Emmett/Furla Films and Millennium Films Re-Up Ten Picture Agreement
LOS ANGELES, CA -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 02/27/2003 -- Emmett/Furla Films Productions Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Family Room Entertainment Corporation (OTC BB: FMLY), is pleased to announce that Millennium Films has re-up-ed its ten picture non-exclusive international distribution arrangement with Millennium Films for an additional ten pictures.
Most recently, Emmett/Furla Films announced their tenth picture in this arrangement, “Belly of the Beast,” starring Steven Seagal. “Belly of the Beast” starts filming in Thailand next month. “Belly of the Beast” will be produced by Luminosity Media’s Steven Seagal, who is also starring in the Picture. Emmett/Furla Films’ Randall Emmett and George Furla will executive produce the picture. Phillip Goldfine will serve as co-executive producer. Millennium’s Danny Dimbort, Avi Lerner and Trevor Short will serve as executive producers on the picture.
Randall Emmett and George Furla said: “The ten pictures we have already produced under this agreement serve to illustrate the aggressive nature of our relationship. Avi Lerner and the team at Millennium Films have made Millennium Films an easy home for our aggressive slate of pictures. We also intend to continue to equity finance pictures as a part of our aggressive plan to get pictures into production. Emmett/Furla Films will continue to produce between seven to nine pictures per year.”
In addition, Emmett/Furla Films executive produced “Narc,” which Paramount Pictures released early this year. The picture was written and directed by Joe Carnahan (“Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane”). “Narc” has also been nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards.
Emmett and Furla also served as executive producers on “Half Past Dead,” starring Steven Seagal, which was released through Screen Gems Pictures in November 2001.
Emmett/Furla Films is currently in post-production on “Blind Horizon,” starring Val Kilmer, Neve Campbell and Sam Shepard. Also in post-production is “Wonderland,” which stars Val Kilmer, Josh Lucas, Kate Bosworth, Lisa Kudrow and Christina Applegate. ”Wonderland,” which is being released by Lion Gate Films, was directed by James Cox from a script by Todd Samovitz, D. Loriston Scott, Captain Mauzer and James Cox. The picture was executive produced by Randall Emmett and George Furla and produced by Holly Weirsma.
Family Room Entertainment Corporation, with its subsidiaries, Emmett/Furla Films Productions, Emmett/Furla Films Distribution and EFF Independent, is a publicly held company trading on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board under the symbol “FMLY.” Family Room Entertainment develops, produces and performs production-related services for the entertainment industry. Family Room Entertainment’s aim is to create and produce high-quality motion pictures with high-profile talent that can be distributed to a worldwide audience. FMLY derives its income from producer fees, consulting and service fees, as well as its participation in the profits of the various pictures it produces.
The FMLY co-founders, Randall Emmett and George Furla, believe that they have the expertise and contacts within the entertainment industry, specifically in the competitive production and distribution arenas, to profitably acquire content, package product by adding value to the content with top-quality talent and produce motion pictures that are in the moderate- to higher-level budgets, which can be distributed to a mass worldwide audience. However, there is no assurance that any motion picture, which has not yet been released, will be released, that a change in the scheduled release dates of any such films will not occur or, if such motion picture is released, it will be successful.
