“It is a moment to allow people to just reflect on the story, and what has just happened” Rita Wilson reveals about the song “Because Love,” which the performer, songwriter and producer co-wrote with composer Laura Karpman for Eleanor Coppola‘s ensemble comedy/drama “Love is Love is Love.”
Wilson, who co-stars in the film, sings an excerpt from the song live and acapella in front of friends and family gathered to eulogize a dear friend who has died.

Mature content means something different when it comes to Eleanor Coppola’s narrative features. “Love Is Love Is Love” — opening Friday theatrically — is the director’s second narrative film.

Coppola has gathered a fine ensemble of actors, many of whom likely share in her concerns about the paucity of big-screen stories for — and featuring — grown women. The three vignettes in this at times tender, occasionally amusing adventure in romance, marriage and friendship provide a number of textured moments for their female performers. Johanna Whalley nails marital knowingness in “Two for Dinner.” Kathy Baker proves to be the adult in the room — er, on deck — in “Sailing Lesson.” The dinner table in “Late Lunch” is ringed with welcome guests who underscore...

Actor/ Producer Julian McMahon ("Nip/Tuck" and "Fantastic Four") and Charlie Loventhal ("Mr Write" and "Meet Market"), in partnership with Grey Eagle Films/Grey Eagle Development, will be developing and producing "Funny Boys," based on the novel by Warren Adler. Paradigm will package the project.

Jonathan Robert Adler, CEO, along with Grey Eagle COO, Stephen Greenwald, former President of DeLaurentis Entertainment Group and Embassy Pictures, have already launched a number of development/producing deals.
"Funny Boys" is just one of a number of Warren Adler novels in various stages of development by Grey Eagle Films. Other Grey Eagle projects include "The War of the Roses: The Children" adapted by screenwriter and Novelist Alex McAulay and codeveloped by Permut Presentations; "Target Churchill,"co-developed by Solution Entertainment Group; "Mourning Glory," to be adapted by award-winning writer and director Karen Leigh Hopkins; "Cult," also to be adapted by Alex McAulay; "Capitol Crimes," a TV series based on Warren Adler’s Fiona Fitzgerald mystery series, co-developed by Sennet Entertainment, with Eric Overmyer as showrunner; and soon to be announced thrillers "Torture Man," "Residue" and "The Womanizer"...
