Toht's Arm said:I think this is a really interesting idea, but surely it's one crying out for a legit digital download system? I know the studios continue to be reluctant to keep up with technology, but this kind of episodic filmmaking would be perfectly suited for video on demand?
Wouldn't you still want to see it in the cinema, however?
I figure part of the point is that it is, in its own way, a variation on the old serial format that inspired the series.
It also wouldn't help the apparent seriousness of the project if it could be viewed at home. As much as the serial element, it is a method that hearkens back to the event releases of yesteryear, but with a chapter format standing in place of the old manner of releasing films at only a few theaters that had the technological capacity.
