Paramount Releases Jackass 2.5 Free Online

Good content = visitors. Visitors = advertising. Advertising = money. Great content = a lot of visitors. A lot of visitors = Big advertising.
“Paramount Pictures, MTV and Blockbuster have partnered to distribute the latest feature length film from the daredevil reality franchise in an ad-supported environment,†reports ClickZ.
ClickZ also reports, “From December 19th through the 31st, the film will be distributed by movie rental firm Blockbuster’s Movielink service as a streaming video over Microsoft’s Silverlight media player. The movie won’t be directly available from Blockbuster, but instead will be distributed by the movie’s own site at blockbuster.jackassworld.com. As co-sponsor, Blockbuster will manage advertising for initial distribution of the film.
Blockbuster will also sell pre- and post-roll video advertising, and has signed on Clearspring to manage its inventory. Additionally, interactive marketing firm Deep Focus will support the release, according to CEO Ian Schafer.â€
Is this the new model for movies to be released free online? It takes a few big advertisers to put in the dollars and us viewers will be able to stream new movies free online. This model is much like Pandora, a music service site that plays songs all day long thanks to ads choosing what music you like, creating your own channels, etc.
I’m not saying this is the same, but I picture it much like Pandora, that same look where a movie will be displayed with ads around it while it is playing. I think this break out will have mega success and bring a lot of attention to this way of viewing movies online for advertisers.
I believe social media will have a big impact on this project as I’m sure that link will hit the first page of major social sites such as Digg and if smart, should place ads on Myspace and Facebook…MILLIONS of viewers.
