While director Blake Edwards and star Peter Sellers are best known for their several Pink Panther efforts, they also collaborated on one additional wholly unrelated title, The Party (1968). It was their third time working together, with only two of the Panther films preceding it, and arriving the same year that Bud Yorkin attempted an unsuccessful Us version of the Clouseau character starring Alan Arkin with Inspector Clouseau. For the most part, this is a film that allows Sellers free reign with his fake persona, though by today’s standards this might play something like an SNL extended skit feature. Though Sellers was a top tier performer, many may likely find his appearance here in ‘brown face’ as a bumbling Indian actor to be off-putting, even if it isn’t pointedly demeaning.
The story is about as simple as the unassuming title. Hrundi V. Bakshi (Sellers) is an Indian actor in Hollywood,...

David Oyelowo ("The Help") and Kate Mara ("House of Cards") are set to star in Jerry Jameson's true-story thriller "Captive" at Bn Films.
The story follows Brian Nichols (Oyelowo), a man who broke out of an Atlanta courthouse jail in 2005 and shot dead the judge assigned to his case as well as a court reporter, sheriff’s deputy and FBI officer.
Eluding a statewide manhunt, Nichols takes Ashley Smith (Mara), a single mother struggling with meth addiction, hostage in her own apartment.
Over the course of her ordeal, Smith used a book she had been given, Rick Warren's "The Purpose Driven Life," to reason with her captor. Leonor Varela and Mimi Rogers also star.
Brian Bird and Reinhard Denke penned the script based on Ashley Smith’s best-selling book "An Unlikely Angel".
Alex Garcia, Lucas Akoskin, Terry Botwick, Oyelowo and Ken Wales will produce. Filming will begin later this month.
