Judge dismisses all claims brought by Tim LaHaye against Cloud Ten
Pictures
(March 27th, 2003) Niagara Falls, Canada--The Federal judge in the Tim LaHaye lawsuit over the LEFT BEHIND films has dismissed all of LaHaye's claims against Cloud Ten.

"Obviously the Federal Court has vindicated Cloud Ten," says the company's President Edwin Ng. "We are extremely pleased with the result and continue to look forward to making future Left Behind films, television programming and films based on the Left Behind: The Kid's series."

The Left Behind book series co-authored by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B.Jenkins has 10 books in the series so far with the 11th book Armageddon releasing on April 8th. Many of the books have topped the NY Times Best Seller list.

"We would like to congratulate Tim, Jerry and Tyndale House on the tremendous buzz surrounding this new title," says Cloud Ten co-CEO Peter Lalonde. "Despite our disagreements with Dr. LaHaye we believe that both the books and movies are making a difference in people's lives.

Both have been extremely successful and retailers will be cross promoting 'LEFT BEHIND: The Movie' and 'LEFT BEHIND II: Tribulation Force' along with the new book release."

In 2000, 'Left Behind: The Movie' sold over 3 million copies and won the VSDA's "Best Selling Title of the Year by an Independent Studio." The follow-up, 'Left Behind II: Tribulation Force' (released in October 2002) did not disappoint when it debuted at #2 behind Spider-Man which released the same week.

NEW RAPTURE MOVIE ‘GONE’ NOW ON DVD
(Los Angeles) One of the most critically acclaimed Christian motion pictures of last year, ‘GONE’ has come out on DVD.

“GONE” was one of five American films selected at last year’s (2002) NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) at the prestigious Sony CineAlta Film Festival. Among the other films selected were “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones”; “Ali”; and “Lovely and Amazing”. It was the only Christian film ever selected in the history of the festival.
“This is a hard-core, evangelical, Christian film,” says Tim Chey, the director. “Jesus Christ is at the center of this film and it glorifies him from beginning to end. We never compromised on this mission, I pray.”

In this post-apocalyptic thriller, ‘Survivor’ stars Dirk Been and Joel Klug star as tenacious lawyers who are sent to Manila to defend a multi-national corporation; but instead, meet their fate when the Rapture occurs. Great calamities occur while the characters size up the world, humanity, and finally God in this intelligent, fast-paced drama.

“GONE” was also showcased at last year’s Dove Awards (2002) and the MovieGuide Awards (2002) as seen on PAX TV. For more information, log onto: www.GoneTheFilm.com.
