'Love' survives

"The Truth About Love" will be told after all. The romantic comedy, directed by John Hay and starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and Dougray Scott, is set to shoot April 11, having spent several weeks on the brink of collapse.

It lost a third of its budget Feb. 10 in the U.K.'s tax clampdown, but producer Tracey Adam has now secured backing from Baker Street Media and the U.K. Film Council's New Cinema Fund to rescue the project.

She slashed the cost from $8.5 million to $7 million, cutting a week off the schedule and persuading her entire cast and crew to defer some of their fees.

Lakeshore Intl. is handling foreign sales, with Redbus releasing the film in Britain. Co-financiers include Piccadilly Pictures and Bank of Ireland. Co-producer is Christopher Figg, exec producers are Jeremy Bolt, Ivan Mactaggart and Bill Allan.

awesome
thanks TC

Cool. I hope the decreased financing doesn't threaten the project's final product though. That sure is a tiny budget.

Good 2 Hear Thanx Tc...

That's great news,thanks a lot TC!.

This is a little scary. "TD&DW" won't be seen, "If Only" is still in limbo, and now this movie is having budget problems before filming starts. I hope with this and the TV show, the supposed action film is off.

Thanks for the good news TC [img]smile.gif[/img]

Glad to hear that the movie's being made. But what's going to happen to her tv show? Isn't that supposed to be filming now/soon? Will that be put on hiatus?

I do hope that it gets a release, and that it's good. It may get a short cinema release over here with Dougray being the male lead, but we'll have to wait and see what happens sadly.

This is just BRILLIANT..... :D

LOVE YOUNG GIFTED & GORGEOUS

Nothing will happen with the tv show. She'll shoot the pilot and if it goes well and the show gets picked up by ABC for the fall schedule production probably won't start until August on shows for the new season. That's when most shows starting shooting new episodes. I don't think her other movie, "Run" was dependent on anything else either. This film I don't think will shoot beyond 6 or 7 weeks, so she should have June (after doing the Garfield promotion), July and most of August to film that as well.

Thars so cool! Thankz
