Steven Soderbergh is set to release his newest movie, Bubble, on January 27 in the theaters, on DVD and on HDTV simultaneously.

Soderbergh makes a great point in his interview with Xeni:

Name any big-title movie that’s come out in the last four years. It has been available in all formats on the day of release. It’s called piracy. Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings, Ocean’s Eleven, and Ocean’s Twelve - I saw them on Canal Street on opening day. Simultaneous release is already here. We’re just trying to gain control over it.

I remember reading a while back that Mark Cuban has been planning to pull of this stunt for a while. Wait a minute…

Yep. This was from an interview in 2003 with… Xeni Jardin. Mark owns Landmark Theaters and HDNet. In the interview he talks about simultaneous releases. I bet he is doing this with Soderbergh.

Yep. Cuban is the Executive Producer
