From SciFi:
Marvel Enterprises announced that it has struck a deal with Lions Gate Entertainment to develop, produce and distribute original, animated direct-to-DVD features based on characters within the Marvel universe. Under the terms of the arrangement, Marvel and Lions Gate plan to commence production immediately on eight original animated projects, with the first title expected to be released by Lions Gate in late 2005, the company said.
Lions Gate will provide Marvel with licensing fees for character rights and fund all of the development, production, distribution and marketing for each title. Marvel will spearhead creative development and production. This isn't the first collaborative effort between the two companies, which co-produced the recent theatrical film The Punisher. A sequel to that film is also in the works, along with films based on two more Marvel properties, Iron Fist and Black Widow.
