Downloadable Film Commentaries Becoming Popular?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the love-your-nerd-fans dept.

FilmFan writes "Now that Kevin Smith is offering a downloadable commentary for Clerks 2, will other Directors follow in his footsteps? Some studios think so and are already offering similar content for shows such as Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, and Star Trek: Enterprise. Other websites offer fan-created content and even offer a free DVD player capable of playing these downloaded commentaries in sync with a DVD."

    I dunno if I'd want to pay to see a movie twice in the theaters, just to hear the commentary however. I mean, how loud do you need your earbuds so you can even hear over the theater sound? Still, it is a really cool idea and since I know plenty of people who would be seeing a beloved movie multiple times in a theater anyway, this idea definately has an audience.
