Torrent-Only Movie Denied IMDb Listing

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-list-for-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A film set to be released for free via BitTorrent has been denied a listing in the Internet Movie Database. The Tunnel is currently in production and despite pleas from the makers, IMDb won't allow it on their site. The creators of this horror movie believe that because they have shunned an official distributor and chosen a BitTorrent model instead, this has put them at a disadvantage with the Amazon-owned site."

    In the other universe, digital distribution doesn't exist at all and is no more potent a force than than a barely perceptible breeze.
