Paramount Pictures Pick's Up Jerry Jameson's "Captive" for September 2015.

PARAMOUNT PICTURES TO DISTRIBUTE “CAPTIVE” STARRING DAVID OYELOWO AND KATE MARA

THE FILM WILL BE RELEASED ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2015

Paramount Pictures announced today that it has secured the worldwide distribution rights to “CAPTIVE,” starring David Oyelowo (“SELMA”) and Kate Mara (“FANTASTIC FOUR,” “House of Cards”). The studio will release the film on September 18, 2015.

Directed by veteran filmmaker Jerry Jameson, the film is based on the book Unlikely Angel: The Untold Story of the Atlanta Hostage Hero by Ashley Smith with Stacy Mattingly. The film’s screenplay is by Brian Bird.

David Oyelowo said,"I was drawn to this story because it beautifully illustrates how a broken spirit can be healed by an unexpected source of hope. I feel blessed to be continuing my very fruitful relationship with Paramount."

Also starring Michael K Williams, Mimi Rogers, Jessica Oyelowo and Leonor Varela, the film was produced by Terry Botwick, Jerry Jameson, David Oyelowo and Ken Wales in addition to BN Films' Alex Garcia, Lucas Akoskin and Katrina Wolfe.  The executive producers are Santiago Garcia Galvan, BN's Jonathan Gray, Elliott Lester, Ralph Winter and Bird.  BN fully financed the picture.

Terry Botwick said, “In March of 2005 Ashley’s story captivated the nation on news outlets everywhere. Her story is thrilling and redemptive as God intersected the lives of two very broken people in the most dramatic way. It has been amazing getting to know Ashley and to be working with such fine actors. I’m so pleased to also be partnering with Paramount to bring this authentic encounter to a worldwide audience.”

"Jerry Jameson has done a fantastic job bringing to life Ashley Smith's harrowing ordeal and miraculous redemption, and Kate Mara portrays her with phenomenal sensitivity and poignancy. Along with “Nightingale,” “Captive” also represents our second collaboration with the brilliantly talented David Oyelowo. We look forward to continuing this special relationship with David and believe that the film has found the perfect home at Paramount," said Alex Garcia, President of AG Studios, the holding company of BN Films.

The film tells the dramatic, thrilling and spiritual true story of Ashley Smith (Mara), a single mother and recovering drug addict who was taken hostage in her own apartment by fugitive, murderer and accused rapist Brian Nichols (Oyelowo). With her back against the wall, Smith turned to the personal spiritual journey of Rick Warren’s best-selling book The Purpose Driven Life in an attempt to survive and help Brian find a better way out.

Oyelowo is represented by CAA, Inphenate, Hamilton Hodell and Schreck, Rose, Dapello & Adams.

Mara is represented by UTA, Stone, Meyer, Genow, Smelkinson and Binder.

Klaus Janson, Inker on "The Dark Knight Returns," at Baltimore Comic-Con 2015

Join Cully, Dean, Klaus, and Seth at Baltimore Comic-Con 2015!

The Baltimore Comic-Con returns to Baltimore's beautiful Inner Harbor on September 25-27, 2015 for our 16th annual show! Come to the Baltimore Convention Center this fall to meet returning guests Cully Hamner, Dean Haspiel, Klaus Janson, and Seth Kushner.

One of the founding members of Gaijin Studios, Cully Hamner has worked for every major publisher in the comics industry (and many minor ones) since his debut at DC Comics in 1992, where he provided art duties on Green Lantern: Mosaic. He later went on to make a name for himself working on DC's Blue Beetle and Black Lightning: Year One, and his comic, Red was adapted as a major motion picture. Recently, you can find his art on Valiant's The Delinquents variant covers and DC's Convergence: The Question, as well as a Superman: Man of Steel statue design!

Emmy Award winner and Harvey and Eisner Award nominee Dean Haspiel is a man of many talents. In addition to major comics accomplishments like his seminal  Billy Dogma and collaborations with alt-comix legend Harvey Pekar, "Dino" has provided art for HBO's "Bored to Death", co-founded HANG DAI Editions, and was a playwright ("Switch to Kill"). He has provided art for titles such as Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men: First Class, IDW's Godzilla Legends, and Locust Moon Press' Little Nemo: Dream Another Dream. You can find him these days providing art on DC Comics' Batman '66, covers on Action Lab Entertainment's The Stray, and plots and art on Archie Comics' The Fox.

Klaus Janson's storied career begins back in the 1970s, when he got his first professional comics credit on Marvel's Jungle Action, and he's built a long line of comics work ever since, with noteworthy penciling or inking runs on titles such as Marvel's Defenders and Daredevil, and DC's Detective Comics and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. His artistic skills see him regularly as a penciller, inker, and colorist, and he regularly teaches courses, both publicly at venues such as the School of Visual Arts, and privately at comics publishing events and conventions. You can find examples of his recent work on DC Comics' Superman and Convergence: Batman and Robin, and Marvel's Amazing Spider-Man.

And last but certainly not least, we are especially pleased to welcome back to the Baltimore Comic-Con comix creator and photographer Seth Kushner! For those of you unaware, Seth was unable to attend our 2014 show during his battle with leukemia, and we're happy to report he has recovered and will be joining us this year. Seth's entry into the world of comics came as a result of his friendship with Dean Haspiel, of whom he was taking pictures for a book on interesting people in Brooklyn. As Dean introduced Seth to more people in comics, he became the defacto photographer for many creators, and this work led to the publication of Leaping Tall Buildings, which profiled the comics medium using Seth's pictures of industry players. Since then, Seth went on to become one of the contributors to Trip City, an online repository of online art, and its successor, Act-i-Vate, a webcomics collective. Seth's Schmuck Comix and Secret Sauce Comix are being reissued by Hang Dai Editions through Alternative Comics this year.

"We are so happy to have these 4 guys back go our show, and we know our attendees will be as well," said Marc Nathan, promoter of the Baltimore Comic-Con. "It is particularly fantastic to have Seth Kushner rejoining our annual comics party -- he was with us in spirit last year, even though he couldn't attend in person, and we're excited to see him on the Baltimore Convention Center floor in 2015!"

This year's confirmed guests for the show include: Jeremy Bastian (Cursed Pirate Girl); Mark Buckingham (Fables); Cliff Chiang (Wonder Woman); Frank Cho (Jungle Girl); Steve Conley (Bloop); Amanda Conner (Harley Quinn); Katie Cook (Gronk); Darwyn Cooke (Richard Stark's Parker); John Gallagher (Buzzboy); Cully Hamner (Convergence: The Question); Dean Haspiel (The Fox); Jaime Hernandez (Love and Rockets); Klaus Janson (Superman); JG Jones (Strange Fruit); Denis Kitchen (The Best of Comix Book: When Marvel Went Underground); Barry Kitson (Empire: Uprising); Seth Kushner (Schmuck); Mark Mariano (The Other Side of Hugless Hill); Ron Marz (Convergence: Batman and Robin); Terry Moore (Rachel Rising); Tom Palmer (The Avengers); Jimmy Palmiotti (The Con Job); David Peterson (Mouse Guard); Ron Randall (Convergence: Catwoman); Budd Root (Cavewoman); Don Rosa (Donald Duck); Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo); Bart Sears (Bloodshot); Louise Simonson (Convergence: Superman - The Man of Steel); Walter Simonson (Convergence: Superman - The Man of Steel); Andy Smith (Earth 2); Charles Soule (Uncanny Inhumans); Ben Templesmith (Gotham by Midnight); Frank Tieri (Suicide Squad); John Totleben (Swamp Thing); Rick Veitch (Saga of the Swamp Thing); Mark Waid (Daredevil); and Thom Zahler (My Little Pony: Friends Forever).

Cover Artist, Eric Basaldua, Announces Art Book, "MOJO"

Eric Basaldua, famed cover-artist (Wonderland, GFT, Aspen's Fathom, Top Cow) and former Top Cow artist (Magdalena, Tomb Raider, Darkness, Witchblade, Hunter/Killer), is creating new characters and art for his special and personal project, called MOJO.

MOJO will feature stunning commissions, art progress showcasing just how Eric tackles his artwork, sketches for covers and unseen images only available via this special art book!

MOJO looks like a comic, with stunning e.Bas-covers but it's actually not. It's Eric's personal artbook in comic format that he is going to release every month.

It has Eric's personal character Captain Morgana and he will introduce Davey Jones in #2 as well as "The Mojo Girls".

Basically MOJO will be a mishmash of his sketches, layouts, color work, commissions and covers, but it will also have Captain Morgana's origin and adventures being told by Brittany Williams, combined with Eric's art to help tell the story, in a few pages.

As Eric states: "I will also include three new sections called "GO ASSnation's Law", "art advise" and contest winners.

The "contest" section is where Eric will host various contests for anyone to enter and "try" and have the winner choose ideas for the book or give-away's or prizes.

Eric wants to have fun with his dedicated base of fans and says: "For example, the regular edition for the football cover has Krystal Buchanan's husbands favorite team on it because she won the first contest. I really like the idea of all of you contributing, advising, consulting to the book as well, and I hope that it will get all of you involved." 

Fans of sexy artwork can buy the regular edition on conventions Eric will be attending. The stunning cover as well as online variants via Anastacia Collections at (www.anastasiascollectibles.com/).
