HD For Indies

This will be interesting, not only from the simultaneous release aspect but what it means for DVD content creation.
I enjoy seeing a movie huge in the theater (haven't gotten the home projector... yet!), but I really enjoy purchasing DVDs for the bonus features. I don't know how these are timed production-wise at this point, but you have to wonder how the bonus content creators will react to finishing assembling the features by the time the DVD comes out.
Does this mean more "Bubble - DVD" / (two months later) "Bubble - DVD Special Edition" / (two more months later) "Bubble - DVD Ultimate Edition...

good point!

I think it likely that the simultaneous release will be JUST the feature, and then less costly, more extras versions come out later. The same way there are presently windowed releases for movies, there will be windowed DVD releases I'm guessing:

1.) Simul-release - $30, just the feature
2.) 3 months later - "regular and normal" DVD with more features, $20 street (and plain version that was $30 now $15-18?)
3.) If successful, ultimate edition for $25 3 months after that

Just a guess.

Then fold HD into the equation...

Honestly, I believe this issue is about more than just economics; it's an issue that could potentially change the future of how we view movies. I can easily see a world fifteen/twenty years from now where people no longer feel it necessary to go out and watch a newly released movie on the big screen when they can conveniently watch it from the comfort of their own homes. In my opinion, this is a damn shame. It just gives people another excuse to be lazy. Not only that, it's killing tradition. The theater is a blessing. It is a place where we can go out to with friends and family and hang out to watch a movie. But if this new way of releasing films out straight to dvd simultaneously takes over the industry, there is a great chance theaters will lose a ton of business and perhaps seize to exist. We just can't lose that part of our culture. As a filmmaker, I'd have to go with M. Night Shyamalan (who "alarmed by Soderbergh's plan to make six high-definition video movies for same-day release, pubicly vowed he'd rather forsake filmmaking altogether than see his movies debut on the small screen" (Claudia Eller-"Hollywood Hits Home)) on this one. Maybe I'm just bitching, but I really hope people can see where I'm coming from.
