Don't hold back

An interview in Wired magazine with Steven Soderbergh examines his decision to release on DVD and at the cinema with his new film. In his own words:
Name any big-title movie that's come out in the last four years. It has been available in all formats on the day of release. It's called piracy. Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings, Ocean's Eleven, and Ocean's Twelve - I saw them on Canal Street on opening day. Simultaneous release is already here. We're just trying to gain control over it.

I'm in favour of this approach for the Landcrab Film Festival next year. Buy the DVD on the way out!
