IDT Entertainment Mourns The Loss of Christopher Reeve

IDT Entertainment joins the world in mourning the loss of Christopher Reeve, a great American hero.

We were privileged to be working with Chris on what has now become his final theatrical feature project. Yankee Irving – the working title of the film – was very close to his heart, following the story of a boy who overcomes personal obstacles to realize his large dreams. Chris was the director of the movie, an animated urban fable, which is planned to be released in 2006.

Christopher Reeve was a great American who led by example and taught the world that obstacles in life are meant to be overcome. He was an inspiration to all of us at IDT Entertainment and everyone who worked with him.

IDT Entertainment’s DPS Film Roman and Harry Connick Jr. Team For 3D Animated Christmas Special Based on Connick’s Original Song “The Happy Elf” One-Hour Television Special To Be Distributed Internationally By IDT Entertainment Sales Anchor Bay To Release Special On DVD In The U.S.

Newark, N.J., September 29, 2004 – DPS Film Roman, an IDT Entertainment company, and recent Emmy award winner, Harry Connick Jr., will join forces to co-produce “The Happy Elf,” a one-hour 3D animated holiday special based on Connick’s original children’s song from his 2003 Sony/Columbia Records release “Harry for the Holidays.” “Harry for the Holidays” was the top selling holiday CD for 2003. IDT Entertainment is a subsidiary of IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT, IDT.C), an international telecom, entertainment and technology company. HC Productions, whose partners include Connick, Scott Landis and Ann Marie Wilkins, will co-produce.

Based on Harry Connick’s original Christmas song of the same name, with script by Andrew Fishman and story by Fishman and Scott Landis, “The Happy Elf” is the story of Eubie, one of Santa’s helpers whose overly optimistic outlook is put to the test when he tries to bring Christmas joy to a sad little town aptly called Bluesville.

“Harry Connick Jr. is among an elite group of performers with the rare ability to connect with audiences of all ages,” said Jim Courter, IDT’s CEO. “The combination of his musical talent and DPS Film Roman’s animation expertise adds up to holiday entertainment magic. ‘The Happy Elf’ promises to be a must-watch special for television and a must-have DVD for families worldwide.”

Now in production for the 2005 holiday season, “The Happy Elf” will feature an animated Harry Connick Jr. serving as host and narrator of the story. Mr. Connick will also compose and produce the score for the special. “I am happy to be working with some of the best people in the animation world,” noted Connick. “This is going to be fun.”

“’The Happy Elf’ is family friendly entertainment at its best,” said Morris Berger, CEO of IDT Entertainment. “IDT Entertainment’s Anchor Bay plans to release ‘The Happy Elf’ to the domestic DVD market, while our newly created IDT Entertainment Sales company will handle worldwide television distribution.”

“The Happy Elf” marks the third holiday-themed special for Connick. His first, a 1993 CBS holiday special, coincided with the release of his first holiday CD, “When My Heart Finds Christmas.” That CD went on to become one of the best selling holiday CDs of all time. His second, a 2003 NBC holiday concert special, emerged as the highest-rated show on Thanksgiving night. In addition, Connick was honored by the Emmys last month, winning the award for Outstanding Music Direction for his 2004 PBS Great Performances concert “Only You: In Concert.” All of these achievements – not to mention his album sales of over 20 million, his three Grammy awards, his Tony nomination for music and lyrics composed for a Broadway play, and his performance of Oscar and Golden Globe nominated songs – reflect a creative energy that make Harry Connick Jr. unique in the world of contemporary entertainment.

Sidney Clifton, Senior Vice President of Programming and Development for Film Roman, will serve as Creative Executive for DPS Film Roman. Scott Landis will executive produce for HC Productions, which is also developing for 20th Century Fox a feature film musical called “Ben Invention,” based on an original idea by Connick.

The young, hip police series “21 Jump Street” debuted in April 1987 on the then-new Fox Broadcasting Network. With Johnny Depp, Peter DeLuise, Dustin Nguyen and Holly Robinson in leading roles, the show quickly became the most popular series of Fox.

“The Commish,” starred Michael Chiklis as Commissioner Tony Scali and debuted in September 1991 on ABC. The series was based on a real-life police commissioner, Tony Schembri of Rye, New York.

Also debuting in the fall of 1991 was “Silk Stalkings.” The show starred Rob Estes as Sgt. Chris Lorenzo, Mitzi Kapture as Sgt. Rita Lee Lance and Ben Vereen as Captain Hutchinson. Based in wealthy Palm Beach, Florida, “Silk Stalkings” was an hour-long police drama that aired its first two seasons on CBS and the next six seasons on the USA Network.

Fred Dryer and Stephanie Kramer starred in the police drama “Hunter,” which originally debuted in 1984 on NBC. With a gun named Simon, Hunter was a L.A.P.D. detective with a tough but beautiful partner, Detective Sgt. Dee Dee McCall. The show enjoyed seven years in primetime.

“The Greatest American Hero” starred William Katt as a bumbling superhero. The series began airing in March of 1981 on ABC. Its theme song became a major hit record during that summer and has become a part of the TV-culture’s vernacular.

Debuting in 1992, “Renegade” starred Lorenzo Lamas as Reno Raines, a young policeman in Bay City, CA. The show aired on USA Network and also starred its creator, Stephen J. Cannell as Lt. Marshall Donald Dixon.
