Their projects currently include The Poisoners, a film which is to be directed by Jon Amiel and will star, among others, Emily Watson and Anna Friel. They are also working on a film adapted and to be directed by Sandra Goldbacher entitled The Beloved; development has been supported by the European MEDIA Fund and the UK Film Council.
They are also working on a hilarious new romantic comedy written, and to be directed by the talented Jonathan Lynn called The Pre-Nup.
