An outline of the deal.
The current budget estimate is $7,600,000 (again, pre-director pass). The
casting directors were going to approach the actors on a "favored nations"
basis, and many in our team feel secure in being able to get amazing deals
in Arkansas.
Distributors at the AFM responded strongly to the pitch, and the
opportunities in ancillary markets (home video, sound track, little stuffed
Caesars, etc.) are large.
Though the SEC rightly instructs filmmakers to warn investors about film
being VERY HIGH RISK, I truly do see this project having cash cow
potential...which is why I chose it for my opening salvo.
Looking forward...Yours, Elaine

CAESAR
A DRAMA
WITH COMEDY OVERTONES set in modern-day Arkansas, CAESAR opens with COREY
RAYMOND on the run.
An underachieving Average Joe who dreamed of heroic endeavors, Corey awoke
at age forty-one to find himself in a life in which nothing he did -- or was
-- mattered. In hopes of jump-starting his dead-end existence, Corey stole
from a retired Hot Springs mobster assuming that stealing small would go
unnoted.
He was mistaken.
His flight made all the more challenging by his traveling companion, a
painfully timid 250-pound English Mastiff named CAESAR, Corey is aided by
those he encounters along the way, including cast-off silent ten-year-old
CHRISTOPHER and outspoken cafe owner EMILY...who just may prove the love of
Corey's life. But, since they're baffled as to how anyone could be thick
enough to steal from mobsters, they're not without resentment.
Until, that is, Corey lets it slip that what he stole from the Mob Boss...
was Caesar.
Employed as a pet-sitter, the beaten-down Corey couldn't stand to witness
the same treatment inflicted on an innocent animal, and the Boss refused to
sell. So Corey ran.
To Corey's vast surprise, however, this news does not draw contempt -- but,
for the first time in his life, admiration. And, as the Boss's men close in
and consequences escalate, Corey is again surprised to find himself unable
to back down...and slowly comes to see the non-comic-book but very real and
enduring courage hidden in the hearts of "loser" Average Joes.
And, perhaps even more significantly, how the man he's becoming appears to
ripple outward to inspire everyone around him.
Including -- most surprising of all -- Caesar.
CAESAR in our
movie, is played by an English Mastiff.
This ancient and
wonderful big dog will delight movie goers of all ages. And a new star is
born.
Found in Britain as early as the Roman invasion, the Noble Old English
Mastiff was probably brought to that island by Phoenician traders as early
as the 6th century BC. Since then, the Mastiff has been used as an arena
gladiator by the Romans, in the bloody sport of bull, bear and dog combat,
and as a sheep guardian, bodyguard, protector, and companion. A Mastiff came
to America on the Mayflower and subsequently other dogs were imported. By
the end of World War II, Mastiffs were almost extinct in England. However,
with fresh imports from the United States and Canada, the breed is once
again well established in today's England. Some of the Mastiff's talents
include: watch dogging, guarding, police work, military work, search &
rescue, and weight pulling.
The Old English Mastiff is one of the heaviest breeds; a male Mastiff can
exceed 200 pounds. This dog is very massive, powerful and muscular. The head
is heavy and square with a short muzzle. There is a black mask around the
eyes and nose no matter what the general coat color. The eyes are small,
dark, and hazel. The small ears should also be dark-colored. The teeth
should meet in a scissors or slightly undershot bite. The tail is set quite
high, tapers to the tip, and reaches to the hocks. The short coat comes in
golden fawn, light fawn, brindle, silver, tiger, and apricot and is easy to
groom. In the eighteenth century it was described as follows:
"As a lion is to a cat, so is a mastiff compared to a dog."
 Originally
valued for their abilities as a fierce guard and fighting dog, today's
Mastiff is a gentle giant. It is a self-confident, watchful, and patient dog
who is gentle-natured towards his family. Intelligent and dignified. It
rarely barks, but it is in its nature to defend its territory and family.
Calm, steady and docile, this dog is normally excellent with children.
