Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alec Baldwin Top SUBURBAN GIRL While
Chris Kattan and James Denton Mix Things up in UNDEAD OR ALIVE
CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2007--Image Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq:DISK), a leading independent licensee, producer and distributor of feature films and entertainment programming in North America, today announced an agreement with Odd Lot Entertainment to acquire U.S. theatrical, home video and non-broadcast digital rights to two of their feature films, Suburban Girl and Undead or Alive.
Suburban Girl is a romantic comedy based on two short stories from Melissa Bank's best selling short story collection, "The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing," about love, loss and ambition. Brett Eisenberg (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is a junior New York book editor struggling to make her way up the corporate ladder. When she meets the much older Archie Knox (Alec Baldwin), a powerful publisher known for trysts with younger women, she decides to stop playing it safe - with her career and her heart. Archie introduces Brett to the elite world of New York literati and she falls madly in love. But once Brett has everything she's worked so hard to get in life, she wonders, is it what she really wants? An Odd Lot Entertainment production in association with Catch 23 Productions. Produced by Deborah Del Prete, Gigi Pritzker, Daryl Taja. The film was written and directed by Marc Klein.
Undead or Alive, a comedic western, tells the tale of two friends who encounter a horrific adventure. Elmer Winslow (James Denton) is a soldier on the run from the Union Army, and Luke Budd (Chris Kattan) is a cowboy with a broken heart. When the two misfits rob the corrupt sheriff of an old west town, they have no idea that a plague of zombies is sweeping the country, or that Geronimo's sexy niece (Navi Rawat) may be their only hope of survival. Undead or Alive stars Chris Kattan, James Denton, Navi Rawat, Matt Besser, Chris Coppola, and Leslie Jordan. The film is written and directed by Glasgow Phillips (writer, "Southpark," "Father of the Pride," "The Adventures of Chico and Guapo"), and is produced by Odd Lot Entertainment's Deborah Del Prete and Gigi Pritzker, along with co-producer Linda McDonough. David Greathouse also produced.
"We have made a significant commitment to being in the feature film business and this agreement with Odd Lot is a perfect example of the type of high-quality, cast-driven projects that Image will bring to the marketplace," said David Borshell, Image Entertainment's Chief Operating Officer. "Odd Lot is a leader in independent feature production and we couldn't be more pleased to be in business with them."
"Image's enthusiasm for our product and their strong reputation in the entertainment industry made them the clear choice for these projects," said Bill Lischak, Chief Operating Officer of Odd Lot Entertainment. "We look forward to working with Image's team as these and other potential Odd Lot films are released into the marketplace."
Both films will be released through Image, with Suburban Girl available in 2008. Undead or Alive will premiere on DVD in December of this year and will be enhanced with featurettes and director commentaries.
