Sony’s Crackle.com to feature original programs and new movies including Spider-Man 2

YouTube may be dabbling in live streaming videos and Hulu may be getting Disney content, but don’t forget about Sony. Sony’s video site, Crackle.com, is turning it up by producing two video shows that will air only on Crackle.

Sony looks like it’s putting money behind these new shows. One is a drama about a crook who is trying to become a good person. The other is a comedy created by Kevin James (of Paul Blart fame). Expect high production values — with a look similar to television shows.

Also, Sony is going to put up movies as well. What films will be showing up on Crackle? Sony movies like Spider-Man 2 and Stripes. Sony does have an advantage that some video sites, like YouTube, doesn’t. Sony has produced a vast number of movies and television programs. Their experience in the field could be quite beneficial to differentiate itself from all the other video sites.
