In 1986, DEG acquired rights to 78 different motion pictures from Dino De Laurentiis Productions, Inc. (aka Starling Productions, Inc.). As of the commencement of the bankruptcy case on August 16, 1988, DEG retained domestic rights to approximately 300 titles, including the Embassy library and the Starling library. As part of its Plan of reorganization, DEG merged with a newly-created subsidiary of Carolco Pictures, DEG Acquisition Corp., to create a corporation called "Reorganized DEG." DEG's development projects were part of the assets acquired by Reorganized DEG in the merger. DAC was renamed Carolco Studios Inc. (Delaware) f/k/a Carolco Television Inc., owned the North Carolina studio and a development library of approximately 100 projects. In 1997 as a part of the Plan of reorganization of Carolco, all assets not previously sold were transferred to The Carolco Liquidating Trust. In 2003, remaining unsold assets of The Carolco Liquidating Trust were transferred to LIM Miller, LLC, which later became Lloyd Ivan Miller Productions, LLC., and which does business as Carolco Films. Carolco Films has limited information on the development projects in which it controls rights, including general information regarding costs expended by Embassy/DEG.
