Sony Series Will Start on Web, Go to DVD
By SARAH MCBRIDE, Wall Street Journal
Sony Corp. will launch its new show “Angel of Death” on the Web, but it is using an approach that it hopes will drive sales of DVDs and boost other distribution avenues down the road.
“Angel,” scheduled for release early next year, tells the story of an assassin who is so haunted by her victims that she decides to kill the people who ordered the hits, one by one.
The series will be released online eight minutes at a time, over 10 weeks, on various Sony-affiliated Web sites. After the Internet run, Sony will release a traditional DVD of the series, adding scenes to tie the pieces together in a movie-like way.
