As the intent is to transition from mov.com to movie.com and the addresses 
are the same in both environments, you can use the same zone file for both 
domains.

	zone "mov.com" {
		...
		file	"com.movie";
		...
	};

	zone "movie.com" {
		...
		file	"com.movie";
		...
	};

Use your in-addr.arpa zone file to indicate the "official" name of the 
system.  After each system has been fully updated to be in the movie.com 
domain, change the PTR record to reflect the fact.
