Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. has acquired worldwide distribution rights to the feature film "The Deal," a romantic comedy currently in production in Capetown, South Africa, starring high-profile actors William H. Macy, Meg Ryan, Elliot Gould and LL Cool J, as the Company continues to expand its portfolio of film, television and DVD productions for lucrative international and domestic distribution. A 2008 theatrical release is planned by Peace Arch.

This acquisition of rights exemplifies Peace Arch's business strategy of assembling a diverse annual slate of new film and television programming through in-house production and third-party acquisitions, and generating revenues by the worldwide distribution of that content.
