RE: Official, NLC will be folded to Warner Bros Entertainment
Feb 29 2008, 12:11 AM EST Don't say goodbye to New Line quite yet. New Line is being kept as a label of WB. In fact, I could now see New Line as WB's answer to DreamWorks (which is a label of Paramount that also releases major films). I had expected this to come for quite a while now. And look at WB's deal with Legendary Pictures. A good number of these films have turned out to be quite profitable for WB. Especially 300. Maybe after the deal expires WB can swoop in to acquire Legendary and treat it as another major label to release films under - kind of like a second answer to DreamWorks, and also, the WB logo would no longer appear at the beginning of Legendary Pictures productions if such a deal were to materialize. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

Like some of Stephen King's recent novels. Let's take "The Colorado Kid" for example. New Line and DreamWorks could co-purchase the film rights to the novel. DreamWorks/Paramount could release the film in North America, and New Line/WB could release it overseas. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Sep 20 2008, 1:39 PM EDT New Line will still make movies under its name and logo, but its films will be distributed by WB. Do you find this valuable? |
