Upcoming films that will be released under the Arclight Films banner include BOBBY; the fictional recounting of the events on the eve of Bobby Kennedy's presidential nomination, written and directed by Emilio Estevez and starring Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, Elijah Wood and Sharon Stone; INFAMOUS, which chronicles the sensational story behind the creation of Truman Capote's iconoclastic opus "In Cold Blood", starring Sandra Bullock and Gwyneth Paltrow; the Albert Brooks' comedy, LOOKING FOR COMEDY IN THE MUSLIM WORLD, which recently opened the Dubai Film Festival; the teen comedy MATERIAL GIRLS, starring Hilary and Haley Duff; MINI'S FIRST TIME, a dark comedy starring Nikki Reed, Alec Baldwin, Luke Wilson and Carrie-Anne Moss, produced by Kevin Spacey; and the Sundance selection COME EARLY MORNING, starring Ashley Judd.

Since its inception, Arclight Films has sold over sixty motion pictures, including THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, starring Academy Award winners Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons; the drama LORD OF WAR, a film based on the true-life story of one of America's most notorious arms dealers, starring Nicolas Cage, Ethan Hawke and Jared Leto; the romantic war drama HEAD IN THE CLOUDS, starring Academy Award winner Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz; and the espionage drama A DIFFERENT LOYALTY, starring Sharon Stone and Rupert Everett.

Last year, Arclight Films launched a theatrical production branch for the Australian market, with the goal of releasing six to ten features per year.
