Stephen Jarchow founded Regent Entertainment in the early 1990s as a way to recycle old movies to the foreign market. He never imagined Regent would one day win an Academy Award.

Robert Burnett/Mindfire Entertainment
Bill Condon wrote Gods and Monsters for Ian McKellen, pictured here with Brendan Fraser.
Altman likes to tell the following story about Stephen Jarchow. In April, Free Enterprise screened at the U.S.A. Film Festival. And both he and Burnett were in town to present their movie in Regent's hometown. But Jarchow didn't make it to the screening. Instead, he was at his daughter's ballet recital. Burnett says that proved to him he had signed with a real company: The boss man put his family before film. No wonder Altman talks about releasing the Free Enterprise sequel through Regent. Imagine The Graduate, he jokes, only with Princess Leia in the role of Mrs. Robinson. C'mon -- it'll be a smash hit.
