Exclusive: We can tell you that James Franco and Oscar winner Tommy Lee Jones are leading the action thriller The Razor’s Edge from producer Corey Large and filmmaker Demian Lichtenstein (3000 Miles to Graceland).
Red Sea Media is handling international sales and will debut the film for buyers at the upcoming Marche du Film in Cannes. Cameras roll June 25 in Georgia.
Lichenstein is helming off a screenplay he wrote with Vance Duplechin. After a mob hitman vows to leave his deadly past behind, he faces an impossible choice when his daughter is kidnapped and the woman he loves becomes a target of the syndicate. He is forced to undertake one final, perilous mission while being pursued by an assassin even more lethal.
Pic is executive produced by Kirk Shaw. BondIt Media Capital is financing with Matthew Helderman, Luke Taylor and Jordan Nott also executive producing.
“I’m excited that we have signed the superbly talented actors James, Suki and Tommy Lee to bring The Razor’s Edge to the big screen. They are perfectly suited to embody the protagonists in director Demian’s script,” said Large. “We cannot wait to begin filming this taut thriller next month with an assist from our seasoned executive producer Kirk,” he added.
“We’ve worked with Corey on over a dozen projects throughout the years and always appreciate his ability to get projects made in many different industry climates. We’re excited for another adventure here with Corey and his team,” commented Bond It Capital co-founder CEO Matthew Helderman.
Large is producing through his 308 Enterprises. His other feature production, Assassination directed by Rain Man Oscar winner Barry Levinson and starring Academy Award-winner Al Pacino and BAFTA winning Shia Labeouf is shooting this fall.
Franco was Oscar nominated for Best Actor for 127 Hours and is a 2x Golden Globe winner for James Dean, in which he played the title role, and took home Best Actor in Miniseries, and for The Disaster Artist which he won Best Actor Feature Comedy/Musical. He starred in Sony’s original Spider-Man trilogy from Sam Rami.
Oscar, Emmy, SAG, Golden Globe, and Palme d’Or winner Jones counts an Oscar and Golden Globe supporting actor win for The Fugitive and starred in Sony’s Men in Black trilogy. Jones won a Lead Actor Emmy for NBC’s The Executioners’ Song, and a Cannes Palme D’Or for Best Actor for Sony Pictures Classics’ The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada which he also directed. He also directed The Homesman which starred Hilary Swank.
Franco is represented by UTA and Anonymous Content, Jones is represented by CAA and Jacobson, Russell, Saltz, Nassim & De La Torre.

In Norman Taurog's 1963 film "It Happened at the World's Fair," Elvis Presley plays a crop-duster pilot named Mike whose crop-dusting plane was just repossessed by the local sheriff. While hitchhiking home, wondering how he'll get the money to buy back his plane, Mike comes upon the Seattle World's Fair. There, he instantly becomes smitten with a local nurse named Diane Warren (not to be confused with songwriter Diane Warren) played by Joan O'Brien.
To manufacture a reason to see the Fair's nurse, Mike pulls an 11-year-old boy out of the crowd and offers to pay the kid a quarter in exchange for a really, really hard kick to the shin. The kid is thrilled to have the money and dutifully thwacks the stranger. As Mike limps away, the kid mutters to himself "Adults. They're all nuts." The unnamed character was played by an uncredited Kurt Russell making his feature film debut.

The late 1990s and early 2000s were a weird era for films. There is definitely an influence from Y2K, and it seemed like there was an attitude that anything goes from some and a tightening of the belt from others. The world was in an odd place, and this influenced everything in culture like music, television, and films. 2002 gave us a wide variety of horror, like Queen of the Damned, Fear Dot Com, Cabin Fever, Bubba Ho-Tep, Dog Soldiers, and Bloody Mallory. This was the end of an era and the start of another for David Arquette it seemed. A time when he tested the “leading man” waters. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite go as planned as box office bomb after box office bomb came. Films like Ravenous, Ready to Rumble, 3000 Miles to Graceland, See Spot Run, and The Grey Zone all featured Arquette in some form but...

You know Kurt Russell from "Big Trouble in Little China," "Tombstone," "Stargate," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," and the 1979 TV movie "Elvis." But did you know that he actually got to work with Elvis? He was 10 years old at the time, and the film was 1963's "It Happened at the World's Fair," as we learn in a 2016 interview with GQ. The film had Elvis Presley as a crop-dusting pilot who ends up at the World's Fair. Elvis's character Mike likes a nurse (Joan O'Brien) who isn't interested. He pays Russell's character a little spare change to kick him in the shins, so he has a reason to visit this nurse. Of course, later on, the boy blows Mike's cover by asking if he'd pay to have the kid do it again.
Russell says in the GQ article that he really wasn't familiar with Presley as a rock and roll...

The U.S. District Court judge in the fraud trial against Elie Samaha and his Franchise Pictures has indicated that she will accept the $106 million jury verdict awarded to plaintiffs Intertainment Licensing. Judge Alicemarie Stotler said she is "inclined to approve" the judgment, according to court records of a hearing Friday in Stotler's Santa Ana courtroom. The judge's final ruling could come as soon as this week. Samaha's attorneys are considering an appeal of the June verdict, which found that Samaha defrauded Intertainment by inflating the budgets on such features as Get Carter, The Whole Nine Yards and 3000 Miles to Graceland.

Jaime Pressly, Abraham Benrubi, Florence Henderson, Jon Polito and Paul Ben-Victor round out the cast. The project is under way in Los Angeles and is being produced by Scott Floyd Lochmus and Luis Moro. Lichtenstein (3000 Miles to Graceland) also is producing.

A federal jury returned a $77 million verdict against Elie Samaha's Franchise Pictures on Wednesday, finding that it defrauded Intertainment Licensing by inflating budgets on a slate of feature films including Get Carter, The Whole Nine Yards and 3000 Miles to Graceland. The nine-person jury sitting in Santa Ana, Calif., found the fraud by "clear and convincing evidence," a relatively high threshold of evidence that allows Intertainment to return to court today to ask for further punitive damages. After about 12 hours of deliberation, the jury also found breach of contract but no violation of racketeering statutes. The latter meant Intertainment does not get the $115 million it had asked for -- or an opportunity to ask U.S. District Judge Alicemarie Stotler to treble the damages under terms of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Samaha was not personally held liable for any wrongdoing.

COLOGNE -- German rights group Intertainment on Friday announced that it has delayed publication of its 2003 year-end figures until after the ruling on the company's $100 million suit against Elie Samaha's Franchise Pictures. The suit, currently entering its third week of hearings in Santa Ana, Calif., revolves around a deal signed in 1999 between Intertainment and Franchise in which the German firm agreed to pay a license fee that would cover 47% of Franchise's production costs on a slate of pictures. Intertainment claims Franchise fraudulently inflated the budgets on films made under the deal, which included 3000 Miles to Graceland, The Whole Nine Yards, Battlefield Earth, Driven, Get Carter and The Pledge. The Munich-based group is betting its future on the successful outcome of the suit and on the $100 million in damages it is claiming from Franchise. Samaha took the stand on Thursday to testify that he had a secret oral agreement with Intertainment head Ruediger "Barry" Baeres to inflate movie budgets. Samaha claimed that Intertainment agreed to pay what was needed on any given picture, even if that exceeded the 47% cutoff written into its first-look deal with Franchise (HR 4/30). Samaha will take the stand again when the case resumes on Tuesday. A decision on the suit is expected by June 11.

Kevin Costner was mistaken for a drug dealer when he grew huge sideburns for his latest role. The veteran Hollywood star was forced to grow extreme facial hair for his role as a robber who disguises himself as Elvis in 3000 Miles To Graceland - but the fashion accessory didn't go down well at the school his children attend. He explains, "The only problem it caused was at the kid's school when I showed up and the rest of the parents thought I was some kind of dealer. I would drive my kids to school and go to their sports games and the other kids parents would look at me and go, 'Oh my god'. They thought I'd turned a little bit weird."...

Courteney Cox finds filming sex scenes a huge turn-off. The 36-year-old star has just completed a cinematic romp with Kurt Russell in the new movie 3,000 Miles To Graceland, which co-stars her husband David Arquette. She says, "Those love scenes are so difficult. The hardest part is kissing because you want to look right when you're doing it and our scenes are anything goes." Courteney also worries about showing too much flesh and the reaction from her husband. She adds. "As long as you looked all right doing it and the lighting was good and [you] don't show too much, that was fine. The least turn on is doing a love scene in a movie."...
