PEACE ARCH ENTERTAINMENT CONCLUDES STRONGEST MIPTV MARKET IN COMPANY’S HISTORY


18 Titles Cleared in 14 Territories at

Premier International TV Sales Market in Cannes



Toronto - April 18, 2008 - Peace Arch® Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX:PAE - News) (TSX:PAE.TO - News), an integrated global entertainment company, today announced that it closed major television and DVD deals on 18 titles in 14 territories at April’s MIPTV market held in Cannes, France, the best showing in the Company’s history.


“We are pleased to report robust sales on a wide variety of new and catalogue titles at this important international television market,” said Peace Arch Entertainment President-COO John Flock. “Over the past year performance at MIPTV and the other major television markets has become an increasingly important part of our business plan, and it will become even more so as we execute the planned expansion of our television production, acquisition and sales business over the next few quarters.”


Peace Arch licensed its explosive four-hour mini-series “Guns” to RTL2 in Germany, Free Dolphin in Spain, Nu Metro in South Africa, and Movie Network in Australia. “Guns,” starring Elisha Cuthbert, Lyriq Bent and Colm Feore, is the gritty story of four families caught up in illegal weapons trafficking and the impact it has on their lives.


The Peace Arch sales team, led by international sales chief Kevin Byles, also made sales on other new product including “Never Cry Werewolf” starring Nina Dobrev and Kevin Sorbo, the crime drama “The Last Hit Man” starring Joe Mantegna, and the heart-warming family drama “Ace of Hearts” starring Dean Cain.  Licensees include Nu Metro, Movie Network, BskyB in the United Kingdom, RTE in Ireland, Phoenicia in the Middle East, Daro in Eastern Europe and Lime-Light in Benelux.


Other sales were made on the feature drama “Guantanamero” starring Natalia Verbeke, the Tom Green starring comedies “Shred” and “Shred 2,” the Stephen Rea thriller “Devil’s Mercy,” and the Lucy Liu/Cillian Murphy romantic comedy “Watching the Detectives.”


Lifestyle TV programming sold by Peace Arch at MIPTV included the series “Bulging Brides,” which was acquired by WEtv for Spain and Latin America.
