The Other End of the Line turns up for Jesse Metcalfe
Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe titled The Other End of the Line from a screenplay by Tracey Jackson (The Guru) that is being setup at Hyde Park Entertainment and MGM. James Dodson, the helmer of the straight to video Behind Enemy Lines 2 will direct and is actually also the guy that has wrote the screenplay for The Omen 2. No, not the original Omen sequel, but the sequel to the recent hideous remake. I didn't even know this movie was in production and needless to say, it's probably straight to dvd too. Hyde Park Entertainment are of course an Asian film market and it's head honcho Ashok Amritraj has made no secret about this movie being a marketing ploy for the future of his company for the U.S. market...
"This project was an organic opportunity for my mandate of identifying new and innovative ways to continually bridge the U.S. with the Asian continent and its multiple film markets," Amritraj said. "This high-concept unique story offered Hyde Park a great entertainment platform to increase Hyde Park's foot-print in Asia."The movie could have worked if it had a Bill Murray caliber actor but Jesse Metcalfe I don't think is that guy. And this director has no CV worth taking a dump with so I'm predicting a rough ride for The Other End of the Line. source - variety
