Adding To The Lineup, Moving Pictures Launches Own New Magazine Series "The Moving Pictures Show" 

(Los Angeles, CA) September 30th, 2009 - Prepared to meet the demands of the fast-accelerating world of HD television, Moving Pictures Film & TV announces a roster of 23 feature films and more than 100 hours of television series and specials in the 1080-format that will be introduced to buyers at MIPCOM 2009 (October 5-9, 2009, Cannes, France). Adding to the lineup is Moving Pictures' own new magazine series, "The Moving Pictures Show" (13X30'), which will debut at MIPCOM. 

The new HD TV content is a result of Moving Pictures' recently-announced acquisition of the Bennett Media Worldwide operation on September 1. The TV programming, originally shot in HD, includes the new season of "Bikini Destinations" (45 x 30'), generally positioned at the head of its genre class in worldwide popularity; "The Wild Side" (14 x 30'); "Destination X" (26 x 30'); and "DNA of Sport" (13 x 30').  

The HD film side includes, from the recently-announced acquisition of Victory Films' classic library, "Zulu Dawn" (Burt Lancaster, Peter O'Toole), "Ashanti" (Michael Caine, Omar Sharif), and a dozen horror and action films -- all of which have been upconverted to HD 1080p24. Among those from Moving Pictures' catalog are "Being Michael Madsen" (mocumentary starring Michael Madsen, Virginia Madsen, Darryl Hannah) and "Mattie Fresno and The Holoflux Universe" (Carol Alt, Orson Bean).  

"With our arsenal of HD film and TV content and our launch of 'The Moving Pictures Show' we're demonstrating our successful evolution into a world-class media company," said Margaret Tritch, president.
