National Lampoon, Inc. has acquired AllModelZone.com from Alle Von Technologies, LLC for an undisclosed sum.

AllModelZone.com, launched in 2002, is a social network for people involved in the modeling industry and allows users to communicate and find work via profiles, forums and photo galleries, among other features. AllModelZone user accounts are free, but a paid, premium version is offered to unlock more advanced features.

“AllModelZone is among the top modeling sites online. In addition to improving upon the monetization of the site’s traffic via our ad sales infrastructure, we see tremendous upside in expanding the user base, both free and paid, and in using the site to cast roles in our feature films and other projects,” said National Lampoon Chief Executive Officer Daniel Laikin. “To that end, we are excited to kick off this new era for the site, using it to cast a role for our upcoming film, ‘National Lampoon’s Legend of Awesomest Maximus.’ Details will be available on the site shortly.”
