LOS ANGELES, Dec 4, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Emmett/Furla Films, a wholly owned subsidiary of Family Room Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ OTCBB Symbol: FMLY), in conjunction with Newman/Tooley Films, is pleased to announce that principal photography began on December 2, 2002 for the motion picture "Blind Horizon." "Blind Horizon" stars Val Kilmer ("Red Planet"), Neve Campbell (all three "Scream" films) and Sam Shepard ("Black Hawk Down"). Amy Smart ("Varsity Blues") and Gil Bellows (TV's "The Agency") co-star in the Picture.

Neve Campbell plays "Chloe," the wife of a gunshot amnesia victim, played by Val Kilmer, who warns a small town sheriff, "Sheriff Kolb" (Sam Shepard), about an assassination plot against the President during his campaign tour, and must uncover a conspiracy and his role in the plot. The screenplay was written by F. Paul Benz and Steve Tomlin. Randall Emmett, Heidi Jo Markel, Vincent Newman and Tucker Tooley will produce the picture. George Furla will executive produce the picture. Nancy Lanham, Chris Bender, J.C. Spink, M. Dal Walton, III and Dale Poniewaz are also attached as co-executive producers. Michael Haussman is set to direct.

Kilmer will next be seen in "Wonderland," which is being executive produced by Emmett and Furla for Lions Gate. Kilmer recently completed "Mindhunters" for Intermedia.

Campbell, who is famous not only for her roles in the three "Scream" pictures but also for a body of work which includes six seasons on Fox's "party of Five," recently completed shooting "The Company" on location in Chicago for director Robert Altman. Campbell, who brought the idea to and developed the script with Barbara Turner ("Pollack"), stars with James Franco and Malcolm McDowell. Campbell most recently appeared opposite Jeremy Irons in the telefilm "Last Call."

Shepard will next be seen in "Leo," which is directed by Mehdi Norowzian. Shepard is currently shooting "The Notebook" for director Nick Cassavetes.

Haussman, who hails from the world of commercials and music videos, has garnered attention for his spots for Levi's, Dockers, and Phillips, as well as his music videos such as Madonna's "Take a Bow." He is also attached to direct "Takedown" for Jerry Bruckheimer Productions and Disney.

Emmett/Furla Films recent credits include: "Half Past Dead" starring Steven Seagal, which bows in theaters on November 15th for Screen Gems; and "Narc," starring Ray Liotta and Jason Patric which Paramount Pictures releases in theaters on December 20th.
