NEW YORK -- Executives Lang Elliott and Raylan Jensen are relaunching the Sunn Classic Pictures imprint, the label behind such 1970s projects as The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams feature and the NBC series of the same name. Sunn was known primarily for its family-friendly fare. However, the label once also handled genre projects like the 1980 sci-fi film Hangar 18, starring Robert Vaughn. The Palm Springs-based Sunn has so far acquired Master of the Game by helmer Jeff Stolhand as the first of what Elliott said will be roughly 10 theatrical releases per year. Sunn will further continue to create projects for the small screen.
