Lionsgate May 17 said it signed a long-term distribution deal with Nordisk Film, the studio behind original Swedish blockbusters The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest.

Under the deal — finalized at the Cannes Film Festival — Lionsgate extends an existing deal between Summit Entertainment and Nordisk to now include the entire Lionsgate feature film slate for theatrical and home entertainment distribution in Scandinavia.

The upcoming Lionsgate/Summit slate includes Lionsgate’s Catching Fire, the next installment in “The Hunger Games” blockbuster franchise; Sam Raimi’s The Possession; The Last Stand, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger; and the new Dirty Dancing film; as well as Summit’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, the fifth installment in a franchise that has already grossed more than $2.5 billion worldwide; Step Up Revolution; The Impossible; Red 2; Now You See Me; and The Tomb, pairing Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.

“The recent merger of Lionsgate and Summit allows us to bring a dramatically expanded portfolio of product to our distribution partners around the world and enables us to achieve significant economies of scale and an even higher level of consistency and predictability in our global business,” Lionsgate motion picture group co-chairs Patrick Wachsberger and Rob Friedman said in a statement.

The deputies under scrutiny have all worked on the Gang Enforcement Team, a unit divided into two platoons of relatively autonomous deputies who target neighborhoods where gang violence is high, locate armed gang members and take their guns away.

Investigators are looking at whether the deputies sported matching tattoos. The suspected design of the tattoo was obtained by The Times and confirmed by two sources. It includes an oversize skull with a wide, toothy grimace and glowing red eyes. A bandanna is wrapped around the skull, imprinted with the letters “OSS” — representing Operation Safe Streets, the name of the larger unit that the Gang Enforcement Team is part of. A bony hand clasps a revolver. Investigators suspect that smoke might be tattooed over the gun’s barrel after a member is involved in a shooting.

One source compared the notion of modifying the tattoo after a shooting to a celebratory “high five.”

Despite the disturbing allegations, sources say there is currently no evidence that the men were involved in improper shootings or other misconduct. Still, the revelations have heightened concerns. What investigators are most worried about isn’t the alleged tattoos, but the suspected admiration they show for officer-involved shootings, which are expected to be events of last resort.

The department has long grappled with unsanctioned cliques inside its ranks. Last year, the department fired half a dozen deputies who worked on the third, or “3000,” floor of Men’s Central Jail after the group fought two fellow deputies at an employee Christmas party and allegedly punched a female deputy in the face.

Sheriff’s officials later said the men had formed an aggressive “3000″ clique that used gang-like three-finger hand signs. A former top jail commander told The Times that jailers would “earn their ink” by assaulting inmates. This week, two former jail supervisors told a county commission created to examine jail abuse about troubling deputy behavior.

One said jailers ignored orders from direct supervisors, preferring instead to listen to rank-and-file deputies who had worked at the
