In a world where the theatrical distribution window is shrinking, how about a movie that’s out on demand before it gets into theaters? Movieline’s got an exclusive featurette from The Oxford Murders , an Elijah Wood/John Hurt murder mystery that comes out today on VOD, Xbox Live, Playstation, Amazon and Vudu, though it opens in theaters August 6.

The Oxford Murders Clip: Elijah Wood is a Baby-Faced Sherlock
It’s all too tempting to look down on the Twilight movie series — based on Stephenie Meyer’s explosively popular series of novels — as quickie pictures designed to herd in large audiences of indiscriminate, ticket-buying, Robert Pattinson-and/or-Taylor Lautner-loving teen- and tweenage girls. And with the exception of the first movie in the series, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, that’s exactly what they are. The real horror isn’t simply that these movies are bad — plenty of us were raised on, and loved, junk movies and crap TV. It’s that the folks at the top don’t think teen and tween audiences deserve better. The latest installment, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, directed by David Slade ( 30 Days of Night, Hard Candy ), while admittedly an improvement over last year’s barely coherent New Moon, only adds insult to injury. Nothing so grand as a real eclipse, it’s more just a massive blind spot.

Add Elijah Wood to the list of film actors who are crossing over to television this year. The Lord of the Rings alum will star in FX’ s adaptation of the Australian series Wilfred . Jason Gann, who co-created and starred in the original project, will reprise his role as the title character for the U.S. iteration. The pilot script, from David Zuckerman ( Family Guy , American Dad ) centers on a guy (Wood) and a mixed-breed dog Wilfred (Gann) “who is part Labrador retriever and part Russell Crowe on a bender.” This marks Wood’s first starring role in a television series.
