briefing.
Marvel Enterprises, Inc. has assigned Lions Gate Entertainment
the licenses to develop, produce and distribute feature films
based on two of Marvel’s properties; Iron Fist and Black
Widow. The announcement was made yesterday by Lions Gate CEO,
Jon Feltheimer and Avi Arad, Chairman & CEO/Marvel Studios. The new
agreements expand the pre-existing relationship between Marvel and
Artisan Entertainment, acquired by Lions Gate in December 2003, which
allowed Artisan to produce and distribute feature films based upon
Marvel’s character, The Punisher. Marvel and Lions Gate will share
equally in certain revenues derived from the properties, with Lions Gate
funding development, production and distribution. Marvel will be handling
all merchandising in connection with the films. The Punisher (Rated
R) opens nationwide April 16, with plans for a sequel already signed,
sealed and in development.
Following the recent announcement that Peak Entertainment Holdings
Inc./Silly Goose Company, LLC, will acquire the exclusive
rights to develop the preschool series concept The
Wumblers,the project series is officially underway.
Production began at Cosgrove Hall, the UK-based animation studio, on the
2D animation series, aptly titled The Wumblers (26 x 10). Under the
terms of the acquisition, Peak holds worldwide broadcast, merchandising
and licensing rights. The Wumblers is slated to be ready for a
spring 2005 debut. Peak intends to license the characters to drive an
extensive consumer products campaign, which includes the manufacture and
distribution of toys and related products.
MTV's The Real World (Bunim-Murray Prods) is heading to
Philadelphia, The City of Brotherly Love, for the production of
its 15th season this spring. The series will premiere on MTV in the fall
