These were followed by deals with Julia Roberts' Red Om Films and Brett Ratner's Rat Entertainment.



Among the highlights of the development slate are:

Saturn Films: VOODOO CHILD with writer John Collee.

JC 23 Entertainment: O'GUNN with writers Ed Cannistraci and Fred Seton.

1492 Pictures: THINGS THEY LEFT BEHIND, the Stephen King short story about 9/11 survivors, has been optioned. As has Thurston Clarke's book, 'The Last Campaign', and David Dorfman's script, 'It's A Miserable Life'.
