LOS ANGELES, CA, Aug 16 (Marketwire) --
California Pictures has inked a more expanded deal with M2's Adam Martin
and Eben Matthews and their producing partner, Geller Entertainment
Group's D. Matt Geller and Adam Lerner to exploit the widely-popular
graphic novel property, Boondock Saints. The plan is to produce a series
of motion comics for multiple platforms. Jason Leibovitch, Vice President
of California Pictures, made today's announcement.

"Boondock Saints is a multi-million dollar franchise that we're excited
to expand upon with our producing partners," commented Steven Istock,
President of California Pictures. "The property has a huge fan base and
lends itself well to various platforms of release worldwide. We're
looking forward to working with M2 and Geller Entertainment Group to
offer an extension of the property to fans across the globe."

One of the biggest cult hits ever -- The Boondock Saints was filmed in
1999 and completed in 2000. Blacklisted from theaters due to a backlash
against violent films after the Columbine Incident, the film never
received a proper theatrical release. Instead, the film found its fan
base on DVD spawning an international sensation that continues to grow.

"In Nomine Patris," a six-part comic book series, was released in May
2010. The series is written by Franchise Creator/Writer/Director, Troy
Duffy and Comic Scribe, J.B. Love, and focuses on the untold story of
Noah MacManus -- 'The Original Saint' -- the Brothers' father, known as
Il Duce. The Brothers MacManus are also on tap, in Boston and Ireland,
doing what they do best in a series of brand new adventures. The series
answers fans' long-standing questions about how the 'Saints' came to be
by revealing the origins behind the 'Saints' bloodline of vengeance.

"Like so many other fans I discovered 'The Saints' on DVD through a
friend," commented M2's Eben Matthews. "The moment I saw it, I knew it
should be a comic series. But the end game with this story was always to
do what we do best and make it into a motion comic series. We knew that's
where this new chapter of the Boondock mythos would really come to life."

M2's Adam Martin added, "The films already have a tremendous following
and the comics were quite successful as well. We believe that telling
this story, in this way, is the perfect complement to the films and will
deliver something fresh and dynamic that will absolutely delight the fans
and add to the mythology of the franchise."
