Sky Movies prepares for rebrand

In addition to new names, a new on-screen look for the Sky Movies channels will go live on November 1st along with a new service to help guide users through the movies on offer each day.

For the first time ever, there will be a free premiere for non-movie subscribers - About a Boy on November 8th.

On November 15th, the Sky Movies broadcast of Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones on Sky Movies 3 will have a red button multi-start allowing viewers to select a start time of their choice.

Coinciding with the rebrand will be a new star ratings system in the EPG.

As first reported by Digital Spy earlier this year, the Sky Movies Premier and Sky MovieMax channels will be known as Sky Movies 1-9, with Sky Cinema 1-2 remaining as before.
