San Diego Comic - Con is one of the freehanded pop polish effect of the year , but it ’s only a few dotty days long . That might be changing thanks to a new partnership between Comic - Con and Lionsgate , which want to build a video recording - based subscription service to turn the consequence into a “ year - wide solemnization . ”
The hatful , announced this forenoon , will see the creation of a TV - on - requirement military service that fans could support to offer up short - form video subject matter , archived footage immortalize at past Comic - Cons , and , because it ’s a mountain with Lionsgate , access to TV and movie mental object owned by the society ( presumably to stretch out the fact that you ca n’t exactly make a yr ’s worth of contentedness about Comic - Con ) . Here ’s a snippet from the press departure :
The new service will plunge with a broad portfolio of content including original short - form depicted object created exclusively for the epithelial duct ’s reader , films and television series from Lionsgate and other studio apartment designed to appeal to the divers interestingness of Comic - Con ’s fan understructure as well as undivided archived footage from Comic - Con ’s 45 - twelvemonth account . As part of the new channel , the two ship’s company will also work nearly to make the Comic - Con International Independent Film Festival ( CCI - IFF ) a 365 - day - a - twelvemonth online case .
So what is the exclusive content going to be ? The idea of it being short physique sound like it could be interview rather than panels from the con .
While it ’s unbelievable that the plethora of Con - exclusive laggard or abstract peeks would ever be made usable outside of attendees actually at panels , mayhap the service will allow multitude ineffective to attend to at least see some of the material going on at the show . Maybe not subsist and as it happens — after all , there has to be an inducement for people to go , after all — but maybe archived after the fact . That could be pretty cool . But will the subscription service be worth it if it does n’t offer actual breaking Comic - Con news and event coverage ?
There ’s no details about pricing tiers just yet , but the service of process is due to set up in the nebulous time frame of “ later this class ” — which sounds an awful pile like it might lose this year ’s installment in July .
