Nolan and Favreau join battle against Premium Video on Demand

Posted by AuthorReid Volk | DateWednesday, June 1, 2011 at 11:22AM | In

A few more notable names have joined the fight against DirectTV's Home Premiere VOD (Video on Demand) service. This service, which is backed by Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, Universal, and Sony, would allow customers to watch a film only two months after it opens in theaters for $29.95. Consequently, theater owners and some big Hollywood names have expressed their distaste for this service.

Directors Christopher Nolan and Jon Favreau are the newest to join in this campaign against DirectTV and have added their names to an open letter that condemns the service. Other signatories include Quentin Tarantino, M. Night Shyamalan and James Cameron. What are your thoughts on this service?
