Swedish internet movie service Voddler has signed a contract with the US film giant Warner Bros. Entertainment. The deal covers film material from Warner Bros and New Line Cinema.

"We are happy that another Hollywood major has chosen to distribute its films via Voddler. Our ambition is an in-depth cooperation with all the leading film companies to offer a broad selection of movies," said Zoran Slavic, Voddler executive vice-president, in a statement on Wednesday.

Warner Bros. is part of the Time Warner Inc. group and has released films such as Harry Potter, The Departed, Batman and The Blind Side.

After a period of inaction Voddler launched its new browser this week intended to make it easier for its 450,000 registered users to find their favourite films. The firm plans to extend its service to Norway and Denmark at the end of March, and in Finland later in the spring.

Worlds worst user software interface every and old old films, whats all the hype about??

Since i am with one of Voddlers partners i got a free Voddler invite, waste of time and bandwidth... plus as an added bonus comes with some sort of spyware (?) that keeps connecting back to voddler even when i am NOT using it!

Movies stop inbetween, old movies (as mentioned above), horrible interface... list goes on and on and on...

Would rather visit one of the online streaming sites for movies, quick, to the point , no hassle - IF you dont want to spend 5 minutes to learn how to use bit torrent of course.

Voddler would have been good, but i guess they have to bend over all the time to the content owners and those geezers dont have a clue as to whats good today.

Voddler interface is horrible and lame content. I will stick with divx and the streaming sites.
