Jackass 2.5 to be released to the Internet

This is novel. MTV and the movie studios are releasing the next Jackass movie over the Internet.

Jackass 2.5" will instead be released to the Internet. The feature -- which combines unreleased footage from "Jackass Number Two" and new content -- was announced Thursday as a joint venture between Viacom-owned Paramount Pictures and MTV Networks.

Blockbuster Inc. will present "Jackass 2.5" free of charge at www.blockbuster.jackassworld.com beginning Dec. 19 through Dec. 31; on Dec. 26, DVDs of the film will be available for purchase on the site and at major retailers, as well as for rent at Blockbuster stores and the company's Web site. The film will also be available for download at iTunes, Amazon.com and other sites -- at a price.

Now insert the joke that no one would go watch it in the theater. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
