RLJ Entertainment (NASDAQ: RLJE), founded by Robert L. Johnson, RLJE Chairman and Founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) has acquired all North American rights to the highly anticipated film NINA, based on the life of legendary American singer-songwriter Nina Simone. With first time writer-director Cynthia Mort, the film stars Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy) and David Oyelowo (Selma, The Butler). NINA will be released in theaters in December 2015 under the RLJ Entertainment brand. RLJ Entertainment previously released its theatrical titles under the Image Entertainment brand, which RLJ Entertainment purchased in 2012.

"I am very excited that RLJ Entertainment will be distributing Nina Simone's biopic with the tremendous talent involved including Zoe Saldana and David Oyelowo," said Johnson. "I had the special privilege early in my career of working with Ms. Simone while coordinating a performance for former D.C. Delegate Walter E. Fauntroy and knowing first-hand of her major contribution to the soul and emotion of the Civil Rights Movement. I look forward as I am sure many others will, to her story and legacy being made available by RLJ Entertainment to consumers on various media platforms in the coming months."

"Robert Johnson is passionate about this film and he is passionate about Nina Simone, so we are excited to be in business with him," said producer Ben Latham-Jones. "We believe he can bring the powerful performances of Zoe and David to as wide an audience as possible."

NINA traces the career of legendary American singer-songwriter and civil rights activist, Nina Simone (Saldana). The story follows her struggle to balance music, family and what she believes in, which leaves her living alone in France feeling exiled from her own country. That is, until she meets Clifton Henderson (Oyelowo) who helps the high priestess of soul rediscover meaning in her life and music, and to once again embrace America. NINA reflects both her and the people she gave voice to in both their searches for redemption and hope in America during the 1960's.

Nina Simone is unarguably one of the great vocalists of the 20^thCentury; a 15-time Grammy nominee, she received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2000. Nina's versions of 'My Baby Just Cares For Me' and 'Feeling Good' have become standards, featuring in advertising and jazz compilations, and frequently covered by other artists. Her versions of such classics as 'I Put a Spell on You,' 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood,' 'Lilac Wine,' 'Ain't Got No, I Got Life' and 'Wild is the Wind' have become the definitive versions.
Nina's strong involvement in the Civil Rights Movement brought out the talented songwriter in her. While 'To Be Young Gifted and Black' is probably her best-known composition, and was subsequently covered by Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Bob and Marcia (whose cover was a U.K. top five hit) amongst others, she also wrote many other songs including 'Mississippi Goddam' and 'Four Women.'

NINA was produced by Barnaby Thompson (The Importance of Being Earnest), Ben Latham-Jones (Kids in Love), Stuart Parr (Get Rich or Die Tryin') and Cynthia Mort (The Brave One) and executive produced by Pierre Lagrange (Kick-Ass), Allison Sarofim (Lake City), Aigerim Jakisheva (Kids in Love), Zoe Saldana, David Oyelowo, James Spring (Burke and Hare), Gene Kirkwood (Rocky), Lauren Lloyd (Cellular) and Paul Rosenberg (Southpaw).

RLJ Entertainment executives Mark Ward, Chief Acquisitions Officer and Angela Northington, SVP, Content Acquisitions negotiated the deal with ICM Partners behalf of the filmmakers.
Recent RLJ Entertainment releases include The Rewrite with Hugh Grant and Marisa Tomei, and written and directed by Marc Lawrence; The Cobbler with Adam Sandler, Cliff "Method Man" Smith, Ellen Barkin, Melonie Diaz, Dan Stevens, Steve Buscemi, and Dascha Polanco, and written and directed by Tom McCarthy; and Blackbird Based on the same title novel by Larry Duplechan stars Academy Award® winning actress and comedian Mo'Nique (Precious), Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy),and introduces breakthrough actor Julian Walker and directed by Patrik-Ian Polk (Noah's Arc, The Skinny).
