Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is joining the mobile wave with an app that works across multiple platforms and devices (iPhone/iPod Touch, BlackBerry and Android), providing fans with advanced schedules, film historical information, fan commentary, video content, TCM’s movie blog, and an abundance of photo galleries.
Here’s the rundown of the TCM app features:
- A complete schedule of movies playing on TCM, with full-month views up to two months in advance.
- Access to the TCM Movie Database, complete with synopses, credits, trivia, detailed background information from the American Film Institute film catalog and fan comments.
- Rich video content, including hundreds of movie clips, trailers and TCM promos.
- Photo galleries for films playing on TCM, including original lobby card sets, behind-the-scenes production stills, publicity stills, original poster art and more.
- In-depth articles by TCM staff members writing about the history and making of nearly every film on TCM.

The TCM app is available now in the U.S. for $2.99 from the Apple AppStore. BlackBerry and Android versions are set to hit the market in February…
