Samuel Goldwyn Films and EPIX have entered into an exclusive output agreement in which up to 20 of Goldwyn's films slated for theatrical release in 2010 and 2011 will begin playing across all EPIX platforms, including its linear channel, subscription on demand and epixhd.com services in 2010. The announcement was made today by Mark Greenberg, president and CEO, EPIX, and Meyer Gottlieb, president and COO of Samuel Goldwyn Films.

"We're very pleased to be working with Samuel Goldwyn Films. Goldwyn is among the most respected independent film companies in Hollywood and around the world today," said Greenberg. "This new exclusive output agreement with Goldwyn will further bolster EPIX's incredible line-up of films from its studio partners at Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM, adding even more depth to what is already one of the strongest film libraries of any premium movie service on television. Movies are what consumers want to watch on television, on demand, on their computers and on their mobile devices. EPIX is the only service available today which will be able to meet that consumer demand - anytime, anywhere and on any platform."

"EPIX is developing a brand and an approach that is transforming the way films are viewed by consumers," said Gottlieb. "We chose EPIX because we want to be part of this new approach to deliver our films to consumers in the way they want to see them. This agreement allows Goldwyn to have its films showcased on what will become a unique and terrific premiere pay television service."

Among the films Goldwyn has released or is going to release in 2009 are BROTHERS AT WAR, an intimate portrait of an American family during a turbulent time, AMERICAN VIOLET, starring Academy Award® nominee and Emmy Award® winner Alfre Woodard and Emmy Award® winner Charles Dutton, THE MERRY GENTLEMAN, which marked Michael Keaton's feature film directorial debut, MANAGEMENT, a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston, Steve Zahn and Woody Harrelson that premiered at the 2008 Toronto Film Festival, COLD SOULS, a strikingly original comedy starring Paul Giamatti that premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, FREE STYLE, starring HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL's Corbin Bleu, and (UNTITLED), a satirical look at the contemporary art world starring Adam Goldberg and Marley Shelton.
