Peace Arch in New Home-Entertainment Deal

TORONTO, June 10: Peace
Arch Home Entertainment has acquired the exclusive North American DVD
distribution rights to four new titles: the action/comedy Ninja Cheerleaders, the thriller Naked Fear and the action films Fighting With Anger and Lord of the Street.

Lord of the Street stars recording artist DMX (The Fast and The
Furious and Gone in 60 Seconds) and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Kris
Kristofferson (Blade trilogy
and A Star Is Born). The film
is centered on a brutal Mexican drug lord who busts out of jail to retrieve the
$15 million that his girlfriend is hiding and tries to track her
down—staying one step ahead of the cops. Meanwhile, the martial arts
action thriller Fighting With Anger
is headlined by music icon Willie
Nelson, who plays the aging mentor to Ray (Kelli Fleming), a young assassin
looking for answers about her past.

The action/comedy Ninja
Cheerleaders, starring Trishelle
Cannatella (Surreal Life),
George Takei (Star Trek films)
and Michael Pare (The Virgin Suicides and Streets of Fire),
follows three cheerleaders who are ‘straight A’ students by day and become
fighting warriors at night.

The thriller Naked Fear, starring Danielle DeLuca, tells the story of a
small town where a number of exotic dancers have been mysteriously
disappearing.

Berry Meyerowitz, the
president of Peace Arch Home Entertainment, said: “We are continuing to
identify and acquire quality films for our fast-growing North American DVD
sector. Each of these titles will appeal to a demographic that retailers can
target in their upcoming promotional campaigns.”
