New film label is Autonomous for After Dark

August 17, 2007 Half of the production funds will come from private-equity funding (mostly from Hong Kong-based real estate financier Zeman) and half from international presales, subsidies and other sources. Autonomous plans to put three films into production in first-quarter 2008, with one set for distribution in the fourth quarter and the second set for release during second-quarter 2009. The new label's output will be a part of Solomon's existing three-year deal signed in July 2006 with Lionsgate Films, which handles DVD, pay TV, other TV, PPV, VOD and, for some titles, theatrical distribution.
