Universal City, CA – Fandango at Home, the premium video-on-demand
streaming service owned by NBC Universal and Warner Brothers Discovery, will
launch the Hannover House – Hemdale Film Corp. family title, “WILDFIRE: The
Legend of the Cherokee Ghost Horse” commencing October 10 throughout the United
States and Canada. The movie, inspired
by the #1 worldwide hit song by Michael Martin Murphey, marks the final screen
performance for legendary star Anne Heche. Other stars in the film include Mo
Brings Plenty (“Yellowstone”), Adrian Paul (“Highlander” series) and Chevel
Shepherd, winner of NBC’s “The Voice” competition in her screen debut. The film
was written and directed by Hannover House CEO, Eric Parkinson. Hannover House stock shares are traded on the OTC markets under the symbol HHSE.
“WILDFIRE” was launched to theatres in selected markets last
weekend, and will expand to additional markets throughout October. The Hannover
House release is being handled through the company’s recently re-launched
Hemdale brand. The support campaign has been tailored to generate maximum
impact and awareness during the Fandango streaming launch, in order to create
the immediate access for consumers.
“Michael Martin Murphey’s song is iconic,” said Eric
Parkinson. “We believe that the launch of the film to On Demand through Fandango at Home will deliver the largest possible audience to access and view the film.
We will also be releasing the film months later via BluRay, DVD and other
streaming services. But the campaign supporting the Fandango launch in October is
what we feel will generate the greatest viewership,” he concluded.
The Fandango website generates over 30-million unique USA visitors
each month – and over 60-million visitors worldwide. The site is hailed within the entertainment
industry as delivering the greatest audience reach of any non-membership delivery
platform in the world.
