FME Acquires Home Entertainment Rights To Kylie's 2008 Spectacular

FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME) has announced the acquisition of worldwide DVD rights to Kylie Minogue's current international live tour KylieX2008.
The content features the concert along with 17 minutes of bonus footage entitled '12 Hours'. FME launched this home entertainment package at MIPCOM to overwhelming interest from international buyers and is in the process of solidifying several deals. The DVD will be released in the UK on December 1, 2008.
The KylieX2008 tour is an international sensation, performance tickets sold out 120,000 eager fans within two hours of their release. As a result, many extra tour dates have been added and present ticket sales stand at more than half a million. Inclusive of stunning visual effects, the show costs £10 million to stage, making it Kylie's biggest and most expensive show to date. The concert features Kylie's new live band and 14 high energy dancers. Kylie is dressed in head to toe couture from Jean Paul Gaultier throughout the performance.
She draws on a breadth of material spread over her career, including hits such as 'Slow', 'On A Night Like This', and 'I Should Be So Lucky', alongside new tracks from her latest album, 'X' and some surprising cover versions.
'12 Hours', exclusive to this Home Entertainment special, is a glimpse at a day in the life of Kylie, from waking in the morning to her final encore at the end of the show. It allows the viewer to become a silent witness through the lens of the film-maker.
Pete Kalhan, FME Senior Vice President Home Entertainment, said: "KylieX2008 was a spectacular live show, one that can be enjoyed again and again, not just by Kylie fans, but by anyone who has an appreciation of live music and creative performance."
FME has also acquired worldwide rights to the 2006 documentary 'White Diamond', an intimate look at Kylie's preparation, performance and persona throughout the 'Showgirl Homecoming' tour featuring backstage footage and revealing interviews. This personal portrait has never been available on Australian DVD.
The KylieX2008 package is one of many brands in the FME Home Entertainment music portfolio. It also recently acquired 'Mantaray & More Tour Finale' from Siouxsie Sioux. Additional existing properties, 'There'll Always Be An England' from The Sex Pistols, 'Stiff Little Fingers' and 'Live From Abbey Road' Season 1 add further prestige to the full catalogue.
