Starz! Pictures

Background : Starz! Pictures was an internal studio of Starz, launched to produce original movies for their channel. The studio was closed in 2002, after they released their first and only major film project.

1st Logo
(1996?-2002)

Logo : A spot light with the then current Starz logo is seen on a dark background. STARZ! PICTURES is seen below the logo. The logo itself looks like it is self contained in a box, as a blue light that is clearly seen in the right hand corner is cut off.

FX/SFX : CGI.

Music/Sounds : A piano entry.

Availability : Appears on several TV-movies, like Escape from Atlantis.

2nd Logo
(2002)

Logo : A gray explosion of fog occurs on a black background. After a few seconds, the fog moves around and forms a spotlight shape, as we see several light streaks below the spotlight form the then-current Starz logo. The spotlight circle releases a lot of light, as "STARZ! PICTURES" fades in underneath the picture. As the light dies down, the spotlight becomes enclosed in a box in a 2D style.

FX/SFX : CGI.

Music/Sounds : The opening theme of the movie plays over.

Availability : Appears on Joe & Max.
