The new Jackass film isn't going to be released in the cinema, and isn't going straight to DVD. It's going to be free to watch on the internets from the 19th of this month for two weeks
then it'll be released on DVD and available on iTunes.
Strange, but yay for free people getting hurt humorously.

Whoa, here's a surprise. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that the highly successful Jackass franchise is sending its next film, Jackass 2.5, directly to the internet. It will skip the theatres entirely (though it was originally rumoured to be going straight to DVD).
The film will be on-line, free of charge courtesy of Blockbuster Video, for two weeks starting December 19th of this year. You can view the film at blockbuster.jackassworld.com. Then the movie moves to DVD and iTunes, as "part of a light-speed reinvention of the customary distribution-window chain. The domestic release strategy also will be replicated internationally in early 2008, but with different distribution partners." Jackassworld.com will now be the permanent on-line spot for all things Jackass, with new content due to start February 9th, 2008.
