Alan Goda's Los Angeles-based finance, production and distribution outfit FilmMates Entertainment is hitting the Croisette for the first time with 10 titles that feature the likes of Susan Sarandon, Jeremy Irons, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Shirley MacClaine.

The company plans to finance, produce and release eight to 10 pictures a year budgeted at up to $30m, and holds all rights on all its titles.

FilmMates executive vice president of production and distribution Jeanette Buerling will commence sales on the titles at Cannes, seven of which are expected to go into production by autumn this year and are:

Tent Hill Road, an action-adventure starring Jeremy Irons and Simon Baker to be directed by Bruce Beresford.

Good Sharma, a comedy-drama based on a true story, starring Susan Sarandon and to be directed by Suri Krishnamma.

Finders Keepers, a fast-paced romantic comedy starring Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Sister Eileen, a comedy starring Shirley MacClaine and rapper Bow Wow to be directed by Mark Rydell.

The Girls, a sexy comedy starring Paris Hilton, who is scheduled for a Cannes appearance.

Asphalt, a thriller starring Thomas Kretschmann, Stephen Dorff and Juergen Prochnow, and Fort McCoy, a second world war period drama starring Aidan Quinn, Jeremy Piven and Thora Birch, directed by Paul Quinn.

The three completed titles are:

Aunt Agatha's Apartment, a screwball comedy set in New York starring Melissa Joan Hart, Carmen Electra and Ryan Browning, directed by David Eric Brenner.

Young Sherlock, a thriller starring James D'Arcy, Vincent D'Onofrio and Gabrielle Anwar, directed by Graham Theakston, and Living Life, 17-year old writer-director Jesse HarrisÕs debut.

FilmMates launched in 2001 as a fund to acquire projects from young filmmakers and has evolved into a vertically integrated entertainment company.

Always a wonderful thing to hear about Jennifer getting more work. It means mo money for her, more chances to show the world she is as great as we here all know her to be, more premieres to go to which also means more pictures of her for us to see. There's one man's opinion on Jennifer Love Hewitt getting work. Until next time I am out!

Interesting, thanks for the info! :D I would love to see her in a new romantic comedy.

Hey!! Cool!
Thanks.. ;)

But this could be just one more publicized
non-project that dies on the vine...

There have been MANY JLH would-be films that
never were made.

I even heard that "Devil and Daniel Webster"
would be released next year...but I'll believe
it when I see it!

JenniferNoble · 05-11-2005, 04:07 PM

gee PLEASE dont be so positive youre scares me [img]graemlins/wacked.gif[/img] !

05-11-2005, 07:35 PM

This sounds like it could be hilarious! if shes paired a 2 other nice costars (kinda like 2 girls fall for a guy and fight for ways to win him over througout the movie)

This could be cool..

Interesting, hopefully we'll be able to see it.

With no guarantee that her potential new TV series will get picked up, I'm glad that she's still getting offered big screen roles. Plus, the chances of this upcoming movie getting released in the U.S. and hopefully many other countries sounds very good.

A romantic comedy really suits her well, so I'm sure she's going to do great.
