Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Fox Searchlight, Comedy, Home Entertainment, New Releases, Technology,
While iTunes users have become used to seeing selections from Disney, DVD offerings from other studios have not come as quickly as some might have liked. But it looks like things may soon change.
Just today, Fox made Juno available for download via the popular site. This is the same day the Oscar-nominated film was placed on store and rental shelves. It’s likely the studio will allow more current titles to be sold in the future, but no immediate plans have been announced.
Meanwhile, Paramount has also started to dabble in Apple‘s waters as well. The company recently offered up Beowulf for purchase shortly after it debuted on DVD in February.
At last check, Juno (on sale for $14.99) was iTunes’ top seller.

Movie Rentals Coming to iTunes
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Home Entertainment, Technology,
Industry insiders are reporting that a deal has been struck between 20th Century Fox and Apple. This agreement would allow iTunes users to now rent movies from the online service. The films from the Fox catalogue would only be available for only a limited time.
Although no price has yet been set, the rentals should come cheaper than the movies for purchase. More details on this service are expected to be announced at the January Macworld conference.

If the first two Jackass movies left you wanting more, you’re in luck. Starting next week, fans of the series can view Jackass 2.5 online. The hour-long feature is not necessarily a new production; it was pieced together using extra footage from the second installment.
Come December 19th, the film can be viewed for free at Jackassworld.com. After the one-week trial period expires, the video will be available for purchase via other outlets like iTunes and Amazon.
