This Film is with Samuel L. Jackson (signed with deposit), Heather Graham, Dianne Wiest, and Abigail Breslin (deposit) attached with Harold Becker to direct (Taps, Sea of Love, Malice, City Hall, and Domestic Disturbance), based on a novel written by Award-winning novelist Joyce Carol Oates. The direct budget is $17.5 million (exclusive of interest charges and finance fees) and is currently scheduled to shoot summer, 2010.We already have a senior bank co-financing in first position with us, so the additional total equity investment required on this film is $10 mil dollars net. We believe it has Academy Award potential with “A” talent and director attached and Major studio interest. 

The film is a fast-paced story about an act of unbelievable brutality that twists the lives of three generations of women and sets a man of the law on his own course of justice. On the Fourth of July, Niagara Falls Police Officer John Dromoor (Jackson) is flagged down by 12-year-old Bethie Maguire (Breslin). Her mother, Teena Maguire (Graham), has been brutally raped and left for dead, nursed back to health by her mother (Wiest), but then violated by the justice system. Moving at a relentless, compelling pace, the story of Teena and Bethie unfolds into a powerful vigilante cop thriller.
