MediaConnection Wrap Up - Week ending April 16, 2010
Seagate Offers FreeAgent Go Hard Drives Pre-Loaded with Paramount
Pictures' Feature Films
Seagate and Paramount Pictures announced their agreement to pre-load a
selection of hard drives with Paramount movies. Beginning immediately,
United States' customers will be able to activate Paramount
Pictures' popular film, Star Trek (2009), for no additional fee. This
collaboration between two industry leaders underscores a new era in
digital movie collecting by enabling people to build, store and enjoy
their personal libraries of favorite films in their preferred
medium—whether on the computer or the TV—at home and on the go.
Marvel Drops Diamond For Book Distribtion
Marvel announced that, effective September 1, 2010, Marvel books will be
sold and distributed into the worldwide book market by the Hachette Book
Group.
"Teaming with Hachette allows us to even more aggressively grow our
presence in the book market, exposing new readers to Marvel's great
library of characters and stories. With Hachette's overwhelming success
in the book market, we can't imagine a better partner as Marvel looks to
expand its presence in the book market" said David Gabriel, Marvel
Senior Vice President of Sales & Circulation.
Syfy and RHI Entertainment Co-Produce The Other Side and Road Kill
RHI Entertainment and Syfy announced they will co-produce two movies
which will air on Syfy in 2011. The Other Side and Roadkill will both
begin production on location in Ireland this summer. The Other Side,
written by Douglas G. Davis (Carny), is the story of a groundbreaking
device designed to glimpse alternate universes. But when the machine
malfunctions on its first demonstration and transports a group of
observers into a nightmarish new dimension of bizarre alien terrors, the
travelers must use ingenuity and courage to survive. But even if they
stay alive, without a working transport, the group may never make it
home. In Roadkill, written by Rick Suvalle (Astroboy), a group of
friends take a scenic RV road trip to their high-school reunion. Their
cross-country adventure takes a decidedly unexpected turn when an
ancient Gypsy curse takes wing by way of a giant flesh-eating bird of
prey.
