Big Screen Entertainment Group Sets 2007-2009 Slate



September 5, 2007 – Hollywood, CA -- Having produced five feature length films in the last three years, Big Screen Entertainment Group (OTC:BSEG) is well positioned for future growth in the entertainment and business communities. The company is currently finalizing negotiations with a number of private equity sources to create a film fund in excess of 50 million dollars, to be utilized for its slate of projects through 2009.



First up is “Standing Down,” written by Ron Zimmerman and starring Ron Perlman. “Standing Down is a funny, touching, controversial love story,” stated CEO Kimberley Kates. “It’s a wonderful project. We plan on starting production when Ron completes shooting Hellboy 2, which is being directed by Guillermo Del Toro.” “Standing Down” also stars Pras Michel, a founding member of the hip-hop sensation The Fugees. Pras will also provide material for the film’s soundtrack. Further casting announcements with major stars shall be forthcoming.



Next will be “Tool Girls,” a crime thriller set in the car-racing world of the deep south. After surviving a horrific encounter, two calendar models become hardcore killers as they go on the road to avenge the crime. The project is being developed by BSEG Senior VP Michael Manasseri and his co-director on BSEG’s “Babysitter Wanted,” Jonas Barnes.



After “Tool Girls,” Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award winner Larry Gross will direct his erotic thriller, “Nothing Compares to You.” Gross’s credits include 48 Hours and the sequel Another 48 Hours, co-written with director Walter Hill.



Big Screen will also enter the family film genre with “The Road to Christmas.” Orphaned siblings have given up believing in the wonder of Christmas until they meet a mysterious homeless woman who leads them on a magical holiday adventure. Legendary country singer Dolly Parton will be recording a song for the feature film.



Big Screen’s most ambitious project to date will be the high concept action comedy, “The Accountant.” The production budget for this title will range from 15 to 20 million dollars. BSEG will partner with one of Florida’s premier production companies on the film.



Six other feature projects to be named later will also be developed with Big Screen’s Florida production partner, as well as a television series and a number of documentaries.



Projected gross receipts for BSEG’s new slate of films total over 200 million dollars.



Concurrently, Big Screen will continue rolling out a number of casual games through its game and animation division.



Rubber Dubber, the first game from Big Screen, was recently picked up for distribution by Seattle based Big Fish Games. In the coming weeks, Big Screen will announce the addition of two other major distributors for Rubber Dubber.



Big Screen gaming division has four more games in development as well as an MMO.

“Online gaming is continuing its explosive growth worldwide, and working with top developer Andrei Gireada will help us penetrate the marketplace and expand this area of production for BSEG,” stated Senior VP Michael Manasseri.
