New Project Announcement-THE GIRL FROM MARS Film

We are thrilled to announce the next film project we are working on which is called THE GIRL FROM MARS starring Pauley Perrette who is one of the stars of the top rated CBS television series NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service. THE GIRL FROM MARS tells the story of a lonely geek whose life is transformed when he meets the girl of his dreams (Perrette) who claims to be a visitor from another planet.

The film is written and directed by DIY auteur James Felix McKenney, whose previous features include the retro sci-fi flick, AUTOMATONS and the upcoming HYPOTHERMIA from Dark Sky films, starring Michael Rooker ("The Walking Dead").

McKenney will be sharing producing chores with the team at The Work Room Productions. The Director of Photography will be Eric Branco, who lensed both McKenney's HYPOTHERMIA and SATAN HATES YOU for New York-based production company Glass Eye Pix.

Says McKenney about working with Perrette, "We've wanted to do something with Pauley in the lead for quite a while now. She has such a powerful presence with so much energy and compassion, it's infectious. Writing this part was all about trying to capture that combination of kindness and enthusiasm that makes Pauley so special as a person and distill it all into a character that audiences will really respond to."

We're currently planning on shooting Spring 2011, please check back here or the official site www.thegirlfrommarsmovie.com for information as it happens.
