Hero By Night Comic Book Gets TV Treatment

LOS ANGELES, November 17:
IM Global and Platinum Studios are teaming up to develop a live-action TV
series based on the comic book Hero By
Night, created by DJ Coffman.

IM Global will handle the
worldwide distribution for the project, which it will produce under the IM
Global Television banner, run by Gavin Reardon.

Hero By Night tells the story of Jack King, a young landlord who uncovers the lair
of the legendary Hero by Night. King sells the Hero's journal on eBay to make
money, and winds up attracting the attention of the Hero's arch-enemy, who he
must now try to stop from completing diabolical schemes.

Platinum Studios' chairman
and CEO, Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, and IM Global's Stuart Ford and Reardon are
set to executive produce the series along with Rigberg Entertainment Group's
Glenn Rigberg. Platinum Studios' VP of film and TV, Rich Marincic, will
co-produce and former Universal Pictures' senior executive, Randy Greenberg, of
The Greenberg Group, will co-executive produce.

"We are very happy to
be working with Stuart and IM Global; Stuart is one of those rare entertainment
executives who has a keen understanding of the business of entertainment and
what makes for compelling entertainment," said Rosenberg. "Hero By Night is a wonderful young-adult
weekly adventure series."

"Hero By Night provides a wonderful opportunity to make
action-adventure wish-fulfillment weekly television," added Ford.
"Platinum Studios' depth of story and characters is unparalleled and
presents a fantastic opportunity for IM Global and we are pleased to be working
on this project with them."
