LOS ANGELES and CANNES,
France, May
19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sycamore Entertainment Group,
Inc. (SEGI), is pleased to announce it has closed a co-financing
deal for the film MANTIVITIES, produced, written by, and
starring Chris Pine (STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, INTO THE
WOODS). The move to co-finance gives Sycamore 'first look' at
domestic distribution rights of some of the top film projects at an
early stage.
"MANTIVITIES is a great script with great actors;
this project is shaping up to be one of the hottest comedies of the
year," says Edward Sylvan CEO of Sycamore Entertainment Group.
He goes on to say "This film's audience appeal is
unquestionable; that along with Chris
Pine's cumulative worldwide box office approaching
$2 Billion dollars, it was an easy
decision for us to be a part of this project."
Chris Pine adds "I'm incredibly
passionate about MANTIVITIES and so lucky to have been
able to work with my unbelievably talented friends to tell a story
that reflects the adventures we've experienced together. We're a
group of guys that wrote a funny story about a group of guys and I
think many people will relate and laugh along with us."
Pine, Sarah Babineau, and Haven
Entertainment's Kevin Mann (UNDER
THE ELECTRIC SKY) with Jordana
Mollick (LIFE PARTNERS) are producing MANTIVITIES,
Val Hill and Ian McGloin from 16:14 Entertainment will
executive produce, and their partner Sycamore Entertainment Group,
led by CEO Edward Sylvan, will
co-finance. Olivier Rossmann, CEO of
Locamatel LLC, is the other co-financier and will be an executive
producer. Haven Entertainment's Mauricio
Betancur and Brendan Bragg
