EPIX Unveils Powerhouse Launch Weekend Lineup

Madonna “Sticky & Sweet: Live from Buenos Aires” Two-Hour Concert Premieres on October 30th

“Iron Man” and “Eddie Izzard: Live from Wembley” Underscore EPIX Viewer Promise: Movies, Music and Comedy

EPIX Launch Weekend Movies Eclipse $2.5 Billion in Worldwide Box Office

New York, NY, October 12, 2009 – EPIX™ unveiled today its October 30th launch weekend programming lineup featuring a powerhouse slate of movies with a worldwide box office value of more than $2.5 billion. EPIX’s opening weekend will debut with the worldwide television and online premieres of an exclusive two-hour special concert event, Madonna “Sticky & Sweet: Live from Buenos Aires,” Marvel’s blockbuster film “Iron Man,” and the exclusive comedy special “Eddie Izzard: Live From Wembley.”

The “Sticky & Sweet” concert is the single most successful solo-artist tour of all time; Madonna entertained more than 3.5 million concert-goers in 32 countries generating nearly $500 million in total gate. EPIX captured her dazzling two-hour performance, live in Argentina at Buenos Aires’ River Plate Stadium with special surprise guests Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, and Britney Spears seamlessly performing with Madonna via large screen. This will mark the first opportunity for audiences to see the sold out event following the live concert. The Sticky & Sweet Tour supported Madonna’s Grammy-nominated "Hard Candy," which debuted at number one on the charts in over 37 countries.

“Performances from artists like Madonna represent the kind of marquee talent who will perform on EPIX as part of our slate of monthly music and comedy events,” said EPIX President Mark Greenberg.

Kicking off opening night with Marvel’s blockbuster movie “Iron Man,” EPIX will debut a powerhouse line-up of movies over the course of the weekend:  more than fifteen world television premieres representing a combined worldwide box office value of more than $2.5 billion include Oscar-winner “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,”  Tyler Perry’s hit “Madea Goes to Jail,” family favorite “Pink Panther 2,” Lucasfilm’s “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” “Cloverfield” and “The Duchess” among many others.

In addition to movies and music, cutting edge comedy will headline opening weekend with “Eddie Izzard: Live From Wembley.”   Izzard performs at his inimitable best during this sell-out European tour, transcending labels with his stream of consciousness stories that captivate audiences as his characters evolve and situations become more absurd. Appearing in Oceans 12 and producing and starring in FX’s “The Riches,” Izzard is known for his intelligent improvisational style, capable of weaving together such disparate topics as the Greek gods and Medusa’s hairstylist, transvestites and superheroes, along with musings on the plight of rabbit-chasing greyhounds.

“There is no one like Eddie Izzard.  He breaks the mold.  He is smart, engaging and hilarious,” said Greenberg.

As for his involvement with the multiplatform channel, Izzard said, “I have always sought out new and innovative means for sharing my work with my audience; I am thrilled to be a part of the very early days of EPIX and their exciting new network.”

Hercules Unveils XPS Ultra Slim Speaker Line

Hercules Unveils the XPS Ultra Slim Speaker Line The Hercules XPS 2.0 40 Slim and XPS 2.1 40 Slim Bring Elegant, Slender Style to Your Desktop this Winter Season NEW YORK, NY – (Sept 29, 2009) – Hercules, a specialist in IT devices and accessories expands its successful XPS branded multimedia speaker line with the new XPS 2.0 40 Slim and XPS 2.1 40 Slim Speakers. This modern system delivers sound clarity and style with a black lacquer finish.  Among current speakers on the market, the XPS 2.0 40 Slim also offers the slimmest design available. This aesthetic achievement is combined with a genuine technical advance that very few other 2.0 satellites have, a slim appearance with clear and pure sound.  For those who enjoy a greater output power and maximum bass response, the Hercules XPS 2.1 40 Slim speakers featuring two satellites with a powerful subwoofer is the perfect match. Ideal for a contemporary home and just in time for the holiday gift giving season, the XPS 2.0 40 Slim will be available for the SRP of $34.99 and the XPS 2.140 Slim will be available for SRP $59.99 in early November 2009. Hercules XPS 2.0 40 Slim Finally, an ultra-slim speaker solution that matches the trend of slim PCs, the new XPS 2.0 40 ultra slim speakers bring harmony to your home and to your ears. Less than 2 1/2” wide and 9 1/2” tall, the XPS 2.0 40 Slim blends in with your interior décor elegantly and subtly providing you with more work space and less clutter. The speaker fabric used and striking black lacquer finish highlighted by a touch of aluminum color give a “Techno Deco” look matching the latest trends in computer designs. Hercules has specifically adapted their technology so that the slender shape of the XPS 2.040 Slim is integrated with perfectly clear sound previously achieved only through bulkier sound systems. The speakers are also magnetically shielded so as not to disturb anything in its surrounding environment.  Designed with a high-quality speaker grille fabric, they offer a total power of 5 watts RMS, 10 watts at peak. Hercules XPS 2.1 40 Slim Combining elegance with quality, the XPS 2.1 40 Slim model includes two magnetically shielded satellites with the same refined and ethereal design.  Its subwoofer, crafted entirely of wood, ensures a powerful bass presence. The subwoofer also features an extremely fine-grained finish, inspired by high-end audio system subwoofers. With 32 watts RMS (8 watts per satellite + 16 watts for the subwoofer), the XPS 2.140 delivers homogeneous, perfectly balanced sound, for a truly great listening experience, whether listening to music or watching movies on a computer. The Hercules XPS 2.0 40 Slim and XPS 2.1 40 Slim both come with a mini wired remote control, featuring a volume control knob, headphone jack and a handy line in input, allowing users to directly connect an MP3 player. Both are compatible with PC, Netbooks, Mac®, MP3 players, CD/DVD players, TV sets and game consoles.
