CinemaTech: The Cuban/Wagner Report 

CinemaTech: The Cuban/Wagner Report

The other week Scott over at CinemaTech had a nice update on what Mark Cuban of HDNet/Landmark Theaters/2929 Films was up to. For those that haven't been keeping up, Cuban is doing things like making films on HD, considering simultaneous PPV TV/DVD/theatrical releases, installing 4K projectors into theaters, etc.

There are links to a bunch of different articles.

This is recommended reading for those interested in the future of film distribution, since Cuban seems to be the one most aggressively exploring new options.
Comments:
Just finished reading that article. It rocked! Cuban and Wagner truly are innovators.

I talked about this yesterday.
It's for the same reasons studios continue to make half-assed sequels as people travel to the same place over and over again. You know what you get, you know It works, It's not WOW, but I'ts ok...and ok works if you plan to live a long and boring life ;)

Well for the same reason as the above, studios (and the people within them)are afraid of change.

You gotta embrace change, allow It to happen.
Acctually even seek It out.

To quote or fellow blogger Hugh Mcleod

"Change is not death,
fear of change is death."

Cuban, Wagner...continue to change, play around, try It out!

I know I will.
