'William & Kate' film coming to Blinkbox

Hollywood's take on the royal love story between Prince William and Kate Middleton is to be released on video on-demand website Blinkbox.


William & Kate: The Movie will become available to watch on Blinkbox this Saturday, ahead of the couple's big day at Westminster Abbey on April 29.

Directed by Emmy Award-winner Frank Konigsberg, the film follows the couple's love story from when they met at St Andrew's University through their nine-year courtship and Prince William's proposal.

British-born actress Camilla Luddington plays Kate Middleton, but the part of William is taken by New Zealander Nico Evers-Swindell.

The TV movie, which has received a less than glowing reaction from the critics, will also be aired on British television as part of Channel 5's royal wedding coverage.

Yesterday, Tesco announced the acquisition of an 80% stake in VOD provider Blinkbox, as part of the supermarket chain's drive into digital home entertainment.
