News bites: Platinum, DC, Humanoids moves
A few items that need to be cleared from last week:
* Platinum Studios announced last week that it has secured $5 million in equity financing and has filed papers to go public. The company owns a large library of comics characters and has several film and TV deals set up around town, including the high-profile "Cowboys & Aliens."
* DC Comics has promoted David Hyde to VP of publicity. Hyde has been the company's director of publicity for the past four years.
* Pierre Spengler, who produced the original "Superman" movie in 1978, has set "Luchardores 5" as the first film to emerge from his 12-picture deal with French comics publisher Humanoids. The pic will be based on the comic "Lucha Libre," a comedic tale about five Latino wrestlers from East Los Angeles who decide to clean up their neighborhood. Adrian Cruz is set to adapt the comic, created by writer Jerry Frissen and artists Bill and Gobi.
