FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
"THE IMMORTAL" GOES TO CAMERA WITH
KEY INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC SALES IN PLACE
Vancouver, BC - (June 27, 2000) - TIM GAMBLE, PRESIDENT OF PEACE ARCH
ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. (AMEX: "PAE"; TSE: "PAE.A", "PAE.B"), AND JAMIE BROWN,
MANAGING DIRECTOR OF BRITISH CO-PRODUCER STUDIO EIGHT PRODUCTIONS, ANNOUNCED
TODAY THAT FILMING OF THE IMMORTAL, STARRING LORENZO LAMAS (RENEGADE), COMMENCED
IN VANCOUVER DURING THE MONTH OF MAY 2000.
"Lorenzo is a world-class star and he is joined by a tremendously talented
supporting cast in a show which is exceeding all of our expectations," stated
Peace Arch President, Timothy Gamble. "The resulting chemistry on set, matched
with non-stop action, spectacular special effects and a liberal amount of humor,
is creating a show that is pure entertainment for viewers around the globe."
THE IMMORTAL, a television series which involves the eternal quest to conquer
the forces of darkness, combines the action of MATRIX (highlighting Lamas'
physical and athletic skills) with the mysticism of KUNG FU and the intrigue of
X-FILES. PEACE ARCH ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. IS THE NORTH AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR
AND HILLTOP ENTERTAINMENT LLC. IS THE INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTOR. WESTERN
INTERNATIONAL SYNDICATION IS HANDLING FIRST-RUN SYNDICATION IN THE U.S.
International distributor HILLTOP ENTERTAINMENT'S President, Harel Goldstein,
announced that the series has been pre-sold in most primary international
markets and highlighted broadcast sales to France's largest network (TF1) and
Germany's Tele-Muenchen. Hilltop Entertainment has concluded an agreement with
Columbia TriStar International Television for most of the remaining unsold
territories.
In the United States, THE IMMORTAL is set for its first-run syndication launch
in late September 2000, and some of the stations presently on board include such
prestigious broadcasters as WCBS - TV (New York), KNBC-TV (Los Angeles), WCIU-TV
(Chicago), KBWB-TV (San Francisco), KNWS-TV (Houston), KSTP-TV (Minneapolis),
PSN and the Web Network. Western Syndication reports that recent sales to the WB
100+ station group have increased the fall debut to 147 stations covering over
80% of the country. Commenting on the WB purchase in Electronic Media, station
group executive Natalie Anderson stated, "We always search for top-quality,
first-run programming that complements our other shows, and THE IMMORTAL fits
nicely into our weekend programming."
PEACE ARCH ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC. creates, produces and distributes
proprietary content for worldwide television and the Internet. In addition to
THE IMMORTAL, Peace Arch Entertainment is currently producing 66 episodes of its
international hit sci-fi series, FIRST WAVE; and production will soon begin on a
