Feature Film: Love Scotch & Death

STATUS

Pre-Production


SYNOPSIS

The script covers an all-too-typical week in the life of the Manos family. Returning from a stressful “vacation,” Manos discovers his parents have simultaneously died of natural causes in bed overnight, forcing him to navigate his way past an uncooperative funeral director, his bewildered children, his manic wife, an eccentric priest, over-sexed neighbors, an arrest on an assault charge, and perhaps worst of all, the death of his wife’s beloved dog.

ABOUT

James Manos, Jr. will make his directorial debut on the project, which is a comedic and imaginative re-telling of his real life. Starring will be Golden Globe winner and four-time Emmy nominee Michael C. Hall (“DEXTER,” “SIX FEET UNDER”) and Oscar- and Golden Globe-nominated Vera Farmiga (“SOURCE CODE”, “HIGHER GROUND”, “UP IN THE AIR”). The movie is slated to shoot in November after Hall wraps his 6th season of “DEXTER”.

“LOVE, SCOTCH AND DEATH has been a passion project of Jim’s and mine for a long time,” Brown said. “And it’s awesome to have the resources I need at hand to help get client projects made. I can’t wait to see Jim behind the camera telling this crazy story.”
