Warner Independent Pictures
Warner Independent Pictures was an independent film division of the American film studio Warner Bros. Entertainment. Established on August 7, 2003, its first release was 2004's '' Before Sunset,'' the sequel to the 1995 film ''Before Sunrise.'' The division financed, produced, acquired and distributed feature films largely budgeted under $20 million. Mark Gill was the division's first president. After a controversial departure, Gill was replaced by former Warner Bros. production executive Polly Cohen, who served as president of this division until fall 2008, when the division was officially shut down.

This led to a lackluster slate and output, after a successful initial run under Gill. In February 2008, Time Warner announced that it would merge New Line ...
