Platinum Studios, Inc. (OTCBB: PDOS), an entertainment company that
controls an international library of over 5,000 comic book
characters which it adapts, produces and licenses for all forms of
media, has been highlighted in entertainment trade publication
Daily Variety.
Platinum Studios Chairman & CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg
sent the article to investors and fans yesterday via the corporate
newsletter, stating, "We were excited to hear the perspective of
reporter Marc Graser and his perception of our corporate strategy
in the wake of the release of our blockbuster film 'Cowboys &
Aliens.'"
Graser states in the article, "In an unusual deal -- one that
few creatives other than George Lucas have been able to broker --
Platinum has retained full rights to (the underlying comic book
property) 'Cowboys & Aliens' with the exception of films, which
DreamWorks, Universal, Paramount and Imagine share. U distribs
domestically."
For Platinum Studios, the film "Cowboys & Aliens" marks the
first of many upcoming projects based on the property. The book has
been republished by HarperCollins Publishers and is now on the New
York Times bestseller list; a mobile game and iOS game are
available for purchase; a children's interactive e-book, "Cowboys
& Aliens: The Kids," is available to download as well.
Variety quoted Rosenberg as saying, "For us, it's about the
whole brand and the world that comes along with it. The film is
just one part of the story. We have no limit to the different
worlds and characters we can play with," Rosenberg said of the
elements that appear in a 10,000-page bible penned for the property
in 1997.
In addition to "Cowboys & Aliens," Platinum Studios is
developing "Unique" at Walt Disney Pictures with "Harry Potter"
producer David Heyman, "Vice" with producer Andrew Lazar and Top
Cow Productions, Inc., a feature film project at Sony Pictures
Animation, and "Blood Nation" with producer Alexandra Milchan.
Platinum Studios is also developing "MetaDocs" for TV with Syfy,
FremantleMedia and Landscape Entertainment.
