Peace Arch^® Entertainment Executes US Licensing Agreement with Genius Products to Distribute Features “Final Draft” and “The Cradle”

PEACE ARCH RETAINS INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS

TO BOTH RECENTLY COMPLETED FILMS

Toronto – Peace Arch^® Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX:PAE - News) (TSX:PAE.TO - News) announced today that it has licensed two of the company’s feature films - “Final Draft” a thriller starring two-time MTV Movie Award-winning actor James Van Der Beek (“Varsity Blues,” TV’s “Dawson’s Creek”), and the psychological thriller “The Cradle” starring Lukas Haas (“Brick” “Witness”) - to Genius Products, LLC, one of the leading home entertainment distributors in the United States.  The agreement increases to 13 the number of titles that Genius will distribute for Peace Arch in the U.S. home entertainment market.  Genius also acquired all other U.S. distribution rights to the picture, including digital.  Peace Arch retains international distribution rights to both films.

Peace Arch president John Flock said, “During 2006 we dedicated ourselves to producing and acquiring a high volume of top quality, low-cost film and television projects that would be in demand in the U.S. and abroad.  As we bring much of that content to market in 2007, our relationship with Genius Products has been a valuable part of our U.S. distribution strategy.  Genius is one of the best home entertainment distributors in the United States, and we expect our relationship will continue to grow to include many more of our film and television projects.”

“Final Draft” tells the story of a screenwriter (James Van Der Beek) who locks himself in his apartment for 32 days in order to complete a script against a “drop dead” cut off date.  The solitude gradually alters his reality into a living nightmare.  

Van Der Beek won his first MTV Movie Award for Best Breakthrough Male Performance for his work in “Varsity Blues,” for which he also won a Best Breakout Performance Teen Choice Award, starring opposite Amy Smart, Paul Walker and Jon Voight, and his second MTV Movie Award for Best Cameo Performance in “Scary Movie.”  Van Der Beek is well known for his work in the successful, long-running television series “Dawson’s Creek” opposite Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson.  

“Final Draft” was directed by Jonathan Dueck from a script by Darryn Lucie, and was produced by Robert Wilson, Patrick Cameron and Harvey Glazer.  Peace Arch’s Lewin Webb and Kate Harrison are the executive producers.

“The Cradle” stars Lukas Haas in a thriller about a young father who lost his first child -- and now has terrifying visions that his second baby will share the same fate.

Haas is best known for his dramatic roles in the high school noir Sundance favorite “Brick,” his breakthrough role in “Witness” as well as “Mars Attacks!”    

“The Cradle” was directed by Tim Brown from a script by Paul Nelson, and was produced by Robert Wilson, Patrick Cameron and Harvey Glazer, and executive produced by Peace Arch’s Gary Howsam, Kate Harrison and Lewin Webb.

Under an agreement entered into in May 2006, Peace Arch engaged Genius as its U.S. home entertainment distributor for a slate of pictures in the horror, science fiction and action genres. Genius has subsequently picked up U.S. distribution rights for additional Peace Arch titles, including “Animal 2” "Bottom Feeder" and "The Mad."  The first picture in the package, "The Last Sect" starring David Carradine, was released by Genius on DVD on September 12, 2006.
