Report: VizWoz Partners With Movie Studios For Film Content

UK virtual community VizWoz has signed content content deals with movie studios 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Walt Disney, and Universal Studios, according to a report from interactive media news site New Media Age.

Under the agreements, VizWoz will offer preview clips, trailers, and interviews for movie releases in its virtual cinema. The community is already screening content for Disney-Pixar film Wall-E and a treasure hunt promotion for 20th Century Fox film Meet Dave.

Launched in March, VizWoz added its cinema in April and has been showing content from TV shows such as Pat & Stan. The virtual world has reportedly attracted over 60,000 registered users so far.

Said VizWoz co-founder and CEO Dan Laurence: "Our aim is to offer a one-stop portal where kids can enjoy spending time in a safe and engaging environment that they can rely on to keep them ahead of the game."
