G2 Films (stylized as "G² Films") was originally formed in 1997 following [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]]'s purchase of the [[Goldwyn Entertainment Company]], which was re-established as MGM's indie/arthouse division. It was first known as "Goldwyn Films", but after Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. sued the company for using the "Goldwyn" name without his permission, it was renamed to G2 Films. In 2000, the company was folded into [[United Artists]], which then became MGM's primary specialty/arthouse division. | '''G2 Films''' (stylized as "G² Films") was originally formed in 1997 following [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]]'s purchase of the [[Goldwyn Entertainment Company]], which was re-established as MGM's indie/arthouse division.
