Dear Colleague,
We are excited to participate in the upcoming 2005 MIP-TV and look
forward to bringing you some of the best in entertainment.
We are proud to announce the feature film ROAD HOUSE 2: LAST CALL,
written by Miles Chapman, directed by Richard Wenk, in association with
MGM. This action/drama is currently in pre-production. We are in
negotiations with Treat Williams ( Miss Congeniality 2 , WBs Everwood )
to play Nate, the brother of bouncer Dalton who was played by Patrick
Swayze in the original Road House . For the action star role of Shane,
the nephew of Nate, we are in negotiations with several young talented
actors to cast in the lead; Ian Somerhalder (ABCs Lost ), Desmond
Harrington ( Wrong Turn ), or Matthew Davis ( Legally Blonde ) will star
in the film. This great action film follows Shane as he battles thugs to
try to regain control of his Uncle Nates legendary bayou bar, The Black
Pelican.
TRESPASSSING , starring the breathtaking Estella Warren ( Planet of the
Apes ) and Daniel Gillies ( Spiderman 2 ) is a gripping thriller you
wont soon forget. The film follows a group of college students as they
explore a hunted house in the swamps of Louisiana. Is it just a myth, or
are people really destined to meet a grisly death if they dare to enter?
This film is completed and was released theatrically in the U.S. by
Screen Media.
THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA , a feature length animated film, is great for
the whole family. This classic story, inspired by the Hans Christian
Andersen fairy tale, features studio quality animation. Its an exciting
adventure that children of all ages will love to watch.
FEATURE FILMS FOR FAMILIES
We have a great library of family films, both animated and live action.
Titles include:
TINY HEROES
THE SEVENTH BROTHER
RIGOLETTO
SEASONS OF THE HEART
BEHIND THE WATERFALL
SPLIT INFINITY
IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS
and many more.
