On-Demand Movie Streaming Services Coming to Letterboxd
Movie buffs rejoice! The social media platform you adore, Letterboxd, is stepping up its game with a brand-new venture: on-demand video streaming. Known for its movie rating, recommendation, and list-organizing features, the company is now set to challenge the status quo with the Letterboxd Video Store.
The Game Changer UnearthedTa-da! Letterboxd unveiled this exciting news at the prestigious Cannes film festival last Tuesday. Although details are scarce at the moment, we have a sneak peek of what's to come. The Video Store will be crammed with 'shelves' of hand-picked titles. But it's not just random films you'll find - think film festival hits, lesser-known gems, international masterpieces, and fresh works from budding filmmakers.
With an emphasis on under-the-radar movies, the Video Store might just become your ticket to catch a movie you'd otherwise miss. Rentals will follow the tried-and-true on-demand model, similar to Prime Video, Apple TV, or Google Play. However, the release date and specific scheduling for the feature remain a mystery for now. Rest assured, Letterboxd will officially spill the beans on films, regions, and launch dates in the not-so-distant future[1][2].
