Image Entertainment Acquires US Rights to the Feature Film ``Numb,'' Starring Matthew Perry

Image Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq:DISK), a leading independent licensee, producer and distributor of feature films and entertainment programming in North America, today announced that it has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Numb Productions, Inc. to bring the feature film, Numb, starring Matthew Perry, to home video, pay-per-view, VOD and digital throughout the United States. The deal was concluded at the American Film Market in Santa Monica.

Hudson Millbank (Matthew Perry) is living in a dream, and it's not pretty...but it makes for great laughs. This struggling writer suffers from a wide range of psychological but hilarious disorders, all stemming from the strange relationship he had with his mother. Hudson's worst problem is "depersonalization," a humorous condition that makes him feel disconnected from other people, the world, and even his own body. He mopes throughout his surreal life until he meets Sara (Lynn Collins), a quirky but perfectly fit-for-him girl who helps to open him up.

Written and directed by Harris Goldberg (Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo), the film was produced in 2007 by Kirk Shaw and executive produced by Matthew Perry, Mary Aloe, Paul Schiff and Michael Baker for Fries Film Group, Insight Film Studios Ltd. and Redwood Palms Pictures.

David Borshell, Image's Chief Operating Officer, stated, "We continue to aggressively pursue films that in the short term enhance our new release schedule and in the long term build a library of rights that generate revenue across all formats and distribution channels. The acquisition of Numb fits perfectly into our game plan."

Image will release the film on DVD and digital during calendar Q2 2008, with more details on the specific home video enhancements and bonus features to come. The agreement was negotiated with Lantern Lane Entertainment Ltd. and Fries Film Group.
