This company now goes from an accusation company to a film development company. It will be interesting to see their first film. If it does half as good as Iron Man or Batman, the company could see healthy profits. Stock is still cheap. Thank you. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=11814 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1013860/fullcredits#cast Platinum Studios has starting filming on their first film property Dylan Dog as of last week.

Just saw some interesting news on Advisors. Some really big names in the industry. "Inaugural members of the Advisory Board include Mark Canton, former Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment and currently Chairman Atmosphere Entertainment; Richard Fowkes, Head of Business Affairs for Legendary Pictures and former EVP in charge of business affairs for the motion picture group at Paramount Pictures, Andrea Hein, former President of Viacom Consumer Products and current EVP of First Wives World; Michael Helfant, former President and COO of Marvel Studios; Gale Anne Hurd, Chairman of Valhalla Motion Pictures; John W. Hyde, former President and CEO of Film Roman, former Vice Chairman of Starz Media and currently Chairman of Rehab Incorporated; Jerry Katzman, former Vice Chairman of William Morris Agency; Steve Milo, former President of New Media for Marvel Comics; Gareb Shamus, Founder of Wizard Entertainment; Charlie Weber, former CEO of Lucasfilm; Glenn Rigberg, President of Rigberg Entertainment Group; and Ed Dille, Chairman of Fog Studios." Hopefully, these guys can help them get the job done right, and when the market returns, turn this stock around. IMO I see Platinum has fallen like the rest of the market.

National Lampoon has sign on as a sponsor for WOWIO and on the movie side, Robert Downey JR has agreed to sign on for Cowboys and Aliens, not just thinking about doing it as was previously reported. Also new gaming contracts for development on WII, Microsoft X-Box games. Read the comic Cowboy and Aliens to see what Im talking about. http://www.drunkduck.com/CowboysAndAliens/ Update from Money TV interview today.

Those include WOWIO, DrunkDuck (a web community for artists) Spastk, like realplayer, Platinum Studios mobile, and the Comic Book Challenge, which is going on now. I think these things make Platinum different than Marvel in the sense that they are doing more things to bring Comics and its applications to market. Marvel seems like films and comics, maybe webcomics now too. Like Platinums logo says "Comics fueling MEDIA EVERYWHERE. Looks like there sticking to that business plan.

Platinum Studios owns DruckDuck, a web community where artists can go to showcase their work. Recently, I had read somewhere where a guy got his work picked up and sold to Image Comics. Not bad for just posting your work and showing your comics to others. They also have a cell phone deal to showcase comics and material online for wallpaper and screensavers for cell phones and mobile devices. The recent buy of WOWIO is new and part of their plan to get comics and media into the mainstream. It is now international. Also going on now is the Comic Book Challenge. It is kind of like an American Idol of comics in which a talent contest will choose who is the best artist. Right now they have 50 contestants which will go to 1. They get a contract with Platinum Studios and their work get submitted for Comics, Film and TV. Pretty Cool huh. They also have contracts with Gaming studios, Animation Studios, Comics, Video Player (like Quicktime player) for videos and more to come. Looks like a mini Marvel to me. All this data was seen on the IHUB board and their website. Had to say it came from somewhere, I couldnt remember all these things by heart "). Stock is still cheap for now, as I think not that many people still know about this yet. Thanks <strong>Editor's response:</strong> Thanks. I want to comment on the other aspects of the company.

Marvel’s Hulk, Spider-Man, and X-Men were all established heroes known pretty much to everyone. Platinum will have to make their heroes a household name to get as much traction…..maybe. I would like to comment on this. WitchBlade is a well know comic, not as well as X-Men, but could be a household name if done to the comic and done right. Battlestar Galactica"'s Michael Rymer is set to direct. With there large number of characters, which we have only seen the tip of, Im sure more well known characters will show up in the future. As to star power, Jenna Dewan (Grundge 2) & Luke Goss (Hellboy 2) are set to appear in Gale Anne Hurd's Magdalena and Brando Routh (Superman 2) to appear in Dylan Dog with Hyde Park Entertainment (who is working on Streetfighter-out shortly) and Ron Howard and Steven Speilberg working on Cowboys and Aliens with Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man) looking at playing the lead. There is alot of big names here and I think we will see more as deals continue to develop. BTW, nice article. Have you seen the Jeremiah series on Sci-Fi. Look for the big silver "P" at the end of the credits. Yes that is one of their TV series that was sold. Thanks Jacob <strong>Editor's response</strong>: Thanks for the background info...maybe they'll have an easier time getting endeared than first thought. I personally don't know all of the names/characters you mentioned, though the actors/directors are clearly top tier. (Anything anybody from BSG does gets a vote from me - it really is the best show on TV, even if slow to start the next season. 2009? Geez. Then again, it'll take me until 2009 to really figure out whether or not their 'Earth' is actually our 'Earth'. Somethin's fishy, with Starbuck at the heart of the confusion.)
