===Background===
'''New Line Cinema''' (also known as New Line Productions, Inc. and formerly known as New Line Cinema Corporation) originally started in 1967 by Robert Shaye, as an indie/low-budget film studio. Their first film was a Czech import called ''The End of August at the Hotel Ozone''. New Line was acquired by Turner Broadcasting on January 28, 1994; both merged with Time Warner (later "WarnerMedia" and currently "[[Warner Bros. Discovery]]") on October 10, 1996. Their most successful films are ''The Lord of the Rings'' trilogy released from 2001-2003 respectively.

On February 28, 2008, the company became a genre and low-to-mid-budget unit of [[Warner Bros. Pictures]], shutting down as an independent studio under Time Warner after CEO Jeff Bewkes fired Shaye as a result of the American box office failure of ''The Golden Compass''. The last movie produced by them as an independent company was ''Semi-Pro''. Most of their independent output is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery; however, many of their acquired product, including most of their foreign films, are currently owned by other companies, and the television rights to some of their early-to-mid '90s features, including ''The Mask'', ''Dumb and Dumber'', and ''Mortal Kombat'', lie with [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]] through [[Epic Productions]] and its Alpha Library Company.

'''Alternate Official Description:''' Out of the dark expanse, a single line of light defines itself. Gazing into the film celluloid, light obscures and gleams through the perforations. New, like a clean slate, light refracts, reflects and runs down the sides of the precise, glassy frames. Falling into place, piece by piece, frame by frame, disappearing into darkness and shining anew, bathed in color.
