Studios on board for Apple’s new iTunes movie rentals are Walt Disney Studios, 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros., the L.A. Times reported Sunday, citing “people familiar with the plans.”

Pricing will be $2.99 for older films to $5 for high-definition downloads, the Times said, again echoing earlier reports. The rentals hang around on your computer for a month, but once viewing has begin the file has 24 hours to live. Yeah, like “Mission Impossible.”
