Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. (also known as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, commonly referred to as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, commonly shortened to MGM) is an American film and television production and distribution company headquartered in Culver City, California. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer was founded on April 17, 1924, and has been owned by the Amazon MGM Studios subsidiary of Amazon since 2022. MGM was formed by Marcus Loew by combining Metro Pictures, Goldwyn Pictures, and Louis B. Mayer Pictures into one company.[3][4] It hired a number of well-known actors as contract players—its slogan was "more stars than there are in heaven"—and soon became Hollywood's most prestigious film studio, producing popular musical films and winning many Academy Awards. MGM also owned film studios, movie lots, movie theaters, and technical production facilities. Its most prosperous era, from 1926 to 1959, was bracketed by two productions of Ben Hur. After that, it divested itself of the Loews movie theater chain, and, in the 1960s, diversified into television production. In 1969, Kirk Kerkorian bought 40% of MGM and dramatically changed the company. He hired new management, reduced the studio's output to about five films per year, and diversified its products, creating MGM Resorts International and a Las Vegas-based hotel and casino company (which it later divested in the 1980s). In 1980, the studio acquired United Artists. Kerkorian sold the entire company to Ted Turner in 1986, who kept the rights to the MGM library in Turner Entertainment, sold the studio lot in Culver City to Lorimar, and sold the remnants of MGM back to Kerkorian that year. After Kerkorian sold and reacquired the company again in the 1990s, he expanded MGM by purchasing Orion Pictures and the Samuel Goldwyn Company, including both of their film libraries. Finally, in 2004, Kerkorian sold the company to a consortium that included Sony Pictures. In 2010, MGM filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and reorganization. After reorganization, it emerged from bankruptcy later that year under its creditors' ownership. Two former executives at Spyglass Entertainment, Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum became co-chairmen and co-CEOs of MGM's new holding company. After Barber's departure in 2020, the studio sought to be acquired by another company to pay its creditors. In May 2021, Amazon acquired the studio for $8.45 billion; the deal closed in March 2022. As of 2022, MGM is still producing and distributing feature films and television series. Its major film productions include the Rocky and James Bond franchises, and among its recent television productions is the series The Handmaid's Tale.

for Distributor in Untitled Attack of the 50 Foot Woman Sequel
Suggested by josephmcnulty
There was a sequel to the 1958 film Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was written, but apparently it's lost to time. Unknown release date, actors, and the plot. This has nothing to do with the crossover sequel that I made, reused the same plot, nor the What If. It also remains unknown if the script was written. It was to be produced with a higher budget and in color. There is a poster of sorts where it, the poster, says Revenge of the 50 Foot Woman, remember the poster has nothing to do with the Lost Sequel. Because it's actually from an abandoned mid-80s remake that was going to star Sybil Danning in the lead role, then the poster during the same time was given the title for some reason. For this theoretical film it was rather difficult to figure what year, because Allison Hayes pretty much stopped being in movies, she was only in five movies from 1960-1965 while the other credits were TeleVision episodes from 1960-1967 where she stopped acting all together, then past away in 1977 of lead poisoning at the age of 46. As for Ken Terrell he stopped acting in 1962 and died in 1966. So, I did decide on the early 1960s. After being electrocuted killing herself and her cheating husband, however, the electrocution really did kill Harry Archer, but as for Nancy it put her into a coma and was taken to a Military base. Nancy wakes up for the first time in years. An old enemy of hers is after her to finish what he started years ago. Nancy will fight for what he wants. She'll die for it!
