Web's first e-première
August 17th, 2003
A British film,thriller set on desolate moorland, is to be the world's first "e-premi�e" when it is released on the internet at the same time as in cinemas. The thriller, written by "Full Monty" screenplay writer Simon Beaufoy, will be made available for streaming and download on the web on 5 September.
At the same time it is being streamed and digitally projected in a handful of British cinemas. The UK Film Council says it is the first time a movie will have had an official premi�e on the web with a simultaneous cinema screening.
Directed by Bille Eltringham, the film was written in less than two weeks and shot in 12 days on digital video (DV) cameras, similar to the technology used on US hit 28 Days Later.
