Image Ent. Inc., an independent licensee, producer and distributor of home entertainment has acquired home video and digital download rights to 14 movies originally produced for the SCI FI Channel’s Saturday night movie franchise. Under the multi-year agreement with NBC Universal Television Distribution, Image will handle such CG-intensive pics as Manticore, Locusts: The 8th Plague, Webs, Bugs, Snakehead Terror and Terminal Invasion, which stars cult-favorite Bruce Campbell of Evil Dead fame.
The SCI FI Channel is one of the biggest commissioners of original movies in the United States. Every Saturday night, the network debuts a new genre B-movie which usually involves some sort of rampaging computer-generated monster. Filling a void left by the demise of the drive-in theater, the weekly programming event has been dubbed ‘SCI FI Saturday: The Most Dangerous Night of Television.’
Image plans to add extra features to a number of the films for their North American DVD releases. Other titles incuded in the agreement are Interceptor Force 2, Darklight, Crimson Force, Alien Siege, Threshold, Encrypt, Deathlands and Do or Die.
