Peace Arch Home Entertainment Partners with

First Look Home Entertainment

to Distribute DVDs Exclusively in Canada


TORONTO - Peace Arch Home Entertainment, a division of Peace Arch Entertainment Group® Inc. (AMEX:PAE - News) (TSX:PAE.TO - News), announced today that it has signed an output deal with First Look Home Entertainment, a division of First Look Studios Inc., for the exclusive Canadian distribution rights to all of First Look Home Entertainment’s direct-to-video new release and catalogue titles.  


This landmark agreement is an extension of the relationship between the companies, as Peace Arch has been distributing First Look Home Entertainment titles in Canada on a non-exclusive basis for the past three years.  


The first three titles, Relative Strangers, George and the Dragon and Caffeine will release April 10th, April 17th and April 24th respectively with many more to follow each month, at an average rate of one each week.


Relative Strangers stars Danny Devito (Big Fish, Get Shorty), Kathy Bates (Failure to Launch, TV’s Six Feet Under, Misery), Neve Campbell (Scream Trilogy, When Will I be Loved), and Ron Livingston (TV’s Standoff, Office Space).  This impressive cast represents over $3 billion in box office revenue.  


Dr. Richard Clayton (Ron Livingston) has it all; a loving fiancée, Ellen (Neve Campbell), two wonderful and supportive parents, a successful career as a psychiatrist, and a self-help book on anger management climbing the best seller list - until his jealous brother tells Richard he was adopted.  Frank and Agnes Manure (Danny DeVito and Kathy Bates), a couple of crude and unrefined carnies proceed to make Richard’s life miserable.


Caffeine stars many hot young actors including Mena Suvari (American Beauty, American Pie, American Pie 2), Katherine Heigl (TV’s Grey’s Anatomy - 2007 Golden Globe® Nominee), Breckin Meyer (Garfield: The Movie, Garfield: Tale of Two Kitties) and Marsha Thomason (TV’s hit Las Vegas).


During one lunchtime at the offbeat coffee house The Black Cat Café, the relationships of the quirky staff and several couples are turned upside down by the sudden revelations of embarrassing secrets about their sexual behavior… and misbehavior.


George and the Dragon, a period film filled with knights and dragons, stars James Purefoy (TV’s Rome, Vanity Fair), Piper Perabo (Cheaper by the Dozen, Coyote Ugly), Patrick Swayze (Dirty Dancing, Ghost), Michael Clark Duncan (The Green Mile, The Whole Nine Yards) and a cameo by Val Kilmer (Batman Forever, Tombstone).


George, a handsome English knight tired from battle, desires to hang up his sword and settle down to a quiet, peaceful life. On returning to England, he heads north where the land is ruled by kindly King Edgaar, who happens to be in a terrible state. His beautiful daughter Lunna has recently disappeared. In return for a small plot of land, George agrees to search for Princess Lunna and immediately sets out with King Edgaar's faithful servant, Elmendorf – leading to an unimaginable adventure.  


Other notable titles will include A Little Trip to Heaven starring 2007 Golden Globe® winner Forest Whitaker; Wes Craven’s The Breed starring Michelle Rodriguez; First Born starring Academy Award® nominee Elizabeth Shue; The Couple starring Academy Award® winner Martin Landau; Journey to the End of the Night starring Brendan Fraser, and many more.


 

Berry Meyerowitz, president of Peace Arch Home Entertainment said, “First Look Studios has transformed itself into one of the top independent studios in the U.S.  The quality of their titles is fantastic, and we look forward to a long term, mutually beneficial partnership.”
