FoxPop to bring interactive features to DVD viewing experience
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fox Studios will release a new program in movie DVDs called 'FoxPop' that will allow users to access a constant flow of information, photos, games or trivia about the film they are watching.
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian will be the first film that comes with the experimental content as it releases to public on December 1. A free downloadable application for Mac, PC or iPhone users will allow them to get info about the movie on a separate screen.
FoxPop is the result of a collaboration between Fox and Spot411, an interactive entertainment company, which issued a statement that 80 percent of people who watched movies on DVD tend to do research about the movie later or sometimes immediately. The application will thus give appropriate info to the users as well as let them share comments and info through Facebook or Twitter.
The application will not cost more than the DVD. Fox already has an exclusive deal with Spot411 and will also release (500) Days of Summer, scheduled for December 22 and Jennifer's Body on December 29.
