Hi Count, 

Australia may loose its appeal this summer once the intense thriller ROGUE unleashes on unrated DVD August 5^th. From Genius Products and The Weinstein Company comes the latest Dimension Extreme title about an abnormal man-eating crocodile that stalks innocent tourists in the Australian wilderness.  

ROGUE follows a group of tourists on a wildlife cruise through the Outback. When their boat is stranded on a muddy island, a wild and monstrous crocodile begins his hunt. Writer-director Greg McLean (Wolf Creek) returns with a suspenseful and chilling ride through Australia’s waters, set against the glorious backdrop of the rugged Northern Territory.  ROGUE stars a talented cast, including Michael Vartan (“Alias,” Monster-in-Law), Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill, Man on Fire), Sam Worthington (Somersault, Dirty Deeds) and John Jarrat (Wolf Creek). The ROGUE DVD will include a director’s commentary and multiple featurettes.

Hi Count, 

The second teaser trailer and movie stills are now available! Please find the links and embed code directly below for your site. Teaser poster, MTV Awards clip and Promo clip also available below. 

 
On behalf of Summit Entertainment, we are pleased to present Twilight, in theatres December 12^th. 

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school.  When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change.  Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met.  Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul.  Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance.  Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands – and he hasn’t aged since 1918.  Like all vampires, he’s immortal.   But he doesn’t have fangs, and he doesn’t drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice.  To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for – a soul mate.  But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.  But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens’ mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her?

ABOUT TWILIGHT: Based on the current #1 New York Times Bestselling series (30 weeks and counting) with over 5.5 million books in print by Stephenie Meyer, TWILIGHT is a cultural phenomenon, with a dedicated fanbase that eagerly awaits this movie.  There are over 100 fan sites devoted to Twilight, and it has been chosen as the New York Times Editor’s Choice, a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, Amazon’s “Best Book of the Decade…So Far”, Teen People’s “Hot List” Pick, The American Library Association’s “Top Ten Best Book for Young Adults” and “Top Ten Books for Reluctant Readers” and has been translated into 20 languages.   Critically acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke brings to life this modern, visual, and visceral Romeo & Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair – between vampire and mortal.

Hi Count, 

From The Twisted Mind That Launched The Leprechaun Franchise, TRILOQUIST, an all-new horror-comedy arrives on DVD July 1st, from The Weinstein Company and Genius Products.  

Two teenage siblings are determined to carry out their ventriloquist mother’s dying wishes with the help of the dummy itself – no matter what the cost. 

Campy thriller, TRILOQUIST debuts its act on DVD July 1st under the Dimension Extreme label from Genius Products and The Weinstein Company.  From writer-director Mark Jones (Leprechaun, Rumplestiltskin) and starring teen up-and-comers Rocky Marquette (Bondage), Payden LoPachin (House At The End Of The Drive) and Katie Chonacas (Slingshot), TRILOQUIST follows a psychotic brother and sister who hit the road to Las Vegas with their ventriloquist dummy that seems to have a mind of its own.

Synopsis
In a seedy Hollywood motel, a down-and-out ventriloquist overdoses in front of her son and daughter, scarring them for life. Eighteen years later, the son, who has not spoken a word since his mother’s suicide, and daughter, depart on a road trip to Las Vegas. Still haunted by their childhood memories, they are unable to fulfill their mother’s dying wishes to uphold the family bloodline and become great ventriloquists. Entranced by the dummy’s commands, the long journey plunges them further and further into darkness as they begin a murderous rampage across the desert.

Best,
Marisa
