Tristar

TriStar

Muppets, Rambo, Terminator and Godzilla. This company have been responsible for big name films. These names of films are going to be known and this shows that this company make big budget films that don't tend to flop.

TriStar Pictures, Inc. (spelled as Tri-Star until 1991) is an American film production studio of the Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group, owned by Sony Pictures Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate Sony.

The concept for TriStar Pictures was the brainchild of Victor Kaufman, a senior executive of Columbia Pictures who convinced the studio, HBO, and CBS, to split the ever-growing costs of making movies, creating a new joint venture in 1982. On May 16, 1983, it was given the name TriStar Pictures (when the new company was formed and did not have an official name, the press used the code-name "Nova"). It was the first new major Hollywood studio to be established since RKO Pictures was founded over 50 years earlier.

Their first produced film in 1984 was intended to be The Natural starring Robert Redford, but their first released film, Where the Boys Are '84, the 1984 remake of the 1960 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, Where the Boys Are. During this venture, many of Tri-Star's releases were released on VHS by either RCA-Columbia Pictures Home Video, CBS/ FOX Video, or HBO Video.

CBS dropped out of the venture in 1985, though they still distributed some of TriStar's films on home video until at least 1992. In 1986, HBO dropped out of the Tri-Star venture as well and sold half of its shares to Columbia Pictures. The same year, Tri-Star entered into the television business as Tri-Star Television. It was formed when the studio joined forces with Stephen J. Cannell Productions and Witt/ Thomas/ Harris Productions and created a television distribution company called TeleVentures.

I think that Tristar are a very good company to help fund our film because they have been involved in the productions of such high end films but also seem to make films of our genre which would make them the perfect investor for out film. plus if they are to make it people are more likely to watch and buy it because they are one of the production companies involved, and their films don't tend to flop.
