UNITED 93: Building up to Release April 28
Later this month UNITED 93, the first big motion picture to directly address 9/11, will be released. Entertainment Weekly details director Paul Greengrass' thoughts on marketing, and reveals that UNITED 93 has been given the opening slot at the Tribeca Film Festival here in New York City. As the Festival was founded to help revitalize the downtown area following 9/11, this seems a fitting choice.

Download Movies: Legally!
Movielink.com announced Tuesday that their customers can now download movies for permanent use at home, in addition to renting them for 24 hours. BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN was the first major release to be available for purchase via Movielink on the same day it was released on DVD. Deals have been struck with MGM, Paramount, Sony Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox, Universal and Warner Bros. (i.e., basically everyone in Hollywood) to sell movies. So, all you Jake Gyllenhaal fans out there can get BROKEBACK and view it on up to three PCs, transfer it to a DVD (in Windows
Media format), and stream it with home networking. Insert "I wish I could quit you" joke here.
