Los Angeles, CA. December 1, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Verde Media Group Inc. (OTC: VMGI) announced it closed its acquisition of equity interest in Astrablu Media Group, Inc.’s “Fistful of Blood” trilogy property. “Fistful” is the best selling graphic book published by Heavy Metal Magazine, written and illustrated by Kevin Eastman who created the famed “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, and world-renowned graphic artist Simon Bisley. Under the executed agreement, Astrablu (www.astrablu.com) will continue its production role while Verde will maintain one hundred percent equity ownership of the property.

“Fistful of Blood” melds the Gothic Horror Genre with the Spaghetti Western mode a la Eastwood’s “Fistful of Dollars”. It is ripped from the bleeding-edge minds and pencils of Kevin Eastman and Comic Book fan-favorite, Simon Bisley. Replacing Clint’s solitary Western Gunfighter persona is a deadly, sexy, & voluptuous “high plains drifter” who wanders into an isolated, semi-abandoned ghost town deep in the Badlands of the American Southwest. She soon finds herself caught in a violent, three-way turf war between the town folks, a desperate gang of Zombie Outlaws’ & malevolent vampires. Our dangerous, bad-girl Gunfighter is quickly forced to put her deadly guns to use in an all-out effort to survive the battle between the evil insurgents, and her very soul.

William Veve, President of Verde Media Group Inc. stated, “We have concluded the acquisition of the Fistful property from Astrablu Media, the first of many as we begin our relationship. Which allows Verde to start the pre-production phase of this project. To be shot in stunning 3D, we will have a film of the highest caliber that will be enjoyed worldwide. Similar films of this genre, such as ‘Resident Evil: After Life 3D’, grossed over $200 million worldwide. We are thoroughly excited for the prospects of the entire trilogy’s success.”
