style, but I was very intrigued by the release plan.
Cheers,
Tom

I like the trend. Be nice to watch a movie before my hacker buddies do and way before it makes it to the theater.

It's HDNet Movies (There is also an HDNet) and it's channel 78 on DirecTV. It used to be included with HD Access, but is now part of the HD Extra package which is an extra $5/month.

If they start pre-releasing more movies, it could become well worth the $5 a month extra.

I went to it. Why does the guide data say it came out in 2007 if it has not hit the theaters yet?

I was looking through what was on Dish On Demand on my 722 and this movie is up for rent there already... for $11.99(!?!?!) No thank you. If I was interested in seeing this movie, I'd watch it on HDnet.

I noticed this too and thought it was a typo or an error, now I get it. It was made available to PPV before theatrical release but at a premium. Good to know it's going to be on for free for those of us with HDNet Movies.

Past movies have seen release of the DVD to stores at the same time as theater as well... so I wonder if this will be coming out on DVD that Friday as well?

Now if this was a Movie that was gonna be out before the theater and it was something i would go to the movies to see i would pay 11.99 for it. just to be able to stay at home. I know i would do that with gas prices how they are. If you figure it costs about 16-20 bucks just to go to the theater per couple. |

Very cool, set my timer. I have been saying for years that movies are going to debut as a pay per view for a reasonable price a few days after their theatre debuts sooner or later. Digital media is where the future lies.
