Muller Media Acquires 20% Stake in MMA Feature Film, 'Never Submit'

Muller Media Acquires 20% Stake in MMA Feature Film, 'Never Submit'

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Muller Media, Inc. (Pink Sheets: MUME) President Kenneth Eade announced today that it has acquired a 20% stake in Imperia Entertainment's mixed martial arts movie, "Never Submit." The investment opportunity came about due to the production's need for cash before the anticipated closing of Imperia Entertainment's $10 million in bond financing on March 9, 2007. "This doesn't fit the company's family film production model, but it is a great opportunity for the company to capitalize on the rising popularity of this sport, which has brought in excess of $40 million in a single showing of pay-per-view events and adds great value for the company's shareholders," said Eade.

ABOUT "NEVER SUBMIT"

"Never Submit" is a movie set in the world of MMA. The performances will be a mix of nationally recognized actors and fighters. Auditions are being held across the country looking for actors and fighters for the movie.

"Never Submit" is an inspirational tale similar to "Rocky," but the lead character is an intelligent young man (as are most fighters competing in this sport) rather than a beaten-down punch-drunk fighter. An amazing cast of characters will round out this film; each from different walks of life; each with his own set of circumstances and motivating factors driving him to be the best. "Never Submit" is a metaphor describing the way these athletes live their lives.

TapouT Magazine (www.tapoutmagazine.com), the leading MMA magazine in the country, has begun a cross-country tour to promote its publication as well as the movie. TapouT Magazine readers can expect to see the mixed martial arts movie prominently featured in the bi-monthly publication throughout the casting, filming and theatrical release stages, as well as enjoy behind the scenes details from "Never Submit" director James Hergott, one of TapouT Magazine's newest contributors.

During the last two weeks Imperia announced bond financing sufficient to fund the film through to completion, and to fund the company's two films slated for production, "An Ordinary Hero" and "Whiskers." Imperia also announced the casting of MMA Legend Ken Shamrock and Three Time World Kickboxing Champion Cung Le.
