Movielink(R) (http://www.movielink.com), the leading U.S. broadband
video-on-demand (VOD) download service, and KOCH Entertainment, announced today
a distribution agreement to make a wide variety of KOCH titles available for
digital delivery via Movielink's rental and purchase service, including an
exclusive director's cut version of the controversial documentary The Lost Tomb
of Jesus, which recently aired on the Discovery Channel.
Starting April 24, Movielink users will be able to download The Lost Tomb of
Jesus, a provocative documentary that purports to offer proof of the discovery
of Jesus' family tomb including evidence suggesting Jesus and Mary Magdalene
were married and that they even had a son named Judah. The title will be
exclusively available on Movielink for a month before it is available on other
digital platforms. The Lost Tomb of Jesus download will feature over one hour of
bonus materials including interviews and an epilogue with executive producer
James Cameron and director Simcha Jacobovichi. The feature-length documentary
includes dramatic recreations, based on the latest historical evidence, that
offer the most authentic cinematic representations of Jesus of Nazareth, his
family, his followers, his ministry, his crucifixion and his entombment.
Movielink users will also have access to KOCH's extensive selection of
independent feature films, documentaries, musical performances, television shows
and educational videos, adding to Movielink's library of more than 3,000 titles.
Engaging documentaries like Heart of Darkness - The Vietnam War Chronicles:
1945-1975, A to Zeppelin: The Story of Led Zeppelin, and Inside John Lennon,
classic television series like the Andy Griffith Show and the Beverly
Hillbillies, and educational videos and musical shows such as Golf Strategies,
will all be available for Movielink users to enjoy anytime, anywhere.
