Sundance Channel and Grey Goose Entertainment in Association With Conde Nast Media Group Present Season Three of 'Iconoclasts'

'Iconoclasts' Premieres Fall 2007 Produced by @radical.media

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- A third season of the original series "Iconoclasts" has been given the green light: the series is planned for premiere on Sundance Channel in October 2007. The announcement was made today by Larry Aidem, President and CEO, Sundance Channel, Monsell Darville, Vice President, Grey Goose Entertainment, and Richard D. Beckman, President, Conde Nast Media Group. Sundance Channel founder, actor, and director Robert Redford will serve as executive producer. The third season of "Iconoclasts" will be produced by @radical.media and directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky (the filmmakers behind Brother's Keeper and Metallica: Some Kind of Monster).

"Iconoclasts" pairs two leading creative innovators from fields including film, literature, architecture, fashion, food, music, and business. The "Iconoclasts" visit each other's worlds to explore their creative process, their inspirations and their passions. Not just an ordinary interview program, "Iconoclasts" captures the essence of these headline-makers through the eyes of the creative visionaries who respect and admire them the most. Set outside of a studio at a location meaningful to one or both of the subjects, each pair provides viewers with an inside glimpse into the passion, inspiration, and motivation that made these iconoclasts who they are today and insight into the real people behind the public personae.

Pairings in season one of "Iconoclasts" included: actor Samuel L. Jackson and basketball legend Bill Russell; fashion designer Tom Ford and artist Jeff Koons; chef Mario Batali and musician Michael Stipe; producer Brian Grazer and CEO Sumner Redstone; actress Renee Zellweger and news correspondent Christiane Amanpour; and actor and environmentalist Robert Redford and actor and philanthropist Paul Newman.

Participants for season two included: Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton; dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and chef Alice Waters; filmmaker Quentin Tarantino and singer/songwriter Fiona Apple; actress Isabella Rossellini and inventor Dean Kamen; music great Paul Simon and producer Lorne Michaels; and comedian Dave Chappelle and poet Maya Angelou.

"Iconoclasts" will be executive produced by Robert Redford; Jon Kamen, Frank Scherma, and Justin Wilkes of @radical.media; Monsell Darville of Grey Goose Entertainment; and Laura Michalchyshyn, Lynne Kirby, and Kirk Iwanowski of Sundance Channel and co-executive produced by Joe Berlinger. The supervising producer is Sidney Beaumont.
