Verizon Wireless now offers on V CAST, the premium subscription movie service from Crackle. Crackle Movies provide Verizon Wireless with movie hits from the Sony Pictures library, including "Cable Guy," "Finding Graceland," "Blind Date," "The China Syndrome," "Easy Rider," "Gattaca," "La Bamba," and more to watch on their phones.
A Crackle Movies premium subscription is available to customers for $5.99 per month in addition to the $10 monthly subscription for V CAST Video on Demand. There are no megabyte charges to download, stream or watch V CAST content with any V CAST subscription; however, customers must subscribe to a data package for a data usage allowance.
Crackle Movies' content on V CAST Video features a wide array of
genres, including comedy, action, drama, sci-fi and popular feature
films. More than 19 movies are available to subscribers at launch, with
a refresh of two movies per week, allowing customers to access at least
25 different movies per month. Crackle Movies can be found on V
CAST-capable phones in the Media Center/Get It Now under V CAST
Video/Pop Culture/Crackle Movies.
Customers with select BlackBerry smartphones can find content on
their handsets under Menu/V CAST Video/Pop Culture/Crackle Movies, and
customers with Android smartphones can find the V CAST Video app in
Android Market™ by searching for V CAST Video. Customers can also
access other premium Crackle content, including Crackle Originals, a
highly acclaimed Web series ranging from comedy to suspense, and
Minisodes, shorter versions of classic television shows, under the
"Cutting Edge" category.
"We're excited to bring Crackle's selection of great movies to Verizon Wireless," said Eric Berger,
senior vice president, digital networks, Sony Pictures Television.
"Together, we are enhancing the mobile entertainment experience for
Verizon Wireless customers with highly engaging full-length features."
"This
new option for V CAST Video customers will let them watch movies on
demand on their phones. Crackle Movies' catalog rounds out the choices
for our customers," said Terry Denson, vice president of content acquisition and strategy at Verizon.
