CANNES -- Producer Martin Huberty and executive Laura Burrows have teamed to form U.K.- and L.A.-based independent production company Simon Film Prods., the duo said Tuesday. The pair swung into Cannes to talk to financiers and marketgoers about its development slate and hawk Huberty's directorial debut, "Deserter", previously called "Simon, an English Legionnaire". The startup's development slate is headed by "3 and Out", which has been penned by British newcomers Tony Owen and Stephen Lewis. The script details the story of a fledgling underground train driver who has already had two suicide jumpers. On learning he needs only one more death and will be allowed to retire on full pay and pension, the young man goes in search of someone with nothing to live for.
