Direct from the Big Screen to the Really Little Screen

by

If you’re an AT&T user, you’re cell phone could also be your next movie theatre.

That is, if you like to watch recent blockbusters on a 1″x1″ screen.

I kid a bit, but it is truly amazing.

Sony is opening up its film vault for cell phone users.

Here’s an excerpt from a Sony press release today:

Sony Pictures Television Launches PIX

First U.S. Motion Picture Network Offering Contemporary Films Via Mobile
Phones

PIX Will Premiere On AT&T Mobile TV

CULVER CITY, Calif., March 31 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Pictures Television today announced PIX, the first domestic network for mobile phones that will feature contemporary films. Viewers on the go will now be able to watch their favorite comedies, cult classics, heart-pounding action films and family favorites from the studio’s vast library in the palms of their hands. Subscribers of AT&T Mobile TV, launching in May, will be able to enjoy access to PIX on their AT&T mobile phones…

Offering films from Columbia Pictures, Tri-Star, ScreenGems and Sony Pictures Classics, the ground-breaking service will include a versatile catalog of movies across all genres. The films will also be accompanied by added value material. Titles will be available for up to one month, with films added weekly. Some of the first titles to be offered include: Bugsy, Ghostbusters, Memento, Philadelphia, Karate Kid, Layer Cake, A League of their Own, Kung Fu Hustle, Resident Evil, In The Line of Fire, Groundhog Day, Stand By Me, Fisher King, and
Roxanne.

I guess us Verizon subscribers will just have to wait, like we having to wait for the iPhone. And will the Sony system win out as the standard like Blu-Ray has won out?

hoto: You’ll get the real Ghostbusters, not these geek wannabes, soon on AT&T via PIX. 2004 San Diego Comic-Con International - Day One, July 22, 2004.
