Statement in Response to Press Release Issued Today by Master Sgt. Jeffrey S. Sarver via his Attorney Geoffrey Fieger

LOS ANGELES, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the press release issued today by Master Sgt. Jeffrey S. Sarver, Summit Entertainment, who acted solely as the U.S. distributor of the feature film THE HURT LOCKER, would like to communicate the following:

"Ever since Summit acquired the distribution rights to the finished feature film THE HURT LOCKER during the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival we have been proud to showcase the film to audiences in the U.S. The film is a story about heroes depicting a fictional account of what brave men and women do on the battlefield. We have no doubt that Master Sgt. Sarver served his country with honor and commitment risking his life for a greater good, but we distributed the film based on a fictional screenplay written by Mark Boal. We hope for a quick resolution to the claims made by Master Sgt. Sarver."
