“On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter”

When On Any Sunday premiered in 1971, it wasn’t just any movie. Directed by Bruce Brown – who also helmed surfing classic The Endless Summer – this insider look at motorcycle racing reached a wide audience that was fascinated by the heartfelt stories of real-life riders, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature. Four decades later, On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter shows that the passion for riding motorcycles is as strong as ever. Bruce’s son, acclaimed filmmaker Dana Brown, directs this modern take on the original, capturing what it means to ride in the United States and globally. Shot in 4K Ultra HD, the action and emotion are breathtaking: phenomenal athletes, revolutionary innovators, Hollywood stars and even visionaries who use moto to save lives. On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter journeys deeper into the humanity and excitement of motorcycle culture across disciplines – the passion for the race, the love of family and friends, and the thrill of the ride.

EXCLUSIVE: 'ON ANY SUNDAY: THE NEXT CHAPTER' POSTER DEBUT

JUNE 24TH 2014, 9:32 AM

Long before live sports coverage and countless reality shows saturated every corner of the television market, Bruce Brown's pioneering motorcycle racing documentary On Any Sunday blazed a trail across movie screens back in 1971. Brown, who had made his name with the equally stunning surfing doc The Endless Summer, captured a wonderful variety of motorcycle racers and fans, including actor Steve McQueen, competing fiercely (and treated like every other rider) at the height of his stardom. The film earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary Feature.

Now, 43 years later, Brown's son Dana Brown has made a follow-up documentary, On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter. As might be expected, the younger Brown follows in his father's footsteps by focusing on racing, but he goes beyond that, capturing the excitement of athletes, innovators, celebrities, and visionaries around the world who have embraced motorcycle culture, a unique culture that has fostered closer family bonds among many participants.

Thrilling yet intimate, On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter was shot in 4K Ultra HD and should look spectacular when it opens in movie theaters this fall. We are pleased to premiere the poster for the film below.

HHSE executives FRED SHEFTE and ERIC PARKINSON announce the launch of Medallion International Pictures to handle the company's higher-end productions





Eric Parkinson While at Hemdale Communications

Hemdale Film Corporation, known as Hemdale Communications after 1993, was an independent film production company and distributor founded in London in 1967 as the Hemdale Company by actor David Hemmings and his manager, John Daly. Hemdale was initially founded as a talent agency that helped launch the careers of such bands as Black Sabbath and Yes. However, after Hemmings left the company in 1971, Daly purchased the rest of the company and refocused Hemdale as a film studio. Originally a producer and distributor of British films, Hemdale relocated to Hollywood in 1980. Derek Gibson later joined the company.

Among its most well-known films are The Terminator, The Return of the Living Dead, Hoosiers, Salvador, River's Edge, Platoon, and The Last Emperor; the latter two were back-to-back recipients of the Academy Award for Best Picture. Despite these critical and commercial successes, Hemdale followed these films up with a series of box office bombs and the company eventually declared bankruptcy.

In 1991, Eric Parkinson joined Hemdale as president of the company, eventually shutting down its production facilities and duties, and started acquiring and distributing films independently produced by other people.

In 1995, Hemdale shut its doors, shortly after it was announced that Daly and Gibson would leave the company. The library was then incorporated into Consortium de Realisation, a French holding company set up to handle the rights to titles acquired by Credit Lyonnais Bank.

After the studio's closing, the Hemdale library was incorporated into the Orion Pictures output now owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, after MGM acquired the Consortium de Realisation library from PolyGram (ironically, Orion was the original distributor for many of Hemdale's films). One key exception is The Last Emperor, a Hemdale production originally issued by Columbia Pictures, but whose rights are now held by its producer, Jeremy Thomas. Most of the outside productions Hemdale distributed have subsequently returned to their original owners (such as Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, which producer Tokyo Movie Shinsha now controls worldwide).

In 1991, Hemdale created a collection of many video cassette titles released by Hemdale Home Video, which was formed by Parkinson, around the United States of America. In 1995, the video rights to some of Hemdale's higher-profile titles were licensed to LIVE Entertainment (now Lionsgate).

The company's last new credit was for the Virgin Games video game adaptation of The Terminator, which showed up on the game's start up screen as "Hemdale's The Terminator" in text on the scrolling logo, despite all box art calling it "The Terminator"

BLOG: Busy Q4, Major Theatrical, Videos, VODwiz Activities!










Hannover House (HHSE) Investor Relations Blog

Busy Q4 for HHSE includes Major Theatrical, Video and VODwiz Activities!

Greetings HHSE Friends & Shareholders. We have received some inquiries about our current THEATRICAL plans and strategy for the coming quarter and year.

As many of you know, Hannover House has not yet experienced any direct success with prior theatrical releases. Movies like RACING DREAMS and TURTLE: THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY may have experienced a nice "bump" in their home video ancillary values after our theatrical release... but the movie TWELVE (with a P&A campaign of almost $2.5-mm!), was a major disaster that added painful debt to the balance sheet and operations. Accordingly, the company has been very hesitant to proceed with theatrical activities, unless a clear path for profitability was present. That said, HHSE is releasing FIVE films to theatres during Q4, each of which has a clear path to profitability from the theatrical exposure.

Here's a quick summary image of these five titles and the release plans as of this date. ON ANY SUNDAY: THE NEXT CHAPTER is a major releasing venture with Redbull Media House, which involves Redbull as financier of the theatrical releasing costs - a strategy that fits their branding goal for a wider theatrical release. BLACK-EYED DOG will have a limited opening (NY, LA and CHI) for awards qualification, before a modest expansion into additional top 40 markets. The foreign language films BORRAR DE LA MEMORIA, ASALTO AL CINE and THE WEATHER STATION have very limited theatrical plans - and very limited financial exposure - so the path to profitability is a short journey for those three specialty releases.

As HHSE moves into 2015 - we will be looking a major openings (over 1,000 theatres) for LEGEND OF BELLE STARR, SHADOW VISION and MOTHER GOOSE: JOURNEY TO UTOPIA all of which will have carefully structured theatrical release patterns tied-into the satisfaction of SVOD and CABLE TV presale agreements. HHSE will open "X" number of screens in "X" number of key markets because such a performance delivers ancillary revenues from SVOD and CABLE that justify the expenditure.

Watch for more news this week on the release venture for ON ANY SUNDAY: THE NEXT CHAPTER.

Q4 will also see the release of EIGHT (8) new titles to DVD and / or Blu-Ray... plus a major consumer outreach for VODwiz - which launches in August, and moves into consumer expansion mode through the next six months!
