'Ten' shalt be distributed

August 24, 2007 Promenade Pictures, the production company founded four years ago by former studio head Frank Yablans with a focus on family entertainment, said Thursday that it will enter U.S. theatrical distribution Oct. 26 by releasing the 3-D CGI-animated feature "The Ten Commandments." The film is the first in a 12-picture series billed as "Epic Stories From the Bible," which Promenade is producing with New Zealand-based Huhu Studios and Singapore-based iVL Animation as partners. Promenade president and COO Cindy Bond said the company will distribute four to six films a year, a mix of wide releases as well as niche platform titles.
