Zone Mobile Creates Horror Series

LONDON, October 16: Zonemedia's Zone Mobile has entered into
an agreement with the production company Pure Grass to create the mobile horror
series When Evil Calls.

The mobile show will launch on British mobile network O2 on
October 23. It will also be available on general release through the Zone
Horror WAP site and all major U.K. mobile operators.

The 20×2-minute episodes focus on the students at Willburn
Hall who find a mysterious text message that grants them their wildest
desires—with harrowing consequences.

Tanya Gugenheim, the chief business development and new
media officer at Zonemedia, noted, "This is the first time an episodic
drama with a great cast and high production values has been created to be used
across myriad platforms and we are delighted with the results. We believe there
is so much opportunity to exploit this type of programming across all markets
and platforms that we expect this to be the first of many series that we
co-develop for the growing global market."
