Belltower Entertainment (OTCBB:BTOW) announced today that it has
formally engaged Paul Cuschieri to write the screenplay adaptation
of “Smokescreen,” based on Robert Sabbag’s best-selling book of the
same name. An action-adventure, “Smokescreen” tells the
unbelievable “true life tale about Allen Long, a frustrated
American documentary filmmaker who began smuggling pot out of
Mexico and then Colombia in the seventies, featuring countless
near-death episodes, in a rickety marijuana stuffed DC-3.” – The
New Yorker. Belltower plans to begin filming in Fall 2010, with a
target release date in the Spring of 2011.
Belltower now has three feature films in various phases of
development and pre-production.
In August, Belltower announced the signing of Ericson Core
(“Invincible”) to direct “Dance The Green,” a collaboration with
Academy Award-winning writer Barry Morrow (“Rain Man”) which tells
the story of legendary golfer Moe Norman. “Dance The Green” will
begin shooting on location in Florida and Pittsburgh in spring
2010.
Earlier this year, Belltower announced “Little Treasure,”
(formerly known as “A Kid for Christmas”) a family comedy written
by Josh Goldstein (Fresh Prince of BelAir, HBO’S Arli$$ and
Disney’s “Jungle Cruise”). “Little Treasure,” to be directed by
Michael Olmos, is currently casting and is slated to begin
pre-production by the end of this year in Shanghai, China.
Cuschieri is repped by David Krintzman.
Belltower is an independent film company based in Los Angeles,
with a satellite office in Shanghai. Led by founder and CEO Donald
