We’ve recently added even more great films to our streaming service, having signed a deal with Optimum Releasing, a leading distributor in the UK indie market.
You can watch Oscar-nominees A Prophet and Coco Before Chanel, as well as The Brothers Bloom, Che Part 1 and Part 2, and classics like The Deer Hunter, The Pianist and One Million Years BC… Raquel Welch in a fur bikini – what’s not to like?
Mickey Rourke’s The Wrestler and Vicky Cristina Barcelona will be along in July, and Joaquin Phoenix’s study of celebrity (in which he pretended to give up acting and become a beardy hip-hop artist) – I’m Still Here – arrives in June.
We’ll be the first to stream most of these box-office hits in the UK, and all to watch instantly on the PC, internet-connected TVs, and PS3™ at no extra cost (if you’re on a subscription of £5.99 a month or more).
Simon Calver, our CEO, said: “LOVEFiLM’s catalogue is going from strength to strength with more and more distributors and studios joining our streaming service.”
Robb Smith, Head of Television and New Media of Optimum Releasing, said: “We’ve watched LOVEFiLM transform into a hugely popular hybrid service and we’re impressed by their continued expansion onto new device platforms. This is an important step for us as we roll out our digital strategy…”
