I would think Paramount. I could be wrong...  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-06-2010 12:28 AM                     If you're asking as to whether print logistics will be handled by DFS or Technicolor; then I would think DFS given the above post. I also wouldn't be a bit surprised if the prints came locked since Paramount likes to lock 'em up.  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J.

CBS is not owned by Viacom, they are separate, competing companies with an intense rivalry. The majority of shares in each are controlled by the same guy, Sumner Redstone, thru a company called National Amusements Holdings. CBS Films is actually intended to be a competitor to Paramount, who will have nothing to do with their distribution, as far as I know.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-06-2010 04:00 PM                     If you look over in Feature Info. you will find DFS is handling the film.  |  IP: Logged Jason Whyte Expert Film Handler Posts: 132 From: Victoria, BC, Canada Registered: Sep 2002 posted 01-07-2010 01:18 PM                        For the Canadian film-tech members, Alliance Films is distributing CBS Films titles.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 01-07-2010 05:21 PM                        Does CBS Films still have the rights to MY FAIR LADY or did that revert back to Warner?  |  IP: Logged
