More Films From Comic Books

Posted on March 15, 2004

Lions Gate Entertainment plans film releases based upon two more popular Marvel properties -- Iron Fist and Black Widow. The new agreements expand the pre-existing relationship between Marvel and Artisan Entertainment, acquired by Lions Gate in December 2003, which allowed Artisan to produce and distribute feature films based upon The Punisher character.

Marvel and Lions Gate will share equally in certain revenues derived from the properties, with Lions Gate funding development, production and distribution. The new pact comes as both companies prepare for the theatrical debut of The Punisher. Other major motion pictures coming out this summer based on comic books include Spiderman 2 and Catwoman.
