Metan takes Hollywood online

US media company Metan Development Group has appointed an online distributor to take its Hollywood magazine series around the world.

Film Annex has added Hello! Hollywood, Metan’s Mandarin-language series about celebrities filmed for Chinese viewers, to its web TV portal and has also launched a Chinese version of its website to encourage new visitors.

Los Angeles-based Metan was founded in 2009 by entertainment veteran Martin Pompadur, E! Entertainment Television co-founder Larry Namer and Amerilink founder Jean Zhang, with the aim of bringing Western content to China. Hollywood is aired on 40 networks in China, as well as nine in the US and Canada.
