Lionsgate buys Summit Entertainment Studios

Posted by Jessica on

 According to The Hollywood Reporter, Lionsgate has bought the studio that filmed the “Twilight Saga” movies Summit Entertainment.

Lionsgate announced Friday it has closed its leveraged buyout of Summit Entertainment in a deal for $412.5 million in cash and stock and the assumption of Summit’s $500 million debt.

The $912.5 million deal brings together two of Hollywood’s biggest independent studios. The privately owned studio behind the hit Twilight movie franchise will now be part of the mini-conglomerate that will release The Hunger Games movie in March and has such TV series as Mad Men and Boss.

Lionsgate funded the purchase with $55 million of its own existing cash, $45 million of cash from newly issued convertible notes, $50 million worth of Lionsgate common stock and $20 million of cash or stock to be issued by Lionsgate in the next 60 days. The remaining $252.5 million apparently comes from cash that Summit had on hand.

At the closing, Summit also is refinancing its $500 million in debt, secured by Summit’s assets. Lionsgate says that while the debt must be paid off by 2016, it anticipates repaying the loan well before the maturity date thanks to significant cash flow that is expected. That would include money from the release this November of the final Twilight movie, Breaking Dawn: Part 2.

Lionsgate says that it expects this acquisition will actually help lower its debt, which is nearly $600 million.

Both the Lionsgate and Summit labels are to continue in the production and distribution of films, although, according to the announcement, “the combined company expects to realize significant synergies through the consolidation of administrative and other costs.”

This means there will be layoffs ahead as the two companies, which both have production, domestic distribution and international sales divisions, are brought into one organization.

Collider Interview with Ashley Greene – Twilight and Olivia Twisted

Posted by Jessica on

Collider recently talked to Twilight star Ashley Greene about the latest Twilight film “Breaking Dawn” and her other latest film “Olivia Twisted”:

Question: Now that all of the Twilight films are finished shooting, what do you think you’ll remember most fondly about having had this whole experience?

ASHLEY GREENE: I think just the relationships that were formed. And, there’s this feeling that you get when you walk out onto a carpet, especially at fan events, and just seeing the way that you effect these people and how passionate they are about something that I’m so passionate about. That’s something irreplaceable. I just did some press in Europe and I did an event there where I was just like, “This feeling is so incredible. You can’t replace it.” I feel like it’s a once in a lifetime thing to be a part of something like this. That’s something that’s very special. And, the bonds that were formed is something that I wouldn’t give up. Twilight is ending, but at least I know those bonds are still going to be there.

The wedding is really a dream-come-true for Alice, getting to plan every detail. What did you think when you saw how everything would look and the dress that you’d get to wear?

GREENE: I was excited for that. The dress was custom made, so I got to work with our costume designers, in creating it. They were great because they let me partner and collaborate with them, and create something that was still in the realm of the wedding and the other bridesmaids’ dresses, but also very true to Alice. It had a really fun Flapper feel. That was really fun for me, and it was fun to finally see it, all said and done. The actual aesthetic of the wedding was a surprise to me and a lot of people because, out of nowhere, they just created it one day and we were ushered to set. I think it was beautiful. I think they did a really great job. It has this very intimate feel about it, but it’s also just very elegant and a little magical. I thought it was really well done.

How much fun was it to do the dance that you and Jackson Rathbone get to do at the wedding?

GREENE: It was really fun! The rehearsals were more fun because I got to wear sweatpants, rather than jumping around in the dress and heels. It was also drizzling and it was kind of slippery, so I had to put a lot of trust in my dance partner. But, Jackson is really fantastic. He’s actually really skilled in that area, so he made it very easy to learn. If you have a good partner who knows what they’re doing, he’s the lead I’m following, so it was really nice.

Do you know what you’re going to shoot next?

GREENE: I’m doing something called Olivia Twisted, that will start next year. There may be something in between, but right now, that’s the one that I’m slated to do next year. That’s a very ultra-modern version of Oliver Twist, and it’s female-driven. It’s an action film, and it’s kind of dark and gritty. That’s something I haven’t done yet, so it will be fun. Hopefully, it’s good.
