This is not supported at the moment in Dolphin and there are no plans to 
fetch metadata that are not accessible through Nepomuk or the 
Strigi-analyzers. I also doubt that it is good idea to fetch such kind 
of meta-data each time from the net without caching it - I understand 
the legal restrictions from IMDb, but if it does not allow the data to 
get cached, then it is just no option from my personal point of view.
