The Production Team Congratulates Whitta as Newly Selected
Screenplay Writer for Star Wars Project
Amasia Entertainment and American Films, Inc. (Pink Sheets:
AMFL) have signed an agreement and are joining forces to bring
American Films’ flagship screenplay Reaper to the big
screen. Reaper is written by Gary Whitta, the acclaimed
screenplay writer of Book of Eli (Denzel Washington), who
was recently engaged to write a new Star Wars film
project.
American Films Executive Producer Lynne Murphy welcomes Amasia
producers Bradley Gallo and Michael Helfant (producers of The
Call) to the project.
Producing on behalf of American Films are Stewart Hall and Devin
Cutler, noted for their production of the Academy Award winning
Monster. Joining them is Circle of Confusion’s David Alpert,
executive producer of The Walking Dead and producer of
American Ultra. Lotus Entertainment is attached to handle
foreign sales.
Reaper is the stylish, neo-noir story of Virgil, a
private investigator searching for his kidnapped daughter. The
hauntingly beautiful and mysterious Delia recruits him to a surreal
underworld where the boundaries between life and death become
blurred.
Gary Whitta said, "I'm so thrilled to see Reaper back on
a track toward production with an exciting producing team that
truly believes in the project."
“Sometimes the stars align,” said Executive Producer Lynne
Murphy. “Bringing together a Gary Whitta screenplay with all of
these accomplished producers is one of those times. We will be able
to position Reaper as a successful motion picture franchise
for the foreseeable future.”
Hall and Cutler said, “Seeing Reaper’s words come off the page
and onto the big screen will give us the greatest satisfaction we
can possibly feel as producers.”
Circle of Confusion David Alpert commented, "Reaper has
been a passion project for me for well over a decade. I can't wait
to finally breathe life into this with such a great group of
partners."
Amasia’s Gallo and Helfant added, “We read the script and
immediately responded. It’s a project that producers dream about –
a commercial franchise that is incredibly well written with
intricate characters and intense suspense. We are excited to jump
in.”
