It was announced today that Demian Gregory has come onboard to produce The God Four, a feature film written and directed by Todd Komarnicki. The project is being co-financed by Gregory’s Aristocracy Group and Composite Media Capital. Michael Douglas (Wall Street), Natalie Dormer (“Game of Thrones”), Jai Courtney (Suicide Squad) and Brenton Thwaites (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) are set to star. The film is scheduled to go before cameras in Spring 2017, with additional casting currently underway.
Komarnicki is the screenwriter of Sully, the highly-anticipated biopic directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Tom Hanks. He also produced the box office hit Elf starring Will Ferrell.
Demian Gregory is fully financing the project and will produce alongside Peter Winther (Stargate, Independence Day, Godzilla and The Patriot), Lars Winther (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, The Avengers, Captain America) and executive producers Nicholas Cafritz and Robert Reed Peterson.
Academy Award-nominated director of photography Donald McAlpine (The Chronicles of Narnia, Moulin Rouge!, Romeo+Juliet) and production designer Jane Muskin (Ghost, Glengarry Glen Ross, When Harry Met Sally) are also attached to the production.
Based on an original novel by Ron Irwin adapted by Todd Komarnicki, The God Four is a thriller that tells the story of Rob Carrey, a filmmaker who, on the eve of his 10-year school reunion, discovers that one of his championship rowing crew has just committed suicide. The discovery compels him to look back at his final year at college, a time of rivalry, romance and dangerous secrets.
“We are thrilled to be working with Demian and his partners,” said producer Peter Winther.
“We are proud to be a part of ‘The God Four.’ This is a project that fits in with the type of original and sophisticated films that the company is producing,” said Composite Media Capital in a statement.
Aristocracy Group is a consortium of vertically integrated media companies specializing in production and financing of filmed entertainment privately held by Demian Gregory. Composite Media Capital is a US-based film finance outfit launched by Demian Gregory, Nicholas Cafritz and Robert Reed Peterson. With offices in London and Los Angeles, Aristocracy Group and Composite Media Capital are currently producing 5-6 sophisticated and commercially-driven feature films per year with budgets up to $30m USD.
