BEVERLY HILLS, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/12/08
Global Entertainment Acquisition Corporation, Inc., trading under the symbol (PINKSHEETS: PSRZ), announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the rights to produce the screenplay "Fatties; Bringing Down the House."The company announced that it will produce the full length feature this fall. The news comes on the heels of yesterday's announcement wherein the company acquired the rights to make the 3rd sequel to the comedy classic "Screwballs."
"There is a pattern, and it is beginning to take shape," says iconic producer and Global's CEO Maurice Smith. "We are in the entertainment acquisition business, and as such our focus is acquire properties that we believe will provide a high level of entertainment value. Our focus initially and primarily is to make very funny pictures for the coveted 18 to 35 audiences and this screenplay, like 'Screwballs 3,' and 'The Psychic,' certainly fits that description. I can't wait to begin shooting these films."
"Fatties; Bringing Down The House" is a screenplay that harkens back to the comedy classic "Animal House" and "Revenge of the Nerds." The story takes place on the campus of the University Of Florida, where 4 rather large, socially challenged Freshman encounter the wrath of the powerful Delta Pi fraternity. The zany comedy, cut out of the National Lampoon production model, takes a wild turn when the fed up fatties decide to seek revenge by stealing the marijuana plants growing in the basement of the frat House.
Could be a Major Franchise
The first movie of what the company expects to be a franchise, ends with our fatties getting the last laugh, but remain unfulfilled in their ultimate goal of seeking revenge on the frat, and the Frat leaders dead set on seeking revenge on our Fatties. Stay tuned for the second film. Fatties 1 is set to go into production in the fall of '08.
