`SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Legend Films, Inc., a global entertainment and digital media
`company, has closed on a $5 million Series E Preferred Stock offering. The lead investor was
`Augustus Ventures Limited, with participation by Legend’s largest shareholder -- Boston-based equity

`2D to 3D Conversion: Legend Films, in partnership with digital imaging innovator Passmorelab, has
`created cutting-edge technology and processes for converting 2D film and video into stereoscopic 3D.
`This technology can transform any movie or TV show into 3D for in-theater or in-home viewing. By
`next year there will be thousands of 3D-enabled theaters, and millions of 3D-enabled television sets in

`production experience, the team of Legend Films and Passmorelab is perfectly positioned to become

`“Night of the Living Dead” to Be Released in Color and 3D
`
`December 23, 2008 08:38 PM Eastern Standard Time
`
`SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“Night of the Living Dead” is getting a unique dimensional twist that
`promises to pull viewers closer to the undead action. The team of Legend Films and PassmoreLab is
`bringing new life to the undead by converting the previously colorized genre-defining zombie film into
`jaw-dropping 3D. The enhanced 1968 George Romero cult classic is slated for release on April 1,
`2009.
`
`This updated 3D version of “Night of the Living Dead” will preserve the original vision of the film and its
`memorable story and characters while going several steps further and brings new meaning to the
`memorable line, “They’re coming to get you!” The audience will no longer feel safely isolated from the
`undead; they’ll feel as though they actually are part of the experience and are trapped by protagonists,
`Ben and Barbara, in the farm house as the zombies close in for the kill.
`
`While “Night of the Living Dead” wasn’t the first zombie film ever made, it’s certainly the film that
`introduced the zombie archetype to the horror genre. The independent movie defied the odds when it
`was released in black and white, grossing over $30 million internationally. Four decades later the film
`is going strong as a popular cult classic and a staple of any scary movie marathon. “Night of the Living
`Dead” has a huge fan base and has inspired a number of sequels and spin-offs of the original film.
`
`“'Night of the Living Dead' is a great cult film and conversion into 3D is a certain crowd pleaser,”
`commented Greg Passmore, PassmoreLab’s President. “It is looking really awesome. Legend did a
`beautiful job on color and the 3D conversion we are now teaming up to produce is downright zombie
`popping,” he concluded.
`
`This conversion project is intended to produce a fun and energetic film release that will no doubt
`become a Halloween favorite for zombie fans both young and old. Those who are already fans of this
`cult classic will enjoy this new twist on an old favorite while new viewers can experience the undead
`action for the first time in vivid color and 3D, complete with re-mastered sound.
`
`“Using the most advanced, proprietary technology, ‘Night of the Living Dead’ will be the world’s first
`full-live action feature film to be converted from 2D to 3D,” explained Barry Sandrew, Ph.D., Legend
`Films’ Founder and President. “The eight-year relationship between Legend Films and PassmoreLab
`has evolved into a powerful technology and production partnership poised to capture a significant
`portion of the burgeoning 3D conversion market.”
