Rex Motion Picture Company
Rex Motion Picture Company was an early film production company in the United States. Edwin S. Porter was one of Rex's founders after his short lived Defender Film Company failed. Rex produced dozens of films from 1910 into 1917.[1] Rex was one of the studios that combined to form Universal Pictures under Carl Laemmle's leadership.
The company was established by Porter, Joseph Engel, and William Swanson.[2] It adopted a throne emblem.
Lois Weber established herself in the film industry at Rex.
Rex acquired Gem Motion Picture Company film properties and released them in 1912 under its own banner and later Universal's.
