| Source: AeroGrow International, Inc.
BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire - December 20, 2007) - AeroGrow International, Inc. (NASDAQ : AERO )
("AeroGrow" or the "Company"), makers of the AeroGarden® line of indoor
gardening products, announced that the AeroGarden is prominently shown in
multiple scenes in the post-apocalyptic hit movie "I Am Legend" starring
two-time Oscar nominee, Will Smith. The appearance was unsolicited.
"I Am Legend," distributed by Warner Bros.®, opened nationwide on
December 14, 2007 and brought in more than $76.5 million its opening
weekend to capture first place in the weekend box-office rankings.
"Appearing in such a major movie is another indication of the AeroGarden's
growing acceptance into the mainstream consciousness," said Michael
Bissonnette, Founder and CEO of AeroGrow. "It's been rewarding to launch a
new product category and watch as it becomes integrated into society, from
the first early-adopters through more common household adoption of
AeroGrow's products." With a smile, Bissonnette added, "In the movie,
pretty much the only things left on earth are Will Smith, his dog and his
AeroGarden."
