William Goldman, Paul Haggis, David Koepp Topline 'Screenwriting Expo 4,' Nov. 11-13 at L.A. Convention Center

William Goldman, Paul Haggis, David Koepp Topline 'Screenwriting Expo 4,' Nov. 11-13 at L.A. Convention Center

Nearly 4,000 Convene for World's Largest Screenwriting Conference

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The Los Angeles Convention Center will serve as a temporary home to the largest gathering of screenwriters in the world this fall when the annual Hollywood seminar, "Screenwriting Expo 4," gets under way the weekend of November 11-13.

The fourth annual Screenwriting Expo, presented by Creative Screenwriting Magazine, attracts nearly 4,000 screenwriters -- novice amateur to seasoned professional -- from around the globe, and as far away as Croatia and New Zealand. Over 320 seminar sessions and panels are offered, consisting of "A List" screenwriting talent, and world renowned instructors, in addition to story pitch meetings, script analysis, high-powered networking parties, cash prizes, and much more.

Headlining the event will be two-time Academy Award(TM) winner William Goldman ("Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "All the President's Men"), who will make two appearances: once speaking solo, and another with reining champion of blockbuster movie writing David Koepp ("War of the Worlds," "Spiderman," "Jurassic Park") as they discuss the art, craft, and business of writing for the silver screen. Goldman, the author of such iconic quotes as "Follow the money," and "Nobody knows anything," is also renowned as an entertaining, and always candid commentator on the world of Hollywood. Additional writers appearing as Guests of Honor include Academy Award(TM) nominee Paul Haggis ("Crash," "Million Dollar Baby"), Academy Award(TM) nominee Susannah Grant ("Erin Brockovich," "28 Days"), John August ("Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Go"), Ehren Kruger ("The Brothers Grimm," "The Ring"), Don Roos ("The Opposite of Sex," "Single White Female") and Joss Whedon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Toy Story").

Supplementing the featured Guests of Honor will be dozens of the most respected writers, professors, producers, consultants, and academics, including UCLA Screenwriting Dept. Chairman Richard Walter, "Top Gun" co-writer and USC professor, Jack Epps, Jr., author/consultant John Truby, screenwriter William Martell and many, many others.

A returning feature at this year's Expo is the very popular "Creative Screenwriting Open," an actual on-site, weekend-long, adjudicated writing tournament, which concludes with the top ranked scripts performed live at the Expo's closing ceremonies on Sunday, Nov. 13. Over $50,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded for all the contests at the Expo.

To better accommodate the varied skill level of attendees, speaker sessions are categorized accordingly at Beginner, Advanced, or Professional level. Last year the Expo was pleased to have one writer receive a nearly immediate offer on his reality TV.

Only three years old, with annual attendance 4,000 strong, a major reason cited for the Expo's growth has been the affordable admission fee -- $74.95 -- arguably the lowest charge anywhere for a conference of its caliber and magnitude.

Updated speakers, information, registration forms or purchases can be confirmed at www.screenwritingexpo.com, or by calling 1-800-727-6978. Checks and credit cards are accepted.

DC LABOR FILMFEST to Present Films on Working Women; Docs on Workers - On Strike and At War September 15-21

DC LABOR FILMFEST to Present Films on Working Women; Docs on Workers - On Strike and At War September 15-21

Co-presented by Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO; Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute & AFI

Jane Fonda and Documentarians Barbara Kopple, David Redmon, Alexandra Lescaze to Headline Guest Appearances

SILVER SPRING, Md., Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center will host the 2005 DC LABOR FILMFEST, an annual festival of films that explores working life, produced by the Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO; Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute; and American Film Institute. This year's Festival, to be presented at AFI Silver Theatre from September 15 to 21, focuses on themes relevant to workers everywhere -- from women's work issues to the travails of soldiering and striking for better work conditions.

In its fifth year, 2005 DC LABOR FILMFEST offers the Festival's most prestigious highlights to date, including special onstage appearances by two Academy Award winners, actress Jane Fonda -- with a 25th Anniversary Special Screening of NINE TO FIVE -- and documentarian Barbara Kopple, onstage to present HARLAN COUNTY, USA, the Oscar-winning documentary about workers on strike. Washington, DC, area premieres include a new documentary by director David Redmon, who will introduce MARDI GRAS: MADE IN CHINA onstage opening night, and the highly touted, often-humorous Canadian montage of clips about the women who operated the phone lines in North America from 1903 to 1989 -- THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERATOR.

"We're honored that some of the most notable, qualified voices in cinema will be joining us to discuss labor issues captured so brilliantly on film," says AFI Silver Theatre Director Murray Horwitz. "It's gratifying to be able to present such an engaging assortment of films about working life, films that audiences can relate to, feel for, laugh with -- covering just about all the emotions that accompany the workforce experience."

The Festival's exploration of working life includes features and documentaries about issues facing women in the workforce -- from navigating gender politics (NINE TO FIVE) to toiling as maids (MAIDS, by THE CONSTANT GARDENER director Fernando Meirelles), telephone operators (THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERATOR) and offshore factory bead workers (MARDI GRAS: MADE IN CHINA). From Italy, Ermanno Omi's moving 1961 classic IL POSTO offers sharp observations on the dehumanizing aspects of corporate enterprise. Capturing the sometimes life-threatening challenges of the world of work is brothers Brent and Craig Renaud's chronicle of soldiering in Iraq (OFF TO WAR) and Barbara Kopple's multi award-winning time capsules of strikes in a Kentucky coal mine (HARLAN COUNTY, USA) and a Minnesota factory (AMERICAN DREAM). Director Alexandra Lescaze will introduce her record of the largest union victory in the history of the South -- WHERE DO YOU STAND? STORIES FROM AN AMERICAN MILL. A humorous slant on the modern workplace will be provided by the satirical cult classic OFFICE SPACE.

Special events include the September 15 opening night onstage conversation with director David Redmon; Academy Award-winning documentarian Barbara Kopple September 16 with HARLAN COUNTY, USA; a special September 17 invitational reception for Jane Fonda and Karen Nussbaum, co-founder of 9to5, the organization for women office workers that inspired NINE TO FIVE, before a 7:30 p.m. open-to-the-public 25th Anniversary Screening of the film, with Fonda and Nussbaum live onstage; and September 18 appearances by director Alexandra Lescaze and The Hon. David Bonior, Chair, American Rights at Work.

For more information about 2005 DC LABOR FILMFEST, visit www.dclaborfilmfest.org, www.AFI.com/Silver or call 301.495.6700 for recorded programming information.

Tickets for all screenings (except the 25th Anniversary Screening of NINE TO FIVE) are $9.25 for general audiences; $7.50 for seniors, students and AFI members.

Lions Gate Films and LSL Productions to Co-Produce THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON

Film Is the Third From Lions Gate's Documentary Feature Unit

SANTA MONICA, Calif. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 1
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Lions Gate Films, the motion picture acquisition, production and distribution arm of Lions Gate Entertainment (NYSE:LGF) Toronto, and LSL Productions have begun pre-production on the documentary THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON, it was announced today by Kevin Beggs, President of Lions Gate Television Programming and Production and head of Lions Gate's documentary feature development and production arm, and Tom Ortenberg, President of Lions Gate Films Releasing.

The film, which has the support and cooperation of Yoko Ono, covers the period 1966-1976 and tells the story of John Lennon's transformation from beloved musical artist to anti-war activist to iconic inspiration for peace, and recounts the story of the U.S. Government's efforts to silence him. THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON will also show that this was not just an isolated episode in American history, but that the issues and struggles of that era remain relevant today.

THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON will be co-written, directed and produced by LSL Productions' David Leaf and John Scheinfeld. Steve Ligerman will produce for LSL. Sandra Stern, Executive Vice President of Lions Gate Television, Beggs, Ortenberg, and Nick Meyer, President of Lions Gate International, will serve as executive producers.

"Lions Gate is thrilled to be instrumental in bringing this momentous story to light," said Beggs. "We could not have envisioned a more dynamic nor enthusiastic team than we have found in David and John for this project. This is the kind of film that exemplifies the daring, high quality entertainment produced by Lions Gate throughout its divisions."

"This is an important story that we've wanted to tell for a long time," Leaf and Scheinfeld explain, "and we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Lions Gate, who shares our determination to make a film that will resonate strongly with audiences around the world."

Lions Gate Films will retain worldwide distribution rights to the project and plans to release the film theatrically in 2006, timed to the 30th anniversary of John Lennon being granted "Permanent Residency" in the U.S. Stern represented Lion's Gate in the deal while LSL was represented by Jon Flom of Character Arts and Bruce Kaufman of Broder Webb Chervin Silbermann.

About LSL Productions -- Privately held LSL Productions is one of the most respected companies in television and documentary production. Over the past decade, company partners David Leaf, John Scheinfeld and Steve Ligerman have produced critically-acclaimed music, comedy and documentary programming for broadcast, cable and theatrical exhibition.

With Scheinfeld writing and directing, production has just been completed on the feature-length documentary "Who is Harry Nilsson (and Why is Everybody Talkin' About Him)?" LSL is represented for theatrical production by Broder Webb Chervin Silbermann.

Lions Gate Entertainment's (NYSE:LGF) Toronto, documentary unit was established to identify and develop feature-length single-subject documentary projects suitable for television, theatrical and home entertainment distribution that reinforce the cutting edge Lions Gate brand. Kevin Beggs, President of Programming & Production for Lions Gate Television, presides over the unit, with Erik Nelson spearheading development as Vice President, Documentaries. Reporting directly to Beggs at Lions Gate, Nelson simultaneously maintains his role as Founder and CEO of Creative Differences (formerly Termite Art Productions).

The documentary unit's first release, Werner Herzog's critically-acclaimed Sundance award-winning GRIZZLY MAN, an exploration of the life and death of amateur grizzly bear expert and wildlife preservationist Timothy Treadwell, is currently successfully expanding its domestic theatrical run.

The unit's second production, world premiering at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival, is LEONARD COHEN I'M YOUR MAN, an intimate look at the songs, poetry and life of one of music's most celebrated and influential troubadours. Sure to please both diehard Cohen fans and the newly initiated, director Lian Lunson's film is a beautiful record of captivating music, and an intimate portrait of a truly singular artist. LEONARD COHEN I'M YOUR MAN is executive produced by Mel Gibson, Erik Nelson, Kevin Beggs and Sandra Stern.

Lions Gate is the premier independent producer and distributor of motion pictures, television programming, home entertainment, family entertainment and video-on-demand content. Its prestigious and prolific library is a valuable source of stable and recurring revenue, and it serves as a foundation for the growth of the Company's core businesses.

Winter Adventure Feature Film to Travel U.S. October Through December 2005 on First-Ever High-Definition Film Tour

BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- For a dedicated band of the world's most acclaimed winter sports athletes, the sport all about going downhill keeps reaching new heights. Warren Miller's HIGHER GROUND, an independent movie slated to visit theatres across the U.S. from October through December 2005, chronicles skiers and snowboarders in their never ending search for new and thrilling ways to ride the snow.

"Skiers and snowboarders constantly stretch and push limits; physical, emotional and gravitational," said Max Bervy, HIGHER GROUND's Producer/Director. "To achieve HIGHER GROUND we set out to capture a select group of individuals in amazing locations, pushing their athletic boundaries. For mountaineer Dave Barlia it meant flying 10 feet off the ground, at 130 miles per hour, while wearing his winged suit on the slopes of Chamonix, France. For World Cup mogul champion and Olympic Gold Medal favorite Jeremy Bloom, 'it was a life changing experience,' when we invited him to heli-ski for the first time in the wild backcountry terrain of British Columbia."

Part action/adventure, part documentary, Warren Miller's HIGHER GROUND also features legendary athletes such as big mountain skiers Jeremy Nobis and Seth Morrison, Ski-BASE jumping innovator Shane McConkey, and the sport's hot- dogging icon, Glen Plake, as well as up and coming stars like five-year-old phenom Bridger Gile.

With screenings often running for one night only, Warren Miller films have drawn a dedicated band of followers with hundreds of thousands attending each year.

Coming Attractions ... Mercury Becomes Official Automotive Sponsor of Landmark Theatres

Coming Attractions ... Mercury Becomes Official Automotive Sponsor of Landmark Theatres

- 2929 Entertainment's Landmark Theatres provides Mercury a breakthrough platform for the promotion of independent film.

- Relationship includes a complete integration of Mercury into the independent film experience.

- Continues Mercury's association with independent film following the success of "Meet The Lucky Ones."

DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford Motor Company's Mercury brand today announced an industry-first sponsorship of 2929 Entertainment's Landmark Theatres, the nation's largest independent film circuit, with 208 screens nationwide.

This ground-breaking, innovative deal will bring Mercury to the forefront of independent film sponsorship, which is driven by Mercury's commitment to community building with this niche. Mercury's goal with this program is to fully integrate into the independent film community. This will extend from the theatre experience to the marketing and promotion of select independent films.

This program reflects Mercury's focus on invigorating its brand as it launches a number of new vehicles, including the 2006 Mercury Milan sedan and the 2006 Mercury Mariner Hybrid compact SUV, both innovative new products that carry innovative new messaging.

"This sponsorship was a logical next step in Mercury's pioneering the 'experiential marketing' front, as well as in our ongoing efforts to cultivate the great storytelling found in independent films," said Linda Perry-Lube, CRM and e-business manager, Lincoln Mercury "The customer coming to a Landmark Theatre aligns perfectly with the customer we expect to see for our new vehicles, including the Mercury Milan sedan and Mercury Mariner Hybrid compact SUV -- a highly educated, tech savvy, cultured professional who likes to go out to a great restaurant, followed by a thought-provoking film."

"The Mercury sponsorship gives us the ability to support our independent film community and the films themselves to the best of our ability," said Mark Cuban, co-owner of Landmark's parent company 2929 Entertainment.

"Landmark has always had a tremendous commitment to promoting independent film," said Todd Wagner, co-owner and Chief Executive Officer of 2929 Entertainment. "Having Mercury as such an important and strategic ally in our continued efforts will immediately create opportunities essential to the continued growth and success of independent film."

This agreement creates a two year commitment between Mercury and all 208 Landmark screens across the country to launch creative programs -- both in theatres and on-screen -- that will be designed to promote independent film to a very discerning audience. Planned elements include: on-screen long-form content, interviews with filmmakers, premiere events, and sneak previews, etc. In addition, Mercury will be able to extend these efforts through FLM Magazine: The Voice of Independent Film and on Landmark FiLM Club. Landmark and Mercury will further support the independent film community by building marketing strategies directly with the independent film distributors.

"This relationship with Landmark Theatres allows us to reach our target customer in so many creative and entertaining ways," said Perry-Lube. "It is a perfect fit for the Mercury brand as it reaches out to a new, young, hip audience."

Landmark Theatres is part of 2929 Entertainment, an entertainment holding company created by Todd Wagner and Mark Cuban dedicated to using emerging digital technologies to redefine every aspect of the entertainment industry.

"As we create new Mercury vehicles like the Milan and Mariner Hybrid, we know our customer has a real love of storytelling," said Perry-Lube. "Working with Landmark Theatres is exciting because it opens up opportunities for us in the world of independent film ... and then gives us a venue to showcase our invigorated brand in very unexpected ways."

Mercury Ties to Independent Films in Other Ways

In addition to its Landmark Theatres contract, Mercury is also supporting independent film through its presenting sponsorship of AOL Moviefone(R)'s Short Film Festival, an online festival and competition, designed to showcase and discover the very best short-film programming from amateur and up-and- coming filmmakers around the world.

Also, Mercury is a sponsor of Glamour magazine's "Reel Moments," which are films inspired by essays submitted from Glamour readers and which feature up-and-coming female Hollywood talent.

"Meet the Lucky Ones" Created Buzz, Sold Cars

The Mercury brand made a serious commitment to the independent film movement in November 2004 with the launch of "Meet The Lucky Ones." "Meet The Lucky Ones" -- a story written and produced with an independent film sensibility about the often-comic misadventures of a quirky, slightly dysfunctional family -- unfolded over a five-week period via an interlocking combination of Internet-delivered short films.

The film made news because the vehicle -- the Mercury Mariner SUV -- was not the main focus of the story. And after five weeks of a well-executed online campaign, not only did the traffic to mercuryvehicles.com more than triple, nearly 500 consumers who learned of about Mariner via the film bought the vehicle. "Meet the Lucky Ones" recently found new life as 1 million copies were given to customers of Amazon.com who ordered DVDs from the online retailer during June and July.

IMAX Signs Theatre Deal With Commercial Real Estate Developer In Texas

IMAX Signs Theatre Deal With Commercial Real Estate Developer In Texas

2005 Box Office Success Continues To Drive North American Expansion

TORONTO, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IMAX Corporation (NASDAQ: IMAX; TSX: IMX) today announced an agreement with Texas-based commercial real estate developer TriMark Realty Investments to open an IMAX(R) theatre in Colleyville, TX, an affluent suburb of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The theatre will be the cornerstone of a new high-end cinema complex TriMark is developing and part of a 110,000 square foot expansion of the Town Center Colleyville retail hub. The deal comes on the heels of IMAX's record-breaking Hollywood blockbuster summer, which is driving increased interest in the IMAX theatre business. The Company has signed more than 50 theatre systems since August 2004, more than double the previous 12 month period.

"IMAX theatres across North America are achieving tremendous success with our digitally re-mastered blockbusters, which has captured the attention of domestic real estate developers and commercial operators," said IMAX Co-Chairmen and Co-CEOs Richard L. Gelfond and Bradley J. Wechsler. "The luxury cinema complex that TriMark Realty Investments is developing in Colleyville is a natural home for an IMAX theatre and we look forward to showcasing The IMAX Experience(R) in this high-end venue."

"Moviegoers are increasingly looking for a premium, differentiated moviegoing experience, and an IMAX theatre will enable us to satisfy that demand, lure people away from their home theatre systems and drive traffic to our cinema, as well as the surrounding businesses," said Bill Baldridge, CEO and Founder of TriMark Realty Investments. "We were also very impressed by the compelling economics of the IMAX MPX(R) theatre system and believe it provides us with an attractive business opportunity."

"The well-known IMAX brand will be a valuable addition to the city of Colleyville, as it can attract people from surrounding areas and help draw additional tourism revenue to our city," said David Kelly, Mayor of the City of Colleyville. "By offering a mix of the best Hollywood blockbusters and enriching original documentaries in IMAX's stunning format, we'll be providing moviegoers in Colleyville with an entirely new way to be entertained and educated."

The IMAX theatre in Metro Cinema Colleyville is expected to open in May 2006 and be part of a luxury entertainment complex outfitted with an upscale restaurant and bar. The theatre will be capable of showing Hollywood films converted into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience, as well as other 2D and IMAX(R) 3D films. The IMAX MPX theatre system was specifically designed to enable multiplex operators to more cost effectively enter into the IMAX theatre business, by retrofitting an existing stadium seating auditorium or via an economical new build. Colleyville is located in the heart of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metropolitan area.

Anti-War Film Gallipoli Starts its Theatrical Run in London

Anti-War Film Gallipoli Starts its Theatrical Run in London

LOTTSTETTEN, Germany, August 31/PRNewswire/ --

- An Ekip Film Production

- Written and Directed by: Tolga Örnek

We are pleased to introduce the new powerful anti-war film: Gallipoli.

It's 1915 and the First World War has a new front.....

It had all started as a simple demonstration in January of 1915.
The British-French fleet would attack the Dardanelles, sail through to the
Ottoman Capital, Istanbul, and knock the Ottoman Empire, their enemy and
Germany's ally, out of the war. When the naval attack failed, the British
Government decided to land troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula to capture the
shore defenses to enable the navy's passage. This decision led to one of
the largest landing operations in history and one of the bloodiest and
controversial battles of World War I. It changed nations forever.

Narrated by:
Jeremy Irons
with
Sam Neill

Gallipoli is the outcome of a 6-year effort which was produced in
seven different countries. It's written and directed by the award winning
Turkish director Tolga Örnek. The film has been researched in more than 70
archives in Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Australia, Austria, New
Zealand and Turkey and more than 20 international historians have been
consulted. To make the story as objective and historically accurate as
possible the film has been produced in association with the Australian War
Memorial, Imperial War Museum, New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage
and the Çanakkale Naval Museum.

To capture the story of the campaign and the experience of the soldiers,
Gallipoli tells the story simultaneously from the perspectives of all
sides involved, and sets out to show the human dimension within the general
structure of the battle. The story is told through the personal letters and
diaries of 2 British, 2 Turkish, 3 Australian, and 3 New Zealand soldiers.
The film portrays the historical importance of Gallipoli based on facts and
from the perspectives of these soldiers who are representative of the
thousands of soldiers from both sides. It is the story of ordinary men
forced by history to do extraordinary things. The courage which they faced
hardships, and the sacrifices they made are brought to life through their
own words. It is their common experience and their story.

The war itself is the only enemy in this film.

We cordially invite you to the following press show:
06.09.2005 14.00h and 19.00h

UCI 12 Cinemas, Lee Valley Leisure Complex, Picketts Lock Lane, Edmonton,
London N9 0AS

Gallipoli starts its theatrical run in London on September 16, 2005.

What transpires next is beyond anything Andrew or Adrian would imagine, as their experiences with Lichi lead them thru a series of unpredictable events.

"Mail Order Wife" stars Andrew Gurland ("Frat House"), Eugenia Yuan ("Memoirs of a Geisha") and Adrian Martinez ("The Interpreter"). "Mail Order Wife" is a First Independent Pictures film.

"'Mail Order Wife' is a bold and original film," stated Gary Rubin, founder of First Independent Pictures. "We are thrilled to bring our first theatrical release to DVD through Visual Entertainment."

SYNOPSIS: From the studio that brought you "The Rookie" and "Miracle"
and director Bill Paxton, comes a story of courage, passion
and of the greatest American sports hero you have probably
never heard of ...

An amateur player from a working class family, Francis Ouimet
-- played by Shia LaBeouf ("Holes") -- shocked the golf world
when at the 1913 U.S. Open, flanked by his 10-year-old caddie,
he defeated his idol, the defending British champion Harry
Vardon -- played by Stephen Dillane. An unlikely match-up --
"the ingenue versus the seasoned champ" -- theirs was the
greatest match the sport had ever known.

Caught between a world of hardship and a beckoning life of
privilege, Francis needed to prove his unfailing will and
ability to make it to the tournament. Elias Koteas
("Traffic," "Ararat") plays Francis' tough, hardworking
father. Newcomer Peyton List is Sarah Wallis, the beautiful
young woman, who catches Francis' heart. Josh Flitter is
Eddie Lowery, the pint sized caddie who helps Francis find his
way through the troublesome fairways to victory.
