The acquisition will add a key movie and DVD-oriented property to IGN's existing entertainment portfolio and will further strengthen the company's ability to deliver the coveted 18-to-34 year-old demographic to its advertisers. Rotten Tomatoes will be IGN Entertainment's third acquisition in the past 12 months, following on the footsteps of the company's acquisitions of GameSpy Industries and TeamXbox. The transaction represents a step towards broadening IGN's coverage of the movie and DVD markets, which are similar in demographics and buying power to the video and PC games markets reached by IGN's other flagship sites. "Rotten Tomatoes will add tremendous depth and complementary value to IGN's existing portfolio of movie and DVD coverage on IGN's FilmForce. Hardcore movie buffs and casual fans alike will be able to get the information they want on virtually any movie or DVD," said Mark Jung, CEO of IGN Entertainment. "By adding the Rotten Tomatoes audience to the movie and DVD buyers we already reach, we'll be able to offer even more value to our entertainment, games and general consumer advertisers." Rotten Tomatoes' addition to IGN Entertainment's portfolio will also increase the size of the key demographic audience the company already offers advertisers. According to comScore Media Metrix, Rotten Tomatoes reached a worldwide audience of 5.2 million in May, 2004, and, when combined with other IGN properties, reached in that same month an unduplicated audience of 22.9 million. * Rotten Tomatoes' CEO Patrick Lee is delighted to be joining forces with IGN Entertainment. "We are thrilled to be teaming up with an organization that really does online entertainment content right and shares so many of our company values," Lee said. "Rotten Tomatoes is all about providing the best entertainment content to its users. IGN shares the same mission." IGN's acquisition of Rotten Tomatoes will offer new opportunities for the game publishers, consumer product companies and Hollywood studios that already advertise on the media company's online properties. "The fact that Rotten Tomatoes' audience is more mass market than the audience of IGN's game properties broadens our offering to all of our advertising customers," explains Jung. "For our entertainment advertisers, we will be expanding our audience of movie and film enthusiasts. For our game industry customers, we will be providing reach to mass-market gamers. Our consumer product advertisers will get more reach to a key age group whose use of other media is declining. We also will be growing our female audience-nearly half the traffic to Rotten Tomatoes is young women. "Actually, the acquisition is a good demonstration of how IGN is applying our expertise in amassing vertical content, which we honed in the gaming field, to another key digital entertainment market segment-movies and DVDs," Jung added. The transaction is expected to close within the next few weeks. In a related move, the company has decided to stop using the IGN/GameSpy moniker and is reverting back to its legal corporate name, IGN Entertainment, which better reflects the breadth of the company's entertainment media holdings. About Rotten Tomatoes Started by a movie enthusiast, Rotten Tomatoes has become one of the leading destinations for both casual movie-goers and film buffs. Rotten Tomatoes' editors collect and index the reactions of the nation's top print and online film critics as well as offering a variety of related integrated services, including streaming movie trailers, movie show times, an image database of official movie posters and celebrity photos, and a price comparison service for DVDs. The site has information on more than 100,000 movie titles and offers 500,000 review links in its ever-growing database. Reviews are neatly summed up on Rotten Tomatoes' trademarked "Tomatometer" index as "Rotten" or "Fresh."

Well thank god I do things like that from time to time as Brian just emailed me this bit of INTERESTING info and yes it's an ADD-ON to SAM Da Mans Post:: Dragonball Z's Alive Live-action DBZ movie back on track. June 25, 2004 - Just when fans were beginning to think that all hope was lost for the live-action Dragonball Z, today's Variety scoops that 20th Century Fox has hired screenwriter Ben Ramsey (The Big Hit) to adapt the property for the big screen. In addition to The Big Hit, Ramsey has scripted the forthcoming adaptation of Marvel's Luke Cage and Columbia Pictures' Static. The trade tips that he'll be paid $500,000 for the gig. 20th Century Fox initially fast-tracked the project when the rights were acquired in Spring 2002, but development stalled out and DBZ was feared to be DOA. In fact, an unnamed Fox rep was recently quoted as saying, "We won't be making that movie." Sounds like that was premature. The hit Japanese anime series was adapted from the Dragonball manga by Akira Toriyama. Back in '02, he told the Hollywood Reporter, "I have always drawn my manga with the desire to create something unique to comics, something that can only be expressed in the form of comics. I felt that if I didn't do so, the reason for the existence of my comics will become weak. But recent movies have surprised us by entering such territory that used to belong only to comics with wonderful technology and wisdom." As the trade describes it, DBZ follows "the adventures of an adult humanoid alien who's just discovered that he was sent to Earth to blend in and destroy our population but instead elects to protect it from an oncoming alien onslaught." Fox production exec Peter Kang is shepherding the flick. No other talent is attached to the film at this time. Screenwriter Tedi Sarafian (Terminator 3) was previously attached to the project and director Roland Emmerich was reportedly interested at one point. Very very cool. www.Ign.com -=- SzR. -Subject: Good News for you Dragonball Addicts. hehe Posted on Saturday, June 26, 2004 @ 7:21 ![]() -Heres an update on the Live Action DBZ movie.
