Seven Arts Pictures PLC (NASDAQ: SAPX) ("Seven Arts") today announced it has finalized plans for the US release of "The Pool Boys" (the "Film"). Cinedigm Entertainment Group (NASDAQ: CIDM) ("Cinedigm") will release the Film theatrically on between 75 to 100 screens in the top fifty markets on September 30, 2011. Entertainment One ("eOne"), which acquired North American home entertainment and digital rights for the Film, will then release "The Pool Boys" on DVD, Blu-ray and digital platforms in December.
"The Pool Boys" is the hilarious new comedy from the makers of "American Pie." Starring Matthew Lillard, Brett Davern, Efren Ramirez, Rachel LeFevre and Tom Arnold, the film chronicles the playful mischief that results when a pool boy and a gardener and some women practicing the world's oldest profession throw a massive party in the empty home of one of their clients.
"We are thrilled to have put together such an exciting team for the release of 'Pool Boys,'" said Peter Hoffman, CEO of Seven Arts. "All of our partners on this release are working together on an innovative release that will really get our film seen by its target audience. We couldn't be more pleased."
"We look forward to using Cinedigm's precision marketing and digital cinema distribution capabilities to bring 'The Pool Boys' directly to targeted audiences across the nation," said Jonathan Dern, President of Cinedigm.
Entertainment One's U.S. President Michael E. Rosenberg said, "eOne is excited to be partnering with Seven Arts on 'Pool Boys,' and are thrilled to bring this uproarious comedy to home viewing audiences."
