Empire Film Group Announces "Blonde & Blonder" Theatrical Release Starring Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards
BEVERLY HILLS, CA--(Marketwire - December 14, 2007) - Empire Film Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EFGU) ("Empire Film") (http://www.empirefilmgroup.com) has selected January
18, 2008 as the theatrical launch date for the new comedy "Blonde &
Blonder" starring Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards. The film will open
as a special theatrical engagement in ten key U.S. markets as part of a
charitable campaign to raise funds for the Pamela Anderson supported group,
PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals).
"Blonde & Blonder" tells the story of two gorgeous-but-disconnected young
ladies who are mistakenly identified as mob killers and pursued by a
menagerie of colorful characters. The film premiered at the Cannes Film
Festival in May, where it was described by a reviewer for Knight Ridder
newspapers as "'Legally Blonde' meets 'Dumb & Dumber,'" a comparison that
met with the approval of director Dean Hamilton.
"It's a very funny, mainstream picture," said Hamilton. "We wanted to
create a PG-13 level comedy that would appeal to men as well as women, and
the response has been superb. This is a terrific picture to use in
launching the theatrical releasing division of Empire Film Group, as well
as the goodwill value of our charitable tie-in with PETA," he concluded.
Key cities targeted for the initial theatrical launch include New York, Los
Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Orlando, Tampa-St.
Petersburg and Las Vegas. First Look Studios (www.FirstLookStudios.com)
will be releasing "Blonde & Blonder" on DVD following the theatrical
release.
