  Encore Original Production 'Midnight Movies' Gets Midnight Premiere at 58th Annual Cannes Film Festival

     First Encore Original Production to Premiere at Prestigious Festival

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Encore Original Productions'
"Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream" has been chosen to
premiere at a midnight screening at the 58th Annual Cannes Film Festival (date
TBD).  This is the first time an original production from Starz Entertainment
Group has been selected to premiere at this prestigious film festival.
    "Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream" will be shown in the
"out of competition" category generally geared for films that do not fit into
any other section of Cannes.  They are typically special events or films that
the Festival feels deserve the honor of screening at Cannes.
    "Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream" focuses on the
phenomenon of 1970's cult films, and the major continuing influence they have
had on pop culture and modern society.  The special, based on the book of the
same name by noted film scholar and documentary filmmaker Stuart Samuels (who
produces and directs), is set to air on Encore August 5th at midnight.
Appearing in the documentary are directors John Waters ("Pink Flamingos"),
David Lynch ("Eraserhead"), George Romero ("Night of the Living Dead"), A.
Jodorowsky ("El Topo"), Perry Henzell ("The Harder They Come"), Richard
O'Brien (creator and star of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"), noted author
and film critic Roger Ebert, and Rocky Horror producer Lou Adler, among
others.
