Image Takes On New Romantic Comedy

CHATSWORTH, November 11:
Image Entertainment has acquired all U.S. rights for the film Management, which stars Jennifer
Aniston, Steve Zahn and Woody Harrelson, from Sidney Kimmel Entertainment.

Image will handle all
theatrical, home video, digital, television and pay-per-view rights for the
U.S., and plans to release the film theatrically in major markets across the
country in spring 2009. The romantic comedy is about a young woman (Aniston)
whose chance encounter turns into an unexpected relationship
with a young man (Zahn) managing the roadside motel she stays in.

"Image's acquisition
of Management is a huge step forward
in our efforts to offer filmmakers and agents alike full service feature film
distribution," said Bill Bromiley, the chief acquisition officer of Image
Entertainment. "The star power of the film coupled with the romantic yet
comedic story will surely catch the audience's attention."

"We've made a
substantial commitment to bring this film to the big screen and, as we look to
2009, know that this will be but one of an increasing number of cast-driven
films we will acquire that has big box office appeal," added David
Borshell, the president of Image Entertainment.
