Good news out today for fans of iTunes movie downloading service. It looks like MGM is going to start rolling out its library for download. We get the news from IMDB:
MGM has become the fourth film studio to make its movies available to the public for downloading from Apple’s iTunes Store. Initially, just 25 “classic” films from the MGM library, such as Dances with Wolves and Rocky, will be provided, the company said. Only Disney, where Apple Chairman Steve Jobs is the largest stockholder, has agreed to provide relatively recent films to the Apple website, where they can be viewed on any computer or on Apple’s video iPod.
I am a huge fan of iTunes and think that this is great news. MGM means that Strange Brew may be available for download one day – and that is a movie everyone needs to see. I hope in the future iTunes will release Indy films, it is a great way for up and coming filmmakers to get their art out there if distribution is a roadblock for them. Every day it seems like I am living in the future McFly, and I love it.
