The Hanford September 6, 1997 EN ENTERTAINMENT More than one dream studio in the works LOS ANGELES (AP) DreamWorks gets almost all the attention, but there's another major new Hollywood movie company debuting this month and it's beating Dream Works to theaters. "The Game," the first movie released by PolyGram Films, arrives in theaters Sept. 12, a full two weeks before the premiere of Dream Works' debut film, "The Peacemaker," a drama with George Clooney and Nicole Kidman looking for a nuclear weapon. Pairing Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, "The Game" is a $70 million thriller about a bored millionaire whose life is turned upside down by a bizarre birthday gift from his agitated brother. Both Dream Works and PolyGram are coming into the market at a time when new movie companies are performing about as well as the Mir space station.

Hollywood's bankruptcy files are filled with startup production and distribution companies that tried and failed to challenge the seven major studios. Among the most recent washouts were Savoy Pictures Big, Steal and the Weintraub Entertainment Group Beverly "It's not going to be easy for them," says Hal Vogel, an entertainment industry analyst with Cowen and Co. "But they have approached this cautiously. 'The from what I hear, is a good movie. But you can't build a distribution entity on a single film.

You need a constant stream of product and a lot of capital." PolyGram Films is a part of PolyGram Filmed Entertainment, in turn a part of Holland's sprawling entertainment conglomerate PolyGram NV. PolyGram and its sister companies have produced or distributed such movies as "Jumanji," "Sleepers," "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Mr. Holland's Opus." Gramercy Pictures, part of the PolyGram family, specializes in art films; PolyGram Films will focus on star-driven concept films hoping to distribute up to 12 a year by 1998. "The Game' is the type of movie Rembrandt etching gets first showing WASHINGTON (AP) On one side of the copper plate a painter did a quiet landscape 300 years ago. On the other side, a British expert discovered, was a unique etching by Rembrandt, signed and dated 1656.

The National Gallery of Art announced Friday that its Patrons' Permanent Fund had bought the plate with the help of an anonymous donor. Bidding at Christie's art auction house in London reached about $338,000. It will go on show for the first time Nov. 16. "It's never been re-etched like SO many of Rembrandt's plates," said Andrew Robison, senior curator at the gallery.

"It's like looking over his shoulder as he worked." An etcher uses sharp instruments to cut fine lines into a metal plate, wipes ink on the plate and prints it on paper. Robison said he could see tiny residues of ink in the grooves and thinks it was. put on by Rembrandt himself. Tests that should tell more will take another few months. The etching, considered one of Rembrandt's finest, tells the story from Genesis about the angels God sent to the aged Abraham to tell him that 1 he would have a son by his wife Sarah.

Abraham wondered if a man of 100 and a wife of 90 could have a child. It shows three angels sitting with Abraham around a pan of bread. One is holding a glass and Abraham, a pitcher. Behind them Ishmael, his son by the handmaid Hagar, plays with a bow and arrow. He is "unconcerned about his terrible future," said the gallery's statement.

At Sarah's insistence, Abraham sent Hagar and her son to wander in the wilderness. Sarah peers at the scene from the darkness of a doorway. The plate came into the hands of a painter of the late 1600s, perhaps Pieter Gysels. In 1946 an anonymous collector bought it: at an antique shop in Yorkshire, northern England, and early in April sent it to Christie's to see what Gysels might be worth. "I removed the frame to look at the back," said Liesbeth Heenk, a Christie's specialist on Rembrandt prints.

"I immediately recognized it as a Rembrandt. The iconography is very characteristic." Comedy writer Hal Goodman dies LOS ANGELES (AP) Hal Goodman, an award-winning comedy writer who wrote monologues for Johnny Carson, Flip Wilson, Jack Benny and a young Bob Hope, has died at his Los Angeles home. He was 82. The cause of Goodman's death Wednesday was not disclosed. Along with longtime partner Larry Klein, Goodman was nominated for eight Emmys and won twice for episodes of "The Jack Benny Show" in 1959 and "The Flip Wilson Show" in 1971.

He met Carson in 1953 when the future host of "The Tonight Show" first arrived in Los Angeles. by then was a veteran Hope worked with Milton Berle, Sinatra, Steve Allen, Imogene Carol Burnett, Jackie David Letterman and others.

"PolyGram Films was designed to compete with the major distributors, effectively competing on the same plane as the Warners, Disneys and Sonys of the world," he said. "What makes PolyGram better suited for this (than the failed upstarts)? It's a part of a $6-billion-a-year company. So obviously the financial resources are incredibly broad," said Graves. The PolyGram Films slate includes "The Gingerbread Man," a Robert Altman courtroom drama from original John Grisham screenplay; "'What Dreams May Come," starring Robin Williams in a science fiction story; "The Borrowers," adapted from the Mary Norton children's books; "Barney's Great Adventure," a movie about the purple dinosaur; and "The Best Man," a wedding comedy starring Nathan Lane.

Early buzz on "The Game" is mostly positive. Audiences appear to be fascinated by the premise.

"The film will hold audiences on the edge of their seats for roughly two hours, before putting audiences to sleep at the end. This is a major disappointment considering the final impact director David Fincher's last film 'Seven' had on audiences." Reel Source predicts "The Game" will be badly hurt by "The PolyGram's second release, "The Gingerbread Man," stars Kenneth Branagh, Daryl Hannah, Robert Downey Robert Duvall and newcomer Embeth Davidtz.
