Cineplex Studios/Entertainment 2013-2014 Announcements

Multiple Announcements

Thank you for checking in with our blog to see what all the excitement is about!

This year is promising to be the best year ever for Cineplex Studios/Entertainment.  Starting with the Journey: Origins web series and then The Journeys, we have built and are the only direct to TV broadcast production/distribution company that has been formed from a simple web series in the country.  This is very good news for our share holders.

Our first announcement is that we have decided to wrap the science fiction series Destiny later this year with 12 complete episodes, Starring JoAnna Selby, Bella Favela & Savannah Ostler.  This has been our best season to date and we are very proud of all the hard work everyone has done on the show.   The Destiny series will run on KVMD TV through the end of August this year.

The Destiny series might return in the future but for the moment we will be focusing on other productions, starting with a new series that will tell the back story of Maxine Cordolla, from the Destiny series, played by Bella Favela.

Bella will also serve as the co-producer of the new series (which has yet to be titled).  The new series will be about the life of Maxine Cordolla as a Mexican/American agent before she got involved with the Alignment forces in the Destiny series.

The new series is currently in development and we are looking to start casting in the near future.  The structure of the new show will allow for actors and actresses to be in just a single episode or two as guest stars.  The new series is scheduled for 12 episodes and will go into production later this year or early next year.

More broadcast channels

Cineplex Entertainment will be adding at least one more broadcast channel here in the Los Angeles area this year.  This will allow us to expand our programming to a wider and more divers audience than ever before.  In turn we have opened the doors for sponsorships by doing this.

We are in a really good position with the renewal of the KVMD TV agreement that was just signed by the CEO of Cineplex Entertainment and the General Manager of KVMD TV last week.  KVMD TV broadcast to over 17 million homes in the Los Angeles area.

More info on the new broadcast channel(s) as it becomes available.

Leilani is a contemporary story about a young woman and her discovery of her ancestry and the hula.

The initial run of this series will be 4 episodes of 30 minutes long and will be available for sale online.

New Destiny Poster Release

Destiny PosterCineplex Entertainment releases the newest Destiny poster featuring JoAnna Selby as Destiny, Paul Louis Harrell as Scott Turner and Bella Favela as Jourdella.  Season 6 of The Journeys, sub titled: Destiny is a re-make of the original series Journey: Origins (2009).

This time we go a lot more into detail of the characters and their motivations for making the cloning experiment happen and the Journeys internal struggle with their own future.  One unique aspect of this new series is the fact that Destiny is in a reality that she was not suppose to be in and as a result she gets to know her mother Kimberly, before becoming pregnant with Destiny.  This series still has some unpredictable surprises for the public as the story moves forward.

This is an original sci-fi series that is based on the emotional feelings and driven by passion for the future of the cloning experiment that Destiny and Kimberly have for the project.

Produced by Cineplex Studios with Fred Copeland and John William King, Executive Producers and released by Cineplex Entertainment.  You can catch two new episodes exclusively on http://www.cineplexstudios.com starting Thursday March 21st at 7 pm PT with the second all new episode Thursday March 28th at 7 pm PT.

Karla Smith as Journey

Karla Smith as Journey

Karla Smith as Journey

Karla Smith has replaced Norma Louise as Journey starting with Destiny, episode 7 that is scheduled to go into production early next month.

Karla has been on the cast of Destiny for the past few episodes as the character Jessica.  She started out as a Journey clone working for the Alignment organization and starting with episode 5, has moved over to the FBI task force as a mole planted by Jourdella.  After episode 6, Journey starts seeing what Senator Mooreen was seeing and begins to take on the Senators views against her own race, which leads Journey and Jourdella clashing over who is right and who is wrong.  This becomes a story of good vs, evil, but which Journey is good and what defines evil, for the survival of the Journey races hinges on the outcome.
