Apple in Talks to Stream Films Owned By EPIX?

Apple is reportedly in talks to stream films offered by EPIX, a service created by Lionsgate, MGM, and Paramount, according to Reuters.

One of the sources told Reuters that any discussions would apply to its set-top box and also to upcoming devices that stream content. Apple is widely expected to unveil a full-fledged TV product later this year or in early 2013 to drive its next phase of growth and potentially revolutionize the industry.

Apple has been stymied for much of the past year in securing marquee Hollywood content. Talks with EPIX are in the preliminary stages and no agreement is considered near, the source said.


Netflix currently pays $200 million a year for exclusive rights to stream EPIX movies to its customers; however, that agreement ends in September.
