It has
come to our attention, that Cinema Arts International was dissolved
as a company recently, on 14th September 2004.
Cinema Arts was the production company run by Roy Skeggs. Incorporated
in 1975, Roy used the company to produce the Rising Damp, and George
and Mildred films in the late 1970s, and the Hammer House of Horror
tv series, whilst Hammer itself was in receivership, following
bankruptcy on The Lady Vanishes.
Following the dismissal of Michael Carreras, Roy bought Hammer in
1983, until selling it in 1999 to the current owners - a multimedia
conglomerate, for an undisclosed figure.
Roy continued to work
independently with Cinema Arts after the Hammer
sale, sharing directorship duties with his son (and former legal adviser
to Hammer), Graham Skeggs, and running offices at Elstree.
The reason for the fold is not currently known, and recent accounts
are not available. |
