Directors and Producers Write Open Letter Protesting Premium VOD
From time to time directors and producers from all over the world sit down and write an open letter. When was the last time that actually happened? I have no idea, but I do know that right now there’s an open letter all over the internet that comes straight from 23 leading directors and producers, and that list includes James Cameron, Kathryn Bigelow, Michael Bay, Guillermo del Toro, Peter Jackson, Michael Mann, Gore Verbinski and for the full list check out the rest of this report.
First of all let me tell you that all of them have signed an open letter opposing a pricy new premium VOD service that puts movies from Warner Bros., Sony, Universal and 20th Century Fox in homes only 60 days after a film’s theatrical release.
Here’s what they all had to say in a letter:
“We are the artists and business professionals who help make the movie business great. We produce and direct movies. We work on the business deals that help get movies made. At the end of the day, we are also simply big movie fans.
Lately, there’s been a lot of talk by leaders at some major studios and cable companies about early-to-the-home “premium video-on-demand.” In this proposed distribution model, new movies can be shown in homes while these same films are still in their theatrical run. In this scenario, those who own televisions with an HDMI input would be able to order a film through their cable system or an Internet provider as a digital rental. Terms and timing have yet to be made concrete, but there has been talk of windows of 60 days after theatrical release at a price of $30.
