SCI FI Acquires Horror Titles
SCI FI Channel has acquired the exclusive broadcast rights to several titles from Lions Gate Entertainment, including the network television premieres of Saw, starring Cary Elwes and Danny Glover and Alone in the Dark, starring Christian Slater, Stephen Dorff and Tara Reid, the network announced. The two films will premiere on SCI FI in 2007. In an unannounced deal earlier this year, SCI FI also acquired the rights to the network television premieres of Lions Gate's Cabin Fever and House of the Dead, which are slated to air in 2006.
In a statement, Thomas Vitale, SCI FI's senior vice president, said that films are a good fit for the network's expanding audience. "We are extremely excited to have the premiere network windows for these Lions Gate titles," he said. "We have a long history with them, and their movies are always enjoyed by the audience of our highly successful Saturday night movie strand."
Other Lions Gate titles in the acquisition include Monster Man, Rottweiler, Leprechaun 3 and Leprechaun 4: In Space.

Is it really so much to ask for them to get a decent programming schedule? I miss Babylon 5 among other great shows of days past. *sigh*
