Crackle.com Expands Movie Slate

NEW YORK: More than 100 feature films, including the blockbuster Spider-Man 2, are now available on the online video network Crackle.com, with dozens more on the way.

Crackle.com, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s premium video website, features titles such as Groundhog Day, Stripes, A Few Good Men, 1941, American Hardcore, El Mariachi, a handful of Godzilla movies, Big Fish, The Fan, LaBamba, People vs. Larry Flynt, Johnny Mnemonic and La Femme Nikita.

"Our movie lineup is unmatched online," said Eric Berger, the senior VP of digital networks for Sony Pictures Television. "These are the movies that matter for guys 18 to 34 and this is the next step in creating our direct to consumer network."

Crackle has also launched a new service called Crackle Cinemactive, an interactive game based on pop-culture facts related to movie video clips. Viewers select a theme and then play against the house, or use it as a tool to learn about their favorite films.

"Cinemactive brings a whole new element to online filmgoing," continued Berger. "From themes such as ‘Appetite for Apatow’ to ‘Villain Hall of Fame,’ we’ve used our library to create an interactive game experience around movies for those who think they know everything about them, or those who just want to learn more in a fun way."
