Peace Arch Bags Canadian Distribution Rights on Four Insight Films

TORONTO, October 17: Peace Arch Entertainment Group has
inked an exclusive multi-picture deal with Insight Film Studios to distribute
four feature films in Canada: When a Man Falls In The Forest, Operation
Espionage, Higher Education and
Numb.

The comedy Numb stars
Golden Globe Award-nominee Matthew Perry as Hudson Milbank, a depressed
screenwriter who begins to think that everything around him is unreal. After
turning to the Golf Channel to cope, things start to change for the better when
he meets someone who makes his race to recovery imperative. Numb is slated for a North American theatrical release in
the winter of 2008.

When a Man Falls in the Forest features Academy Award-nominee Sharon Stone, Academy Award-winner
Timothy Hutton and Spider-man’s
Dylan Baker as three dysfunctional people who have nothing to look forward to.
Their quest for a purpose in life is never realized, as their everyday
experiences are too insignificant. The film will be released on DVD in Canada
on January 8, 2008.

Currently in pre-production, Operation Espionage features Wesley Snipes reprising his role from 2000’s
The Art of War. It is currently
set for release on DVD in the summer of 2008.

Higher Education is
also still in pre-production, and stars martial-arts master Steven Seagal. The
film will be released in summer 2008.

“We are delighted with the acquisition of these four films
from Insight Film Studios,” said Berry Meyerowitz, the president of Peace Arch
Home Entertainment. “Each is a star vehicle with great appeal to their
respective fan followings and we are confident they will be well received.”
