WARNER BROS. PICTURES UNVEILS NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN FOOTAGE OF “THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY” SHOWCASING STUNNING HIGH-FRAME-RATE RESULTS

Burbank, CA (April 24, 2012) – Warner Bros. Pictures screened approximately 10 minutes of never-before-seen footage from New Line Cinema and MGM’s upcoming epic “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” which showcased the filmmaking innovation of 48 frames-per-second (fps), doubling the typical frame rate of 24 fps. The footage was part of the studio’s presentation at CinemaCon, the official convention of the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO).

The film, slated for worldwide release beginning December 14, 2012, is the first major motion picture to be made using this state-of-the art high-frame-rate technology.

The footage was introduced via a taped greeting from director Peter Jackson, who gave a bit of history as to how 24 fps became the industry standard and why today’s technology allows for higher frame rates. He also explained that 48 fps is actually closer to the way the human eye views the world. Jackson offered, “As a filmmaker, I always want to create a strong sense of reality, to allow the audience to lose themselves in whatever the cinematic story is that I’m presenting. Shooting and projecting at 48 fps gives you the illusion that a hole has been cut in the wall of the cinema, and you’re watching the story unfold with a heightened sense of reality. It’s terrific for 3D; I’ve looked at the 48 fps dailies for ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ in 3D for over a year now, and with the reduction in strobing and flicker, it is a much more gentle experience on your eyes. 48 fps is not just limited to 3D. A film shot in 48 fps looks fantastic when projected in 2D, and converts well to 24 fps as well.”

Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. Pictures President, Domestic Distribution, stated, “24 fps has been the standard in our industry for the last 80 years, so this is an exciting breakthrough. It’s no surprise that Peter Jackson, with his commitment to innovation, is the first director to utilize 48 fps on a grand scale. It’s equally gratifying to me to see the exhibition community embrace this advancement.”

Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, Warner Bros. Pictures President, International Distribution, added, “We’re thrilled to be arm-in-arm with Peter Jackson and the exhibition community in exploring the possibilities of high-frame-rate filmmaking. The powerful combination of enduring storytelling and spectacular visuals will offer an exciting new movie-going experience to audiences around the world.”

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first of two films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.

Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf the Grey and Martin Freeman stars in the central role of Bilbo Baggins. The ensemble cast also includes (in alphabetical order) Richard Armitage, John Bell, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Jed Brophy, Adam Brown, John Callen, Luke Evans, Stephen Fry, Ryan Gage, Mark Hadlow, Ian Holm, Peter Hambleton, Barry Humphries, Stephen Hunter, William Kircher, Evangeline Lilly, Sylvester McCoy, Bret McKenzie, Graham McTavish, Mike Mizrahi, James Nesbitt, Dean O’Gorman, Christopher Lee, Lee Pace, Mikael Persbrandt, Andy Serkis, Conan Stevens, Ken Stott, Jeffrey Thomas, Aidan Turner, Hugo Weaving and Elijah Wood.

“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” is directed by Peter Jackson from a screenplay by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Guillermo del Toro and Jackson. Jackson is also producing the film, together with Fran Walsh and Carolynne Cunningham. The executive producers are Alan Horn, Ken Kamins, Toby Emmerich and Zane Weiner, with Boyens serving as co-producer.

“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” is a production of New Line Cinema and MGM, with New Line managing production. Warner Bros Pictures is handling worldwide theatrical distribution, with select international territories, as well as all international television licensing being handled by MGM. “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” will be released on December 14, 2012, and the second film, “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” opens on December 13, 2013. Both films will be released in 3D and 2D in select theatres and IMAX. www.thehobbit.com

CELEBRATE THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED STORIES OF INSPIRATION AND REDEMPTION

An All New Blu-ray Perfectly Timed For Father’s Day Coming On June 5, 2012

Los Angeles, CA (March 13, 2012) – From director David Anspaugh, one of the most legendary sports movies of all time is being released in an all new Blu-ray from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Based on the true story of the Milan High School basketball team, HOOSIERS boasts an all-star cast that includes Gene Hackman, Barbara Hershey, and Academy Award® nominee Dennis Hopper. The film was recently hailed as the #1 sports movie of all time by The Los Angeles Times.

Norman Dale (Gene Hackman) is a volatile basketball coach with a dark past who arrives in a small, rural Indiana town to attempt to lead the high school team to victory. This group of underdogs needs all the help they can get, and no one would have ever suspected that it would come from the unlikely duo of Dale and his newly hired assistant coach, the town\'s recovering alcoholic, Shooter (Dennis Hopper). Under Dale and Shooter\'s guidance, the Hickory team surprises their town - and themselves - by not only becoming an unstoppable team during the basketball season, but also taking home the 1952 State Championship.

Hoosiers has received abundant accolades, and can be found on the top film lists of over 100 movie critics. It has been highly ranked on movie lists created by AFI, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated, and was also chosen by the Library of Congress to be preserved in the United States National Film Registry for being \"culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant\".

HOOSIERS Blu-ray Features:
     •   Hoosier History: The Truth Behind the Legend
     •   Deleted Scenes
     •    Original 1954 Indiana High School Championship
     •   Commentary by Director David Anspaugh

MGM BRINGS FIRST SCRIPTED DRAMA SERIES VIKINGS TO HISTORY®

MGM’S EPIC SERIES RECEIVES FULL SEASON COMMITMENT FROM NETWORK

New York (March 13, 2012) – Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc. (MGM) announced today that it has received an order from HISTORY on its first scripted drama series called VIKINGS. MGM brought the epic drama to the network, which gave it a full season commitment. The series, to be filmed in Ireland and throughout picturesque locations in Northern Europe, will premiere on HISTORY in 2013. Shaw Media will be the broadcast partner in Canada, airing the show on HISTORY Television in Canada. The announcement was made by Roma Khanna, President, Television Group and Digital, MGM.

“There is no better way to introduce the world to the new MGM Television Studios than with a powerful and epic drama like VIKINGS,” said Ms. Khanna. “We are thrilled to be able to bring HISTORY their first scripted series. Lead by Michael Hirst, this team of award-winning story-tellers will bring to life the mythical warriors, explorers and everyday people that will enrapture audiences. We look forward to using MGM’s global reach to introduce VIKINGS to viewers around the world.”

Created and written by Michael Hirst – one of the premier historical story-tellers in the industry (Academy-Award winning film Elizabeth; and the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated series The Tudors), Michael serves as Executive Producer along with Morgan O’Sullivan of World 2000 (The Count of Monte Cristo; The Tudors), John Weber of Take 5 Productions (The Tudors; The Borgias), Sherry Marsh and Alan Gasmer.

\"Personally, I have had a long interest in Viking culture, in pagan mythology and the brilliant and mysterious stories of gods, giants and human beings which make up the Norse sagas,\" said Michael Hirst. \"There is something so vital and exciting in the fact that most contemporary cultures were shaped and affected by men and women who emerged from the lonely vastness of Scandinavia in the dark ages of the 8th Century and navigated vast oceans and rivers in boats of magnificent craftsmanship to conquer and to colonize. In a way, we are all Vikings now. In popular culture, in the cinema, yesterday and today, Viking culture and Viking gods are used to create lethal drama. But it\'s a cheap and cartoonish representation; a lazy nod in the direction of something truly deep and significant. How much better to dramatize what really happened! Working with MGM, HISTORY and the show producers I want to get closer to the truth. Because the truth is more unbelievable than anything you could imagine.\"

“This is an amazing crossroads for HISTORY embarking on our first scripted series,” said Nancy Dubuc, President & General Manager, HISTORY. “People think they know about the Vikings – we see references to them all the time in our popular culture from TV commercials to football teams – but the reality is so much more fascinating and complex, more vivid, visceral and powerful than popular legend. We will explore the mysteries of the Vikings - the adventures they took and the people who led them. And we will start to understand a past that is very much part of our collective DNA today.”

VIKINGS is an international Irish/Canadian co-production being co-produced by World 2000 and Take 5 Productions. This is the first big series announcement under the new MGM, which will have worldwide distribution rights outside of Ireland and Canada. AETV has licensed VIKINGS to debut on HISTORY, slated for the summer of 2013.

The series will chronicle the adventures of Ragnar Lothbrok, an actual historical figure, and his family as they live among the savage realities of the Viking culture.

MGM cements int’l network with Lusomundo, Selim Ramia deals

Jeremy Kay, Screendaily (March 8, 2012) – Hot on the heels of clearing debt and securing a $500m revolving credit facility, the revitalised studio’s co-chairmen and CEOs Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum say they have effectively sealed their global distribution network with two fresh multi-year agreements.

Zon Lusomundo will release MGM films in Portugal while Gulf Film co-founder Selim Ramia will handle the Middle East. Both deals cover theatrical and home video rights to all MGM-originated product such as the new James Bond film Skyfall, set for release in the US though Sony on Nov 9, and include the two Hobbit films, the first of which is lined up for domestic release through Warner Bros in December.

The agreements do not cover summer release G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Hansel And Gretel: Witch Hunters scheduled at time of writing for January 2013, both of which were co-financed and co-developed with worldwide distributor Paramount. However MGM has retained international TV rights to the pair.

“We have pretty much rounded out our distribution network around the globe,” Barber told Screendaily. “The vision was to try to align ourselves with the dominant indigenous distributors who had vertical integration, so if we could get our films placed on the theatrical platform, we believe ancillary would [fall into place.]”

The development follows the recently announced partnerships with Svensk for Scandinavia and Forum for Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Israel and in some cases the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Territories not covered by the output deals will be handled in most cases by the domestic partner’s international pipeline. All MGM-originated product is subject to the first-look deal with Sony, who will release Skyfall and among others the Robocop remake and action-comedy 21 Jump Street set to open on Mar 16. Warner Bros is handling the bulk of worldwide distribution on The Hobbit films.

When MGM co-finances and co-develops projects with another studio, that studio will get the opportunity to handle global distribution.

Fox International handles worldwide home entertainment for MGM and Barber and Birnbaum will cut pay-TV and digital distribution deals on a country-by-country basis.

MGM’s development slate includes Punk Farm, Carrie, Poltergiest and The Machine.

Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are producers.

“SKYFALL will be the cool, must-see event release of the fall, and releasing the film in IMAX only reinforces that,” said Rory Bruer, President, Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures Worldwide Marketing and Distribution.

“It is fitting that with SKYFALL marking the 50th Anniversary of the James Bond franchise, we celebrate in epic style and what could be more larger-than-life than IMAX joining the festivities,” said Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officers of MGM.

“It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of this legendary franchise, whose iconic characters and electrifying action will only be amplified in the IMAX format,” said Greg Foster, Chairman and President, IMAX Filmed Entertainment. “We are excited to rejoin forces with our friends at Sony Pictures Entertainment and MGM and so pleased to work with Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli, and Sam Mendes to bring their vision to IMAX and Bond fans around the world.”

METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER INC. ANNOUNCES NEW $500 MILLION REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

Led by JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank

LOS ANGELES, CA (February 6, 2012) – Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. (MGM) has closed a new $500 million revolving credit facility it was announced today by Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, Co-Chairman and Chief Executive Officers of MGM. The financing was provided by a group of banks led by JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank. The syndicate also includes Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Royal Bank of Canada, SunTrust Bank, Wells Fargo, CIT Bank, Union Bank, City National Bank and OneWest Bank.

The credit facility will allow the studio to retire their previous debt while they continue to grow their film and television business, expanding and developing current projects including the films under their partnership with Sony Pictures such as the upcoming “21 Jump Street,” and the latest Bond installment “Skyfall,” as well as the upcoming highly anticipated “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” via their partnership with Warner Brothers and “GI Joe: Retaliation” with Paramount. The studio has several other films and television programs in various stages of production and development at this time including films “Robocop,” “Carrie,” “Poltergeist,” and “Punk Farm” and television including “Vikings” and the current “Teen Wolf.”

“A year ago MGM was in bankruptcy and to receive this oversubscribed facility just one year later is proof positive that through careful and efficient business decisions, we have earned the faith of the financial community,” said Barber and Birnbaum. “The operating plan we are employing is working and we are extremely grateful for the vote of confidence from the banks and are increasingly encouraged about the future of our business.”

“The success of this financing further validates investor confidence in the management team and their ability to execute on its business strategy. Market demand was significantly greater than the $500MM issuance, which is a clear indication that the bank market continues to strengthen for the entertainment sector,” said John Miller, Vice Chairman, JPMorgan Chase.

“Co-leadership in this highly attractive financing is Deutsche Bank’s endorsement and continuing support of an exceptionally strong management team led by two true industry experts, Gary and Roger, and the supportive leadership of an exceptional Board. The over-performance in the past year allowed for this improved financing,” said Brian Mulligan, Vice Chairman, Deutsche Bank.

MGM’s restructuring was made effective in December 2010. As part of its exit financing, arranged by JPMorgan Chase, the studio raised $500 million to fund operations, including production of a new slate of films and television series.

“THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO”

TO BE RELEASED DECEMBER 20 AT 7 P.M. NATIONWIDE

Culver City, CA (December 13, 2011) – Moviegoers will get a jump on one of the most highly-anticipated films of the season as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens one day early beginning on December 20 at 7 p.m. nationwide, it was announced today by Jeff Blake, chairman, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures.

Commenting on the announcement, Blake said, “This is one of the busiest times of the year for moviegoing and we can\'t wait to share this outstanding thriller with audiences all over the world. We feel that by opening for night-time shows on December 20th, fans of the book will be given the perfect opportunity to get a jump start on the release of an exceptional film.”

In The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Academy Award®-nominated director David Fincher (The Social Network) uncoils the world of Stieg Larsson’s global blockbuster thriller on the screen. Within the story’s labyrinth lie murder, corruption, family secrets and the inner demons of the two unexpected partners chasing the truth of a 40-year-old mystery. Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) is a financial reporter determined to restore his honor after being convicted of libel. Engaged by one of Sweden’s wealthiest industrialists, Henrik Vanger (Academy Award® nominee Christopher Plummer), to get to the bottom of the long-ago disappearance of his beloved niece, Harriet – murdered, Vanger believes, by a member of his large family – the journalist heads to a remote island on the frozen Swedish coast, unaware of what awaits him. At the same time, Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara), an unusual but ingenious investigator with Milton Security, is hired to do a background check on Blomkvist, a job that ultimately leads to her joining Mikael in his investigation of who killed Harriet Vanger. Though Lisbeth shields herself from a world that has repeatedly betrayed her, her hacking skills and single-minded focus become invaluable. While Mikael goes face-to-face with the tight-lipped Vangers, Lisbeth plies the wired shadows. They begin to trace a chain of homicides from the past into the present, forging a fragile strand of trust even as they are pulled into the most savage currents of modern crime. The screenplay is by Steven Zaillian, based on the book by Stieg Larsson originally published by Norstedts. The producers are Scott Rudin, Ole Søndberg, Søren Stærmose, and Ceán Chaffin. The film is presented by Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures.

\"In addition to working together on Bond, this deal expands our relationship with MGM as we explore co-financing opportunities on other high-profile projects,\" Lynton said. \"Gary and Roger are incredibly thoughtful and experienced leaders who are outstanding creative executives and respected moviemakers. While we are excited to be back in the Bond business, we also look forward to future collaborations and I am confident that this agreement will be long-term, lucrative, and beneficial to both studios.\"

\"After successfully working on the re-launch of the James Bond franchise with Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, we could not be more proud or privileged to continue our association with Barbara Broccoli, Michael G. Wilson, Daniel Craig, and the talented teams at EON and MGM,\" said Pascal.

When Sony released Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, the films had record-high grosses for the Bond franchise, with Casino Royale taking in $599 million in worldwide ticket sales and Quantum of Solace generating $577 million.

Said Shapiro, \"In this era of constant change, it\'s sometimes nice to spend time with old friends...friends like Rob Petry, Ralph Kramden, Lucy Ricardo, Perry Mason, the whole Brady Bunch, Mary Richards, Hawkeye, Maxwell Smart and Sam Malone, who, as many of us know, works in a place where everybody knows your name. It\'s comforting. And in the more than five years we have broadcast Me-TV locally in Chicago, viewers from all demographics have responded to Me-TV in that kind of way: as a place that\'s familiar, where old friends meet. We are proud to bring Me-TV to the country, and thank our affiliates for their confidence in Me-TV and faith in their old friends.\"

\"We are grateful to the FCC for their creation and advocacy of digital broadcasting,\" said Bryan. \"Our affiliates understand the value of their digital spectrum and with Me-TV offer a great new programming service to their millions of over-the-air television viewers.\"

\"It is gratifying that the marketplace has recognized Me-TV as the clear choice for classic television programming,\" said Neal Sabin, Executive Vice President of Weigel Broadcasting Co. and who is directly responsible for Me-TV. \"Stations, viewers and advertisers are finding Me-TV to be the destination for the best collection of iconic and timeless TV classics. We are passionate about delivering a quality brand to our affiliates that is consistently classic, comfortable and compelling.\"

\"It is a privilege to announce the partnership for Me-TV with these excellent broadcasters as they join Weigel Broadcasting Co. in delivering \'Memorable Entertainment\' to viewers through their stations across the country. To achieve over 45% clearance in less than three months with a new 24/7 broadcast network, created by an independent broadcaster, is extraordinary,\" said Jackie Comeau, Sr. Vice President Digital Channels & Syndication, MGM.

With the creation of Me-TV, Weigel Broadcasting Co. and MGM continue its leadership in providing quality programming for the broadcast digital spectrum.
