    IMDB does not allow scraping. Any such plugin is always going to end up breaking. You should look at using TMDb API instead:
    http://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/api

    EDIT: Just to add, as you are not an established member yet, you can't post a request in B/S/T, but you can respond to people offer there services in the programming section:
    https://forums.digitalpoint.com/forums/programming.103/

    However, you could find someone on a site such as Freelancer. You can review their feedback to see if they are reliable or not.

    Yeah as ryan_uk already said, scraping is not a good idea and IMDB does not allow it. Scraping is an very unstable method of getting data and it's usually very inefficient. It could also be illegal since you're stealing other websites content. Would you want people to be scraping your website? Probably not.

    IMDB is known to change its sourcecode. Most of the unauthorized plugins leech the page and extract the information. So they tend to give errors whenever IMDB makes any changes in its code.

    Its better if you find any API solution for this.
