About Family Room Entertainment
Family Room Entertainment Corporation, with its subsidiaries, Emmett Furla Films Productions ("EFFP"), Emmett Furla Films Distribution ("EFFD") and EFF Independent (EFFI"), is a publicly held company trading on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board under the symbol "FMLY." Family Room Entertainment develops, produces and performs production related services for the entertainment industry. Family Room Entertainment's goal, through EFFI and EFFP, is to facilitate relationships (and as such, provide production related services) between creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) and companies who produce, finance and distribute motion pictures. FMLY derives its income from producer fees, production consulting and service fees and royalties as well as participation in the profits, if any, of certain of the pictures it produces.
The FMLY co-founders, Randall Emmett and George Furla, believe that they have the expertise and contacts within the entertainment industry, specifically in the competitive development, production and distribution arenas, to profitably acquire content, package product by adding value to the content with top quality talent and arrange with third parties to produce and finance motion pictures which are in the moderate to higher level budgets, which can be distributed by those with the expertise to effectively do so to a mass worldwide audience. However, there is no assurance that any motion picture, which has not yet been released, will be released, that a change in the scheduled release dates of any such films will not occur or, if such motion picture is released, it will be successful.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 2, 2006-- Family Room Entertainment (OTCBB:FMLY) is pleased to announce that earlier this morning, its wholly owned subsidiary, Emmett/Furla Films, announced in conjunction with Millennium Films that they had acquired the rights to produce and distribute a feature film based on the "Red Sonja" property as well as the allied and ancillary rights. The picture will be produced by Randall Emmett, George Furla and Avi Lerner as well as executive produced by M. Dal Walton III, Luke Lieberman, Nick Barrucci, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short and Boaz Davidson. The property is currently out to writers and directors. Based on a character by Sword and Sorcery legend Robert E Howard, Red Sonja was introduced into Marvel's "Conan the Barbarian" comics in 1973, and was soon given her own title series. In the years that followed, Red Sonja became an iconic figure in the Comic Book and Fantasy genres. In 2005 Dynamite Entertainment launched a new Red Sonja comic book series with great success. Red Sonja has consistently been the best selling mainstream independent comic book since its launch in July 2005. Featuring a stunning array of talent, the book launched with a "#0" issue -- and sold in excess of 240,000 copies. Along with comics, other Red Sonja merchandise has been released including: trading cards, collectible statues, high-end lithographs and more. Lerner stated: "I am thrilled to be producing 'RED SONJA.' Few other properties are as visually exciting and action-packed. Once again, Randy and George have found a winner." Emmett and Furla stated: "We have made it a priority of our company to acquire 'branded properties' and we believe that there are few properties out there which have as much untapped franchise potential as 'Red Sonja,' who is already a leader in both the Comic book and fantasy genres." Luke Lieberman, vice-president of Red Sonja LLC, currently serves as editor on the Red Sonja comic series, as well as co-writing the best-selling Red Sonja Vs. Thulsa Doom series, with a sequel being developed for release later this year. The deal was negotiated on behalf of Red Sonja, LLC by Arthur Lieberman, Esq. and The Gersh Agency and by M. Dal Walton, III on behalf of Emmett/Furla Films.
