Business Wire
The Motion Picture Group, Inc. (Pink Sheets:MPRG), a film and
entertainment financing and production company, announced today
that "I TRUST YOU TO KILL ME", its first feature film production,
has been picked up for North American distribution by First
Independent Pictures. The film is scheduled for an initial
three-city theatrical release in New York, Los Angeles, and San
Francisco, opening first in New York City on Friday, September 8,
2006 at Landmark's Sunshine Cinema on the Lower East Side.
According to Variety, the "consistently amusing and occasionally
hilarious" film is "...arguably the best rockumentary since 'Some
Kind of Monster',...the artfully crafted doc earns respect as an
insightful and arresting behind-the-scenes look at what any band
must endure to make that first lunge at the brass ring." In the
film, Kiefer Sutherland, Emmy-winning star of the hit TV show "24",
takes his indie record label act, Rocco DeLuca & the Burden, on
its first international tour and chronicles the highly personal
journey of the hopes, successes, and challenges of the rock band.
"I TRUST YOU TO KILL ME", the debut feature-length film of Manu
Boyer, is a Motion Picture Group/MRB Production presented by First
Independent Pictures in association with Ironworks Music, and was
produced by Pliny Porter and Matthew Brady. Producer Porter, the
Company's CEO, stated: "We are eagerly anticipating the New York
City opening on Friday. The filmmakers and cast will be attending
the first Friday and Saturday screenings and look forward to
meeting with moviegoers after the show to hear their reactions to
the film." The film opens the week of September 15 at Laemmle's
Sunset 5 in West Hollywood and at LandMark's Lumiere Theatre in San
Francisco the week of September 29. Information on the film, the
band, the cast, production companies, and show times can be found
