Regent Entertainment to Release"The Hunting of the President: The Ten-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill Clinton" in New York June 18th

Clinton to attend premiere at NYU's Skirball Center with 800 VIPS on Wednesday, June 16th

LOS ANGELES, June … 2004 - Paul Colichman, Chairman of Regent Entertainment announced today that they will release the groundbreaking political documentary "The Hunting of the President: The Ten- Year Campaign to Destroy Bill Clinton" directed by Harry Thomason and Nickolas Perry, at an exclusive run at The Angelika Theatre in New York on June 18th and in Little Rock, Arkansas on the same date. There will be a VIP premiere in New York on Wednesday, June 16th at NYU's Skirball Center which will be attended by former President Clinton, Susan McDougal (who have not seen each other in over 15 years) as well as other politicos, VIPs including Harry and Linda Bloodworth Thomason, Alec Baldwin, Robert Altman, Lauren Hutton, Richard Belzer, Moby, Salman Rushdie, among others to be announced.

Following swiftly on the heightened political atmosphere of the pre-election campaign and the widespread interest in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," The Hunting of the President, based on The New York Times bestseller of the same name by Gene Lyons and Joe Conason, explores the myths and truths behind the ten-year campaign to systematically destroy the political legacy of the Clintons.

Narrated by Morgan Freeman, and using previously unreleased material, and interviews from both sides of the beltway, this probing work focuses on the smear campaign against Clinton from his days as Governor leading up to and including his impeachment trial. The documentary feature will also open in exclusive runs in Washington D.C. on June 25, in San Francisco on July 16 in Los Angeles and Boston on July 23 and in Chicago on August 13.

"This is a landmark film for Regent Entertainment" stated Colichman. "We hope this will carve out a niche for our company in the arena of first rate documentary productions and we are encouraged by the positive response the film has already received at both the Sundance and Tribeca Film Festivals. It has already been described as a documentary worth seeing for its eye opening look at how disreputable characters can impact government and how easily the mainstream media can be duped into covering scandal-smelling leads (by Variety). Others have described it as eye opening, probing and chilling and we are happy to present a documentary that illustrates how over 80 million dollars of tax-payer money and countless lives were ruined in a vindictive effort by a group of conservative fanatics who were 'on a witch hunt' to destroy the Clintons."

The film was written and directed by Emmy and DGA Award-nominated Harry Thomason, whose list of producing and directing credits includes "The Fall Guy," "Lime Street," "Hearts Afire," "Women of the House," "Evening Shade" and "Designing Women." Thomason has also won Angel, Christopher, National Broadcasting and National Education directing awards, among others. Along with Linda Bloodworth, Thomason was the chairman of the 1993 Presidential Inaugural. In 1997, Thomason directed "Saturday Night at the Summit," a live stage event for the Summit of World Leaders in Denver, Colorado.
Colichman, whose Regent Entertainment also co-financed the project stated, "We believe this film will put Regent on the map in the arena of cutting-edge documentaries. We were fortunate to have such rich subject matter, amazing text, and a phenomenal director creating the film."

In addition to former President Bill Clinton, dozens of political luminaries, media personalities and many other key players appear in the film including: Senator Dale Bumpers, Sidney Blumenthal, Everett Ham, William Rempel, Betsey Wright, Paul Begala, Larry Patterson, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Jerry Falwell, Janet Reno, Jeffrey Toobin, David Hale, Jim McDougal, Susan McDougal, Claudia Riley, Ken Starr, Jonathan Alter, James Carville, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.
