Exhibit 10.57

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     This Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”) by and between Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (“Lions Gate”) and Jon Feltheimer (“Feltheimer”) is entered into as of December 15, 2008 with effect as of September 20, 2006 (the “Effective Date”). The employment agreement entered into as of September 20, 2006 between Feltheimer and Lions Gate, as subsequently amended (the “Prior Agreement”), is hereby amended and restated in its entirety.

     The parties hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Employment . Lions Gate hereby employs Feltheimer to serve in the capacity of Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and a member of Lions Gate’s board of directors (the “Board”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Feltheimer shall have such powers and authority with respect to the management of Lions Gate consistent with his position hereunder as shall be determined by the Board. All employees of Lions Gate, its divisions and subsidiaries shall report to Feltheimer and he shall have hiring and firing authority over same; provided, however, that subject to prior good faith consultation with Feltheimer, the Board shall have the right to instruct Feltheimer to terminate any such employee with respect to whom it believes in good faith it has “cause” (as defined in Section 14(a)(iii) below) and may thereafter terminate such employee if Feltheimer elects not to do so. Feltheimer shall be responsible to and report solely to the Board.

     2.  Term . Feltheimer’s employment term under this Agreement shall commence on September 20, 2006 and continue through and including March 31, 2014 (the “Term”).

     3.  Base Salary . From the Effective Date through March 31, 2007, Lions Gate shall pay Feltheimer an annual fixed salary of US$850,000, payable in equal installments in accordance with Lions Gate’s standard payroll practices. Commencing on April 1, 2007, and continuing through the end of the Term, Lions Gate shall pay Feltheimer an annual fixed salary of US$1,200,000 payable in equal installments in accordance with Lions Gate’s standard payroll practices (the “Base Salary”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on October 8, 2011 (the “Amendment Date”) and on each anniversary of the Amendment Date during the remaining portion of the Term, the Base Salary for the next twelve (12) months shall be increased in the same proportion as the proportional difference between the “Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners All Items (Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, CA),” published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (the “CPI”) in effect on March 1 of the preceding year and the CPI in effect as of the Amendment Date and as of each successive anniversary of the Amendment Date during the Term.

     4.  Discretionary Annual Bonus . During the Term, Feltheimer shall be eligible to receive a discretionary annual bonus (the “Discretionary Bonus”) based on Lions Gate’s fiscal year in an amount to be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Lions Gate’s Compensation Committee, using the following criteria (with no emphasis to be derived from the order in which they appear) to arrive at their decision: EBITDA; revenue and bottom line

performance; Lions Gate’s ability to pay such bonus; earnings; free cash-flow levels; debt reduction; and share price increase. For the fiscal year beginning on April 1, 2007, Lions Gate will also, in addition to the foregoing criteria, be guided, informally, by a formula of 100% of base salary, if annual targets are met, but the Compensation Committee will also consider other criteria, such as transformative transactions completed by the Company. The Discretionary Bonus, if any, shall be payable in a timely manner, but in any event when bonuses, if any, are generally given to Lions Gate’s other senior-level employees and in no event later than June 15 of each year during the Term, and, in addition, June 15 of 2014 (for bonus amounts based on the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014).

     4A. Life and Disability Insurance . During the Term, Lions Gate shall provide Feltheimer with life and disability insurance policies providing Feltheimer (or his estate, as applicable) with US$2,000,000 in benefits.

     5.  Stock Price Bonus . If, during the Term, the volume-weighted average of the median (between the high and low of each trading day) daily Company stock price is not less than US$13.00 per share for a period of six (6) consecutive months, then Lions Gate shall pay Feltheimer a one time bonus (in addition to any other compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement) in the sum of US$750,000 (the “Stock Price Bonus ”) within five (5) business days following the satisfaction of the preceding condition.

     In addition, if during the Term the volume-weighted average of the median (between the high and low of each trading day) daily Company stock price is not less than US$16.00 per share for a period of six (6) consecutive months, then Lions Gate shall pay Feltheimer a one time additional Stock Price Bonus of US$750,000 within five (5) business days following the satisfaction of the preceding condition.

     In addition, if during the Term the volume-weighted average of the median (between the high and low of each trading day) daily Company stock price is not less than US$19.00 per share for a period of six (6) consecutive months, then Lions Gate shall pay Feltheimer a one time additional Stock Price Bonus of US$750,000 within five (5) business days following the satisfaction of the preceding condition.

     For the avoidance of doubt, Feltheimer shall not be entitled to receive the Stock Price Bonus at any specified target more than one time and the maximum aggregate bonus that could be payable to Feltheimer under any scenario pursuant to this Section 5 is US$2,250,000; provided further that a single rise in stock price can trigger all three Stock Price Bonuses.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on or before the time a Stock Price Bonus(es) becomes payable an applicable bank has declared Lions Gate to be in material default of any of its bank covenants, and such default is directly attributable to Feltheimer’s negligent disregard of any such covenants (of which he has received notice) or his negligent supervision of any of his direct reports, Feltheimer shall not be entitled to such Stock Price Bonus(es); provided, however, the foregoing shall be subject to mandatory binding arbitration as set forth in Section 21(f) below should Feltheimer dispute Lions Gate’s position with respect thereto.

     6.  Restricted Stock Units .

          (a) Grant of Restricted Stock Units . Provided that Feltheimer’s employment hereunder has not previously been terminated for cause (as defined herein), death, or disability (as defined herein) and subject to regulatory approval, if required, Feltheimer shall be granted a total of 640,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) according to the following schedule: (i) 320,000 time vesting RSUs shall be granted promptly following the Effective Date (the “Time Vesting RSUs”); (ii) 320,000 performance vesting RSUs shall be granted in four (4) annual grants (one-fourth for each year) on April 1, 2007, April 1, 2008, April 1, 2009, and April 1, 2010 (the “Performance Vesting RSUs”). Such RSUs shall be payable upon vesting in an equal number of common shares of Lions Gate. The foregoing RSUs shall be in addition to any equity interest (whether options, warrants or otherwise) granted to Feltheimer, previously or otherwise, pursuant to any employment agreement or otherwise (collectively, the “Pre-existing Equity”).

          (b) Date of Vesting . Subject to Feltheimer’s continued employment hereunder through the relevant vesting date, the RSUs shall vest as follows:

               (i) The Time Vesting RSUs (320,000 RSUs) shall vest in four (4) equal annual installments with the first such installment vesting on September 20, 2007, and the last vesting on September 20, 2010.

               (ii) The Performance Vesting RSUs shall be eligible to vest on an annual schedule with the first grant being eligible to vest on March 31, 2008, the second on March 31, 2009, the third on March 31, 2010, and the fourth on March 31, 2011 (each, a “Performance Vesting Date”); provided, however, that the vesting of the RSUs on each such Performance Vesting Date shall be subject to satisfaction of annual Company performance targets approved in advance by the Compensation Committee for the twelve (12) month period ending on such Performance Vesting Date. The RSUs provided for by this Section 6(b)(ii) shall vest on a sliding scale basis if the Company performance targets have not been fully met for a particular year. For purposes of example only, if seventy five (75) percent of Company targets have been met for a particular year, seventy five (75) percent of the grant for that year would vest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that any or all of the RSUs scheduled to vest on any such Performance Vesting Date shall be deemed vested as of such date even if the applicable performance targets are not met. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that any RSUs scheduled to vest on any such Performance Vesting Date that do not vest because the applicable performance targets are not met may vest on any future Performance Vesting Date if the performance targets applicable to such future Performance Vesting Date are exceeded.

          (c) Acceleration of Vesting : If the vesting of the RSUs are accelerated pursuant to Section 9(b) or Section 14(c)(iii) below, then the foregoing requirement that Feltheimer be an employee shall not apply with respect to any of the foregoing vesting dates.

          (d) Failure to Obtain Shareholder or Regulatory Approval : If shareholder or regulatory approval of the grant of the RSUs is necessary and Lions Gate is unable to obtain such approval for all or any portion of the RSUs, then Feltheimer shall be entitled to alternative commensurate compensation, the details of which shall be negotiated in good faith.

          (e) Acceleration of Vesting Upon Death . In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14(a)(i) below, all RSUs and Options granted to Feltheimer pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent outstanding and unvested, will immediately accelerate and become fully vested as of the date of death.

          (f) Second Grant of Restricted Stock Units . Provided that Feltheimer’s employment hereunder has not previously been terminated for cause (as defined herein), death, or disability (as defined herein) and subject to regulatory approval, if required, Feltheimer shall be granted, on or about October 8, 2008, a total of 916,071 Restricted Stock Units (“Second RSUs”) according to the following schedule: (i) 458,036 time vesting Second RSUs (the “Second Time Vesting RSUs”); (ii) 458,035 performance vesting Second RSUs (the “Second Performance Vesting RSUs”). Such Second RSUs shall be payable upon vesting in an equal number of common shares to Lions Gate. The foregoing Second RSUs shall be in addition to any Pre-existing Equity.

          (g) Date of Vesting . Subject to Feltheimer’s continued employment hereunder through the relevant vesting date, the Second RSUs shall vest as follows:

               (i) The Second Time Vesting RSUs (458,036 RSUs) shall vest in three (3) equal annual installments with the first such installment vesting on March 31, 2012, and the last vesting on March 31, 2014;

               (ii) The Second Performance Vesting RSUs (458,035 RSUs) shall be eligible to vest in three (3) equal annual installments with the first installment being eligible to vest on March 31, 2012, the second on March 31, 2013, and the third on March 31, 2014 (each, a “Second Performance Vesting Date”); provided, however, that the vesting of the Second RSUs on each such Second Performance Vesting Date shall be subject to annual Company performance targets approved in advance by the Compensation Committee for the twelve (12) month period ending on such Second Performance Vesting Date. The Second Performance Vesting RSUs provided for by this Section 6(g)(ii) shall vest on a sliding scale basis if the Company performance targets have not been fully met for a particular year. For purposes of example only, if seventy five (75) percent of Company targets have been met for a particular year, seventy five (75) percent of the Second Performance Vesting RSUs eligible to vest for that year would vest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that any or all of the Second Performance Vesting RSUs scheduled to vest on any such Second Performance Vesting Date shall be deemed vested as of such date even if the applicable performance targets are not met. Furthermore, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that any Second RSUs scheduled to vest on any such Second Performance Vesting Date that do not vest because the applicable performance targets are not met may vest on any future Second Performance Vesting Date if the performance targets applicable to such Second Performance Vesting Date are exceeded.

          (h) Any and all references to RSUs in Sections 6(c), 6(d), 6(e), 7(a), 10 and 14(b)(iii) of the Agreement shall include the Second RSUs set forth above, unless the context requires otherwise. Any and all references to the Time Vesting RSUs in Sections 9(b)(i) and 14(c)(iii) of the Agreement shall include the Second Time Vesting RSUs, unless the context requires otherwise. Any and all references to the Performance Vesting RSUs in Sections 9(b)(ii)

and 14(c)(iii) of the Agreement shall include the Second Performance Vesting RSUs, unless the context requires otherwise. Any and all references to the Performance Vesting Date in Sections 9(b)(ii) and 14(c)(iii) of the Agreement shall include the Second Performance Vesting Date, unless the context requires otherwise.

          (i) Quarterly Grant . Subject to Feltheimer’s continued employment hereunder through the relevant grant date and subject to regulatory approval, if required, on the first day following each three (3) month anniversary of October 8, 2008 that occurs during the Term (each, a “grant date”), Feltheimer shall be issued a number of the Company’s common shares equivalent to TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000.00), calculated using the closing price (in regular trading) of the Company’s common shares on the last trading day immediately prior to the respective grant date (each a “Quarterly Grant”) and subject in each case to applicable tax withholding. Each Quarterly Grant shall be fully vested upon grant, and the shares subject to such Quarterly Grant shall be issued not more than five (5) business days after the applicable grant date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Feltheimer’s continued employment hereunder through March 31, 2014 and subject to regulatory approval, if required, on March 31, 2014 Feltheimer shall receive a pro-rata portion of a Quarterly Grant for the period ending on March 31, 2014 based on the period of time elapsed since the immediately preceding Quarterly Grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 14(a)(iv) or 14(b), the Quarterly Grants shall continue to be granted on each quarterly grant date through the prorated grant scheduled to be made on March 31, 2014, and no further Quarterly Grants shall be made after that date. For the sake of clarity, notwithstanding Section 6(e), any future Quarterly Grants shall be forfeited in the event that this Agreement, and Feltheimer’s employment hereunder, is terminated pursuant to Section 14(a)(i), 14(a)(ii) or 14(a)(iii). Additionally for the sake of clarity, any and all references to RSUs in Sections 6(c) and 6(e) of the Agreement shall not include any Quarterly Grant. If shareholder or regulatory approval of any Quarterly Grant is necessary and Lions Gate is unable to obtain such approval for all or any portion of a Quarterly Grant, then Feltheimer shall be entitled to alternative commensurate compensation, the details of which shall be negotiated in good faith.

     7.  Options .

          (a) Grant of Options . Provided that Feltheimer’s employment hereunder has not been terminated for cause (as defined herein), death or disability (as defined herein), and subject to shareholder approval thereof (which Lions Gate acknowledges has been received to the extent required) and regulatory approval, if required, on or about the Effective Date Feltheimer shall be granted an option to purchase 1,050,000 shares of Lions Gate stock (the “Options”) at a per-share exercise price equal to the closing price of a Lions Gate common share on the date the Options are granted. The foregoing Options shall be in addition to any Pre-existing Equity as well as the RSU grants provided for in this Agreement.

Section 9(b) or Section 14(c)(iii) below, then the foregoing requirement that Feltheimer be an employee shall not apply with respect to any of the foregoing vesting dates.

          (c) Offset; Favored Nations . Lions Gate agrees that the Options shall be provided under the most favorable circumstances allowed for senior executives under the plan governing such options. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Pre-existing Equity shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement(s) pursuant to which it was originally granted.

          (d) Failure to Obtain Shareholder or Regulatory Approval . If Lions Gate’s shareholders fail to approve Company’s grant of the Options (in this regard, Lions Gate acknowledges that plan approval has already been obtained), or if regulatory approval of the grant of the Options is necessary and Lions Gate is unable to obtain such approval for all or any portion of the Options, then Feltheimer shall be entitled to alternative commensurate compensation, the details of which shall be negotiated in good faith.

     8.  Stock Appreciation Rights . Pursuant to the Prior Agreement, Feltheimer and the Company agreed to the cancellation of the 375,000 stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) which were granted to Feltheimer pursuant to his December 11, 2001 Agreement.
