MOVIES IN DEVELOPMENT

Action, comedy and Sci-Fi in the launching of CMP

CMP has started the development of their four first movies. The Studio is trying to touch different genres in this beginning, from Sci-Fi to Drama. This is the first look to the projects:

ENTERTAINING MRS. SULLIVAN : Jason Biggs and Sharon Stone have agreed to star in this teen comedy that brings remembrance of the 60’s classic ‘The Graduate’. Watch ‘The Movie File’ for more information.

T.Y.M. : Ghosts live between us. And a secret agency of the Government, known as T.Y.M., tries to fight the forces of evil. Forget about the Ghostbusters. Forget about Men In Black. This time is for real. Action, comedy and special effects in this ambitious CMP’s project.

BULLITT: Bruce Willis has accepted to revisit the Steve McQueen’s classic ‘Bullitt’, playing the tough private investigator. A high class cast will join him in this cool action thriller.

THE CLOWN SMILE: When an ambitious executive gets a cancer diagnosis, all her life changes. Obliged to live in the hospital, she will discover the life of children with her same illness, and will become the major support for them.

Big names related to CPM's future

CMP is trying to convince George Lucas to create a movies saga based on Star Wars. The movies would focus on the adventures of new Jedi’s Knights long after Episode VI. Lucas would produce the movies.

An epic production based on the Crusades times is waiting for CPM’s green light. No name related to this project has been made public yet.

Sean Penn and Robert De Niro may star in the return of Martin Scorsese to the mob world. 'The Heirs' is the title of a project that would get together these stars in a violent story of modern mob's families.

INSIDE CMP

Money and Control

Harry Stark, CMP’s President, has recently said that he is looking for a big box office hit with the new movies that let him create a franchise out of it. That way, the studio finances will sustained in this franchise, while other lower budgets movies can be released without economic risk.

No Production Deal will be signed by CMP with any star or director. CMP wants to keep control on every project they green light.
