Peace Arch Acquires Additional Film Titles to be Marketed at Upcoming Cannes International Film Festival

New Titles Expand Peace Arch Film Slate to 12 as Company Continues to Execute High-Growth Production and Distribution Business Strategy

TORONTO—(MARKET WIRE)—May 5, 2006 -- Peace Arch Entertainment Group Inc. (AMEX PAE – News; Toronto: PAELV.TO - News), one of North America's fastest-growing independent film and television companies, announced today the acquisition of two new films for its Peace Arch Films division, marking the eleventh and twelfth titles the Company has produced or acquired since the beginning of its fiscal year on September 1, 2005.

The latest acquisitions include the feature film "In Tranzit," starring John Malkovich ("Being John Malkovich"), Thomas Kretchmann ("King Kong") and Vera Farmiga ("The Manchurian Candidate") in a gripping drama set in a World War II Soviet prison camp where the female guards are given the task of weeding out suspected SS officers.  The recently completed picture was produced by Michael Dounaev for Thema Production, and filmed in St. Petersburg, Russia.

In addition, Peace Arch has acquired "How to Change in Nine Weeks," a film written and to be directed by Simone North, based on the compelling true story, is an edgy and revealing look at the dark side of the adolescent experience, and a terrifying warning for parents who have little understanding of the perils of teenage life.  Thom Mount ("Bull Durham") is producing the thriller, which will be filmed in Australia this summer.

"These two acquisitions further reinforce a fantastic new start for our Company," said , President of Peace Arch.  "We have rapidly grown our film production pipeline since the start of our fiscal year, consistent with our strategic development plan calling for the production or acquisition of 4-6 dramatic films per year under the Peace Arch Films label. At the same time, our genre-film focused Archetype Film label is also on track to reach our goal of releasing 10 to 12 horror and other genre titles per year."

Peace Arch finances, produces, acquires and distributes feature film and television programming for the US and worldwide markets.  In recent months, the Company has successfully executed a number of key achievements in its strategic business plan to build high revenues in the global entertainment industry. Among the most important of these key achievements are:

The Company's recent agreement to acquire its first film library, a 500-plus title collection from Castle Hill Productions and its partner Dream LLC.  One of the world's largest independent film libraries, the acquisition brings Peace Arch:

·

A substantial supply of the content that is critical for success in the global entertainment distribution industry;

·

A consistently cash-positive library asset that brings accretive earnings to Peace Arch;

·

An eclectic set of classic and more recent critically acclaimed independent films, as well as titles in the sci-fi and horror genres that complement both Peace Arch Films and the Company's Archetype Films genre-focused label.

Peace Arch also recently strengthened its management team with the addition of entertainment industry veteran Gary Marenzi, who now spearheads international television sales for the Company. Gary previously headed international sales for Paramount Television.

Other achievements include the January, 2006, acquisition of kaBOOM! Entertainment, one of Canada's leading home entertainment companies. Peace Arch also retained kaBOOM! President Berry Meyerowitz to head the Peace Arch Home Entertainment division.  kaBOOM! has been exceeding performance expectations in terms of revenues and earnings. "It's been going gangbusters for us," Peace Arch President John Flock said of kaBOOM! in a recent investor conference call. "We see a lot of potential for growth in kaBOOM! and it has the ability to bring itself into the U.S. market."

Peace Arch also recently signed a major agreement with cable television leader, Showtime Networks, for the distribution of a dramatic miniseries based on the life of King Henry VIII, called "The Tudors," set for release in 2007.
