Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisition Group Acquires From Peace Arch Entertainment

All U.S. Rights to Star-Studded Dramatic Feature “Winged Creatures”

Drama Stars Kate Beckinsale, Dakota Fanning, Guy Pearce and Forest Whitaker, with Jennifer Hudson and Jackie Earle Haley

Los Angeles-- Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX:PAE - News) (TSX:PAE.TO - News), an innovative film and television entertainment company, and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group announced today that Sony has acquired U.S. distribution rights in all media to the feature film “Winged Creatures” from Peace Arch.

“Winged Creatures” stars six of today’s most celebrated actors, 2007 Academy Award®-winner Forest Whitaker (“The Last King of Scotland” “Platoon”), 2007 Academy Award®-winner Jennifer Hudson (“Dreamgirls”) and 2007 Academy Award®-nominee Jackie Earle Haley (“Little Children“ “Bad News Bears“) star in the ensemble drama alongside Screen Actors Guild Award-nominee Guy Pearce (“Memento,” “LA Confidential”), Screen Actors Guild Award-nominee Kate Beckinsale (“The Aviator,” “Pearl Harbor”), and Screen Actors Guild Award-nominee Dakota Fanning (“War of The Worlds,” “I Am Sam”).

The film is directed by Australian Rowan Woods (“Little Fish” “The Boys”), from a screenplay by Roy Freirich. Robert Salerno (“21 Grams,” “Chapter 27,” “Delirious“) is producing the film, which recently completed principal photography in Los Angeles.

The deal was negotiated by Peace Arch President John Flock and Lara Thompson, SVP of Acquisitions and Production for Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group and Scott Shooman, Executive Director of Acquisitions and Production for SPWAG.

Peace Arch Entertainment Group president John Flock said, “’Winged Creatures’ is an extraordinarily moving work that exemplifies the type of high-quality independent feature that Peace Arch is now supplying. Sony has a successful track record with character-driven dramatic features, and they are an ideal distribution partner for us in features as well as international television, proven by their winning campaign on our series “The Tudors.”

In “Winged Creatures,” though commonly linked by a life-changing tragedy, the survivors of a senseless multiple murder are each left to divine their own path to understanding their personal mortality and their connection to society.

The supporting cast includes Embeth Davidtz (“Schindler’s List,” “Army of Darkness,” “Junebug”), Jeanne Tripplehorn (“Basic Instinct,” “The Firm,” “Sliding Doors”), Josh Hutcherson (“Bridge To Terabithia,” “Polar Express,” “American Splendor”), Robin Weigert (“The Good German,” “Deadwood,” “Angels In America”), and Troy Garity (“Soldier’s Girl,” “Bandit,” “Barbershop”)

In addition to Peace Arch Entertainment’s expanding library of motion pictures and long-form television programming, the company’s current line-up of feature films includes the romantic comedy “The Deal” starring William H. Macy, Meg Ryan, LL Cool J and Elliott Gould, now in post-production, the romantic comedy "Watching The Detectives" starring Cillian Murphy and Lucy Liu which recently world premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and screening at Cannes, two of the favorites at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival: the drama "Chapter 27" starring Jared Leto and Lindsay Lohan, also screening at Cannes, and "Delirious," a comedy starring Steve Buscemi, Michael Pitt, Alison Lohman, Gina Gershon and Elvis Costello.

Peace Arch also co-produced and is the worldwide distributor of the ten-hour event television series "The Tudors" starring Golden Globe Award-winning Jonathan Rhys Meyers ("Match Point"), Henry Czerny ("Mission Impossible") and Golden Globe Award-nominated Sam Neill ("Jurassic Park"), which was recently renewed for a second season following record-setting ratings for Showtime Networks in the United States.
