With the announcement of Tour Film’s video game adaptation Left 4 Dead, you’d think that producer Phaethon0017 would at least have the class to hold off on any zombie related rumblings for a fortnight. But you’d be wrong. Undead wrong. From the artist who brought you legendary Beibo Suncloud theater poster, SimonM7, comes his and Phaethon’s shared vision of nocturnal necrotic shrubbery, Plants vs. Zombies. The film is set to release in theaters June 26th by Miracle Pictures. For a sneak preview, check out the latest episode of Hollywood The Pit here.

Christina Applegete impressed her producer so much during her work on the film Amateurfall that she’s inked a deal to star in a short mockumentary. Christina is the only female character in the testosterone-filled baseball comedy, playing Jason Lee’s love interest. But TLM Head Goose liked her performance so much that he immediately offered her the title role as Candace Kane in The Kane Files: 10 Digits.

“I’m very excited to be working soon after a project. Usually it takes a while before another role comes along,” Applegate said.

Others signed on to the short are Rosalyn Sanchez, Benjamin Bratt, Kirstie Ally and Lindsay Lohan. It is scheduled for release on August 7.

“We’re hoping to make this a series of short mockumentaries under the Kane Files brand” Goose added.

Meanwhile, Goose has been busy. Pest & Andy Go To Summer Camp has just left theaters, while he has back to back releases in July. Brothers opens July 12 with Bulletproof/Avatar Studios and AmateurBall opens July 19 with Lake Hope Features.

A FOX Exclusive!
After some hot and heavy bidding, FOX has secured the exclusive broadcast rights to your movie. Once the film leaves theaters, they?ll cut you a check for a cool $35 million dollars. This award can be used on a movie that has previously been released and is not currently in the multiplex when this award was won. NOTE: This money is a bonus and does not count towards the box office total of the film. You must write a press release about this to get the cash

Fox has obtained the exclusive broadcast rights to air Pedro’s canine-centered film Dog Gone Shorts. Fox is happy to secure the rights to this movie, proclaiming that 43% of the homes that tune into fox have dogs, so this movie is sure to be popular among its viewers. Pedro of Baseball Mogul Productions just hopes they don’t cut down the swearing too much.

“I realize that it’s network television,” remarked the prolific producer, “but the spicy language is a vital part of the story.”

A representative from Fox and Amy the Dog from Baseball Mogul Productions recently had a meeting to negotiate the deal. Pedro will get tons of money and Amy gets lots of lobster. It’s a good deal all around, says insiders close to the deal.
