FILM PRODUCTION COMPANIES

NEW LINE CINEMA

In 1967 Bob Shaye created new line cinema at the age of 27.It was originally created to promote foreign and art films on college campuses. In 1974 Shaye acquired the rights to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and re-released the movie. In 1976 New line produced its first full length feature Stunts, which is a Thriller about murders in Hollywood. It is particularly these facts that allow me to consider New line as a production company as they have had history with thrillers and have been around for a long time. They are also experienced in successfully producing foreign movies and other Genre’s such as Urban Comedy which we can use and incorporate into our film production.

LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT

Lions gate is building a portfolio with channels such as FEARnet which is described as the horror channel. Fearnetis a cable channel, website and Video on Demand television service owned by Horror Entertainment. Lions gate produces movies such as:the last exorcism and saw 3D. During the past 10 years, Lionsgate has grown its revenues eightfold, from $180 million to nearly $1.6 billion.
I would consider Lionsgate entertainment because of its association with FEARnet and its wide knowledge on producing horror/thriller films as horror/thriller is the Genre we are going to do. I would also consider Lionsgate because of its success in producing horror/thriller films and its promising statistics and improvements over the last decade.

PARAMOUNT

I have chosen this as one of my choices because of its popularity and successful productions. This company is a global producer of filmed entertainment. Paramount consists of many film labels which includes, Paramount Pictures, MTV Films which is a leading youth brand. Nickelodeon Movies which is specified to family ; and specialty film labels, Paramount Vantage and Paramount Classics. This production company has had great success in creating world known movies such as Forrest Gump and Titanic. This also why I consider this as one of my production companies



For my movie,I would prefer to use Lions gate because of its new association with FEARnet.
