Hemdale Film Corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hemdale Film Corporation was an independent film production company and distributor founded in London in the early 1970s by David Hemmings and John Daly, headed by John Daly and Derek Gibson. It later became well known for the production of The Terminator (1984), Hoosiers (1986) and Platoon (also 1986).
In 1988, Hemdale released a collection of many video cassette titles around the United States of America.
After the studio's closing, the Hemdale library was incorporated into the "Epic Productions" output now owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer under its in-name-only division, Orion Pictures, which ironically originally released many of Hemdale's films. One key exception is The Last Emperor, a Hemdale production originally issued by Columbia Pictures, but whose rights are now held by its producer, Jeremy Thomas.
