CybeRelease Announces (OTC: POWN) Spider-Man’s Stan Lee’s New Projects
LOS ANGELES
February 16, 2006 -- POW! Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets: POWNStock Forums)
announced today that it is well on its way to becoming a major content
provider for the Entertainment Industry. POW! has already developed a
substantial portfolio of over 40 new Stan Lee projects that are
currently in various stages of development with entertainment giants
like Robert Evans, Paramount, IDT (Condor and Mosaic), Ringo Starr,
MTV, Hugh Hefner, Cheyenne Enterprises, SciFi Channel, New Line, VIBE,
Jeff Franklin (Stuart Little), Michelle Rodriguez (now appearing in the
ABC's "Lost"), the reality show producer Bruce Nash (For Love or Money,
Meet My Folks), JJ Armes, Cinder Block, The Jim Henson Company, Valcom,
Vidiator, Market China Inc., Celebrities in Action, and more. (The term
"development" can include all the activities required between the
inception of the idea for a project through its ultimate production and
release) Additionally, Stan Lee has conceived and materialized scores
of original story ideas for POW!.
POW! has attracted the attention of major motion picture studios,
television networks, animation studios, "A-list" actors, directors,
producers and writers along with publishers, video gaming and
telecommunication giants, all of whom are vying for unique content with
broad appeal. The word is out that POW!'s prolific founder Stan Lee has
been creating at an unprecedented rate and this past year has been
extremely productive. POW! has entered into numerous multi-layered
negotiations and deals with members of the top echelon of the
Entertainment Industry for the licensing rights to develop and produce
a multitude of POW!'s exclusive Stan Lee creations.
POW! concurrently is staying on the cutting edge of technology and
is not only utilizing traditional entertainment platforms for its
properties but has also inked a deal to provide content for worldwide
cellular phone applications via a new channel that is called "Stan
Lee's POW! Mobile".
POW!'s various projects ranging in scope from animated to live
action, include feature films, feature-length DVDs, TV series, Video
Games, Mobisodes, Webisodes, and a reality show pilot.
Since POW!'s inception, the Company has essentially been
concentrating on building a library of properties consisting of both
original Stan Lee creations and Stan Lee co-creations with other top
talent. The POW! model is structured so that as each property is
produced and subsequently released, the Company is positioned to
generate revenues from licensing, not unlike an annuity, in perpetuity.
To date, POW! has built up a large portfolio of proprietary
intellectual properties. We are not only very pleased with the quantity
but we feel the quality surpasses many of Stan's stellar earlier works.
While Stan Lee, in conjunction with other top talent, continues
creating a flow of new and exciting superhero adventures, POW! with its
strategic partners, is engaged in finalizing the production of the
projects currently in the pipeline. POW! now has reached the critical
mass of material which we felt was needed in order to have enough
product to begin a systematic and steady stream of releases. POW!'s
goal, now that it has a foundational portfolio of original Stan Lee
material, is to continue the creative process utilizing additional top
talent to develop these franchises sufficiently to insure product
availability for the future. POW! is not limiting itself to just
traditional platforms for its brand, but plans to develop and
distribute across all platforms and in all geographies while Stan, as
only he can, will continue creating new and exciting basic treatments
for additional POW! franchises.
To date, Stan Lee and his team of talented artisans have done a
brilliant job for POW!. They have created a plethora of first rate
characters that we believe are diversified enough to generate broad
appeal across multiple demographics, but at the same time have their
own unique identities in today's competitive market place. If you were
impressed with any of Stan Lee's earlier co-creations like
Spider-Man®(1), The Incredible Hulk®(1), X-Men®(1), The Fantastic
Four®(1), Iron Man®(1), Daredevil®(1), Silver Surfer®(1) and Dr.
Strange®(1), for Marvel, you should be thoroughly ecstatic as POW!
releases Stan Lee's newest cast of innovative and contemporary
superheroes.
POW!'s Chief Operating Officer and award winning producer Gill
Champion states, "As 2006 begins to materialize, I am pleased to let
our shareholders know that Stan Lee's new POW! Entertainment
superheroes have been enthusiastically received and alliances are
forming for their anticipated successful exploitation into the broad
consumer based markets. POW! is focused on developing complete
franchises for each property by utilizing multiple venues uniquely
oriented across all platforms to improve and maximize our margins. From
my 25-plus years of executive experience in global entertainment,
marketing, retail and licensing, I see that there are several factors
that give POW!'s new projects an advantage over competitive projects;
First is Stan Lee's undisputed track record of having created or
co-created many of the most successful character franchises of our
time. Secondly, Stan Lee's unique talent and ability to create popular
and enduring characters has amassed a Stan Lee fan base numbering into
the tens of millions. This enormous fan base possesses a tremendous
pent-up demand for new Stan Lee releases and POW! Entertainment now has
them. Thirdly, POW!'s strategy, when feasible, includes combining Stan
Lee's popularity with a variety of "A-List" actors, writers, directors
and producers to further enhance POW!'s projects. Thus far, Stan Lee's
reputation and track record have resulted in POW! attracting a number
of major talents to participate in POW's current projects. Finally,
Stan Lee, who is credited with the title "Father of the Modern Day
Superhero", has continually created characters that have gone on to
become extremely successful "franchises" (i.e. they lend themselves to
sequels, licensing to other media, to merchandising and to other
ancillary opportunities.). These factors among others increase POW!'s
ability to secure distribution and production partnerships with major
studios and to obtain investor participation if needed."
2005 was a foundational building year for POW! and we are now poised
to begin decades of production with subsequent releases from our
portfolio of proprietary properties which we feel will ultimately
become known as "The Best of Stan Lee".
