Paramount on Jaman
July 15, 2008
Paramount has signed on to offer its movies on online rental service Jaman.com, according to VB sister publication Variety.
We don't hear about Jaman as much as the bigger online services, Movielink, CinemaNow, iTunes and Amazon Unbox. But Jaman could be the snail to the other services' hare.
Upto now, Jaman has been offering mainly independent fare, with movies including 2008 Sundance Audience Award winner Shake Hands With the Devil and older films such as Cary Grant/Audrey Hepburn classic Charade. The movies are ad-supported and offered free.
But technology-wise, Jaman has two things going for it: it offers movies in high-def and it streams content without the user having to download a player.
When TV manufacturers start buildiing Internet connections into their TV sets -- which they will, if they haven't already -- Jaman looks to be the service that'll be best equipped to service them.
