Voddler, the Swedish based film-on-demand service sometimes referred to as “Spotify for films”, is set to finally launch outside of Scandinavia in Spain on June 11th. The original launch date was set to be June 1st but has been delayed due to technical problems according to the company.
Early in 2010 we were the first to bring you an exclusive interview with the team at Voddler and were also one of the first to bring you a review of the new web based version of the client. At the moment, around 60,000 users have been invited to sign-up to be invited to use the new service but it will be opened-up to everyone from September.
Voddler offers a huge catalog of ad-supported free films along with a selection of premium releases (currently including films such as Inception, Harry Potter and Tron) for around $6. One of the major criticisms we noted in the early days of the service was the lack of major releases available. However, since then, Voddler has signed deals with most major film labels in Hollywood allowing them to offer a much better selection.
If you can’t wait until June 11th to see what Voddler has to offer, don’t forget to check out our full review of the Scandinavian version.
