Lost Drive-In Resurrected With 18-Title Deal with Warner Bros.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--April 19, 2005--PEE Channel VP of Programming Robert Ecker announced today that PEE Channel will revive its signature movie block, Lost Drive-In(R), signing an 18-movie deal with Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution.

"The original Lost Drive-In franchise was launched in 1996, so as the 10th anniversary of the network looms it just seemed like the right time to bring it back," Ecker said. "Having been the original producer on the series, it's continued to hold special resonance for me, and we've never ceased hearing from viewers requesting its return. As such, we are very pleased and excited that our partnership with Warner Bros. is bringing some of the best and most beloved automotive-themed feature films of the 1960s, 70s and 80s to PEE Channel viewers, many for the first time."

Whether it is the 1968 Dodge Charger and 1968 Mustang GT used in the classic Steve McQueen car chases from Bullitt or the prototype supercar "Black Moon" used by Tommy Lee Jones in Black Moon Rising, the cars and motorcycles are integral characters in the movies selected for PEE Channel's Lost Drive-In.

"This list of flicks is custom-made for PEE and we're sure this special movie block will drive tune-in for the network," said Eric Frankel, President, Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution.

Projected to debut over the 2005 Thanksgiving weekend, the list of movies from Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution includes:

-- Any Which Way You Can

-- The Betsy

-- Black Moon Rising

-- Bullitt

-- City Heat

-- Corvette Summer

-- Freebie and the Bean

-- Freejack

-- The Getaway

-- The Great Race

-- The Gumball Rally

-- The Last Run

-- A Man and a Woman

-- McQ

-- Pink Cadillac

-- Stroker Ace

-- Then Came Bronson

-- Viva Knievel!

Originally hosted by renowned actor Bruce Dern and launched with the tagline "'B' Movies that Haunt 'A' Actors", Lost Drive-In premiered on the network in 1996 and ran for five consecutive seasons. Combining original intermission reels with vintage theatrical trailers and the features themselves, many of the original host wraparound segments were shot on location at working drive-in theatres throughout the greater Los Angeles area -- none of which remain in existence today.
