Republic Pictures, an historic movie label founded in 1935 and shuttered in 1967, has been revived by parent company. The banner will function as an acquisitions play, releasing titles acquired by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
“We’ve chosen to revitalize the Republic banner given its storied history of delivering popular movies to a global audience, ” said Dan Cohen, Paramount chief content licensing officer and newly-named president of Republic Pictures. “With our best-in-class global distribution teams working to identify the best homes around the world, we aim to continue that legacy by offering audiences great entertainment across all genres.
Two films have already been set as Republic Pictures releases. The first is “Winter Spring Summer of Fall,” the feature directorial debut of Tiffany Paulsen. It will star “Scream VI” and “Wednesday” supernova Jenna Ortega and Percy Hines White as two teens who fall in love over four days across the calendar year. The second is “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,” from the legendary William Friedkin .
Republic’s legacy is mostly centered around classic Westerns, many of them starring John Wayne, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. Founded by Herbert J. Yates, the label also released films from director John Ford and Orson Welles .
