New Burt Reynolds Film to Hit Theaters in October
Wednesday September 13, 10:45 am ET

HOLLYWOOD--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2006--Big Screen Entertainment Group (OTC:BSEG - News) announces that its Burt Reynolds/Raquel Welch action comedy "Forget About It," will have its theatrical premiere in October. The film has already been booked into several Northeastern cites, and negotiations are underway to continue the roll-out across the country. "We're all excited to get this funny, feel-good film into theaters," said BSEG president David Zappone. "Audiences will love the chemistry between Burt and Raquel, and we have an incredibly strong supporting cast, which includes Academy Award nominee Charles Durning, Robert Loggia, Richard Grieco and Phyllis Diller."

BSEG recently won a court ruling, affirming its ownership of the film and barring interference with its distribution of it. "There were disagreements between BSEG and the film's director regarding ownership of the film which the court considered and ruled in our favor," Zappone said.

"We're pleased with the court's ruling. What's important to everyone involved is that the product of years of hard work be seen by the public. We appreciate the work that the film's director did, and wish him the best in his future endeavors," stated BSEG CEO Kimberley Kates.

"Forget About It" tells the story of three retired military men (Reynolds, Loggia and Durning) living in a trailer park in Arizona and their still very sexy, ex-showgirl neighbor (Raquel Welch). The trios peaceful golden years are suddenly given a much needed jolt when they find a suitcase full of cash buried in the desert. The new millionaires soon discover the money actually belongs to a mobster in the witness protection program.

"It's the classic fish out of water story. We've got elements of "The Sopranos" and "Grumpy Old Men," plus Burt Reynolds and Raquel Welch. The result is a very entertaining movie," Zappone said.
