American Cinema Int'l (aci-americancinemainternational.com) has announced that its animated feature, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, is set for a U.S. theatrical release on Oct. 19, 2007. The film will have its market debut during this year's American Film Market.

The CG feature is the first in a branded twelve-film series from Promenade Pictures, the family driven production and distribution outfit established by former studio head Frank Yablans. The film also marks the company's entry into the U.S. theatrical distribution arena.

American Cinema Int'l has acquired the international rights along with French speaking Canada for the high-profile film. Promenade retains all North American rights for the film including U.S. theatrical. ACI President Chevonne O'Shaughnessy and Promenade Pictures President and COO, Cindy Bond negotiated the deal.

"EPIC STORIES OF THE BIBLE is a fully-funded brand for Promenade Pictures, which will be produced by Promenade along with its partners -- New Zealand-based Huhu Studios and Singapore-based iVL Animation (owned by ST Electronics)," continued Bond. "We are equally pleased to also align this very special project with such a respected international distributor as American Cinema Int'l."

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS is voiced by Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley (narrator), Christian Slater (Moses), Alfred Molina (Ramses) and Academy Award nominee Elliott Gould (God). The film is directed by Bill Boyce (HERMIE & FRIENDS) and John Stronach (BEN HUR, CAHOOTS) from a screenplay by Ed Naha (HONEY, I SHRUNK THE KIDS).

Promenade Pictures was founded by Yablans, who serves as CEO. Cindy Bond, who serves as President and COO of the company, oversees a team of veteran media industry executives including Ron Booth, Charlie Gay and John McAdams. Promenade Pictures has established itself as a full-service production, distribution and marketing company specializing in the distribution of theatrical motion pictures appropriate for the entire family.
