BURBANK, CA, October 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ — According to Production Weekly, the most highly regarded production report publisher in the entertainment industry, the fourth saga in the Twilight Series is going back to it’s roots and will be filmed in Portland, Oregon. The original Twilight film was shot there. In addition, a new production company, Sunswept Entertainment, has been brought on board for Breaking Dawn. Sunswept Entertainment was created by Karen Rosenfelt, who is the daughter of former MGM Chairman & CEO Frank Edward Rosenfelt. Karen Rosenfelt served as Producer on both “Twilight” and on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”. She did not work on “New Moon”, but is producing “Breaking Dawn” through her Sunswept Entertainment banner.

There will likely be quite a bit of tweaking to the fourth novel in the series due to the explicit sex and birth scenes to avoid an R rating. Inside sources confirm that Breaking Dawn may be filmed and released in two parts – “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I”, and “Part II”. Although this has not been confirmed officially by Summit, author Stephenie Meyer has stated, “it would have to be made into multiple movies because it’s hard to imagine it fitting into ninety minutes”.

Fans can expect a massive talent search for the role of Renesmee Cullen, the half-vampire, half-human daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, just as there was for the roles of Seth and Leah Clearwater in “Eclipse”.

David Slade is directing “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”, but it is unknown if he will also direct any of the Breaking Dawn films. “Breaking Dawn: Part I” should start shooting in September 2010, with a release scheduled for 2011.

MONTREAL, Canada (PRWEB) September 6, 2009 — PUNCTURED HOPE: A STORY ABOUT TROKOSI AND YOUNG GIRLS’ SLAVERY IN TODAY’S WEST AFRICA triumphs at the Montreal World Film Festival. PUNCTURED HOPE had three screenings at the Festival. Each screening register a bigger number of viewers. The last screening, on Saturday, September 5th, had a full house with people sitting in first raw and some also standing.

Here are some quotes from film critics, journalists and film viewers who have attended the screenings.

“The Director Bruno Pischiutta testifies to a practice which is not very much widespread, but still an inadmissible horror. PUNCTURED HOPE is touching the spectator’s heart. The movie is a wake up call for the international community. This film is recommended and needs to be seen over and over again.” – Stéphane Waffo, Montreal Journalist/Film Critic (Touki Montréal, African Reflection, CISM, CIBL)

“I cannot find words to describe what I feel.  It is the best awakening movie ever!  Even if the subject is extremely hard, the fact that there were not graphic pictures of the atrocious acts they commit, it reached further within us without the sensationalism that most US movies have today. I am hoping in the deepest of my heart that many people will see it and will be aware of the nightmare life that these girls live. Director Bruno Pischiutta and Producer Daria Trifu did a fabulous job in recreating the situations keeping so much authenticity to them. Thank you so much for offering me the opportunity to see such an outstanding movie. I felt part of the movie as if I was one of the participants, it was so natural that it did not feel like a movie made up but just lived. Thank you!!!!” – Nadine Labat, Montreal Viewer

“While it appears that Western filmmakers are more inclined to turn to documentaries to expose this type of reality, with a fiction in which the protagonist tells her own story, Bruno Pischiutta first manages to bring us close to the village to let us understand its dynamics and politics before putting us face to face with the cruelty of this practice and the heartbreak it causes within the communities where it has now raged for several centuries. Punctured Hope is a definite must-see; this film is a great discovery that I highly recommend.” – Khady Beye, Montreal Journalist (Durala, CHOQ FM)

“Belinda Siamey who plays Edinam gives an incredible performance in this heart wrenching true story that is simply done, yet compelling and memorable. Bruno Pischiutta has managed the art of taking a complex subject and presenting it tastefully, simply with sensitivity. I highly recommend that you take the time to see Punctured Hope and I promise that the end is worth waiting for. It is moving and unforgettable.” – Andrea R. Garrison, New York Journalist

Carmelo Dodaro, the DOP of PUNCTURED HOPE, who did not get the chance to view the film before today’s screening in Montreal, was in attendance and he congratulated Director Bruno Pischiutta and Producer Daria Trifu for the perfect execution of the movie.

Toronto Actress Krista Campbell and her husband David Craig were in attendance and they praised the artistic execution as well as the importance of the film’s topic.

LOS ANGELES, CA, July 30, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ — When director Sandra Mohr decided to find out why her family’s 401(k) was looking more like a 201(k) she probably had no idea she would be exposed to the corrupt underworld of hedge funds, criminal market managers, and greedy legislators. So what’s a director to do? Make a movie about it, of course. Continue Reading
