YouTube made-for-web movie debuts

Washington -YouTube on Friday began showing what it said was the first feature-length Hollywood movie created specifically for the internet.

Girl Walks Into A Bar is a comedy starring Carla Gugino, Zachary Quinto, Rosario Dawson, Danny DeVito, Josh Hartnett and Emmanuelle Chriqui, YouTube's entertainment marketing manager Nate Weinstein said in a blog post.

The movie is described as "a comedy about a seemingly unrelated group of characters spending a single night at 10 different bars throughout Los Angeles".

It was directed by Sebastian Gutierrez, who wrote the screenplay for Snakes on a Plane starring Samuel L Jackson, and produced by Gato Negro Films and Shangri-La Entertainment.

It can be watched at youtube.com/ytscreeningroom.

YouTube, which was bought by Google in 2006 for $1.65bn, has been adding professional content such as full-length television shows and movies to its vast trove of amateur video offerings in a bid to attract advertisers.
