The Financial Times (regsistration required) is reporting that YouTube's parent Google has been in talks with major movie studios recently. The rumor going around is Google wants to offer pay-per-view movies via their YouTube web property. Each movie would cost around $5 and be available at the same time as the DVD release.
YouTube has been testing a pay-per-view option, using indie titles, since early this year. If Google reaches agreements with the studios they expect to launch by end of this year.
