Fight to Fame Films to Finance 'When We Pray', Developed With Jamie Foxx
LOS ANGELES, March 19, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Fight to Fame Films and Cinema Libre Studio will finance “When We Pray,” a faith-based feature film developed with Jamie Foxx, who is in discussions to direct.
“When We Pray” is about two brothers who become pastors at different churches in the same community. One brother develops his church into a modern, high-tech congregation that uses digital devices and ATM machines. The other brother follows a humbler path but soon finds his church in decline and in need of financial help.
The screenplay is written by Foxx and Donald Ray "Speedy" Caldwell, who collaborated with Foxx previously.
Foxx and Caldwell are currently polishing the script with production scheduled to start before the end of the year.
Fight to Fame Films will finance and Cinema Libre Studio will produce in collaboration with Jamie Foxx.
The deal was negotiated by Philippe Diaz, founder and Chairman of Cinema Libre Studio, who also serves as President of the Fight to Fame film committee, with the involvement of Rodney Mason from Fast Mouse Films who will serve as Executive Producer.
Bob Wyman and Will Holtzman from Davis Wright Tremaine represented Cinema Libre Studio and Eric Sherman and Matthew Johnson from Ziffren Brittenham represented Foxx.
Diaz says, “It’s a great honor to work with such a talented and passionate man as Jamie Foxx and I’m pleased to have our new, Fight to Fame partners onboard, which will give Jamie the total freedom to make this film which is close to his heart, thus launching this new unique collaboration.”
Carrie Wang, Chairman of Hong Kong-based Fight to Fame Films says, "Jamie Foxx is a Hollywood superstar--but audiences around the world love him as well. Our strong relationships in China and other Asian countries will ensure that "When We Pray" will be enthusiastically received by Asian moviegoers."
