British movie releases simultaneously on big screen, 'Net, and DVD

This isn't strictly Netflix news, but it has Netflix-related implications. A British film is going to be the first ever to be released in theatres, on home video and on the Internet all at the same time. If it makes enough money, this will revolutionize how we get our movies.

You can read about it via Netimperative "The filmmakers believe that the choice as to how consumers view films should rest with the consumer and that theatrical, DVD and Internet forms of distribution need not threaten each other, and may indeed be mutually complimentary."

The film is called EMR, and you can read about it here.
