Upcoming Productions of Legaci Pictures

Legaci Pictures' first production, Little Athens, follows a whirlwind day in the hapless lives of small town youth caught in a dead-end post-high school void. The journeys of four groups of late teens/early twenty-somethings unfold through four different storylines, their separate trails converging at an explosive house party. Little Athens boasts the hottest ensemble of Generation-Y stars yet assembled in a single independent film, including John Patrick Amedori (The Butterfly Effect), Jorge Garcia (TV’s Lost), Shawn Hatosy (Alpha Dog), Michelle Horn (Hostage), Tory Kittles (Get Rich or Die Tryin’), Erica Leerhsen (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Rachel Miner (Bully), Kenny Morrison (NeverEnding Story II), Leonardo Nam (The Perfect Score), Michael Pena (Crash), DJ Qualls (Hustle & Flow), Jill Ritchie (D.E.B.S.), and Eric Szmanda (TV’s CSI). Little Athens also boasts a red hot soundtrack, which includes classics like Let Down by Radiohead, and soon-to-be classics by today’s most exciting new bands, including The Plebz, Poets and Pornstars, and The Walkmen. Little Athens, an Official Selection of the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival., was picked up for distribution by a major independent film distributor, which distributor will issue a formal press release later on this year.

Legaci Pictures currently has the following projects in development: 

Found (written by Matt Lendach & Tom Zuber): A character-driven thriller revolving around a ransom item of extraordinary importance, and its impact on the people who pursue it.  Found will be directed by Tom Zuber.

 

Up (written by David J. Mesman): A darkly comedic modern-day fairytale, except that our prince charming, Aidan, is a teenage subway spray paint artist, and our princess, Sameena, is a washed up teen idol now under the thumb of her dangerous cocaine dealing boyfriend. Aidan’s dreams of escaping to Paris with Sameena are out of reach until he witnesses two murderous police detectives hide a king’s ransom in jewels in the underground tunnels he frequents. Aidan’s efforts to obtain the jewels while rescuing Sameena from the clutches of her drug-dealing boyfriend forces him to confront not only the two detectives, but also the inner demons that have been holding him back all along. Up could be described as a cross between “True Romance” and “Amélie.” Up’s director is TBD.
