LOOKING FOR A STUDIO TO CALL HOME

Producer Intermedia Films has acquired rights to remake "Billy Jack".

DreamWorks were close to making a Keanu Reeves-starrer for a $400,000 advance against a $1.5 million payout with Tom Laughlin, writer/producer/director star of the original films.

Creator Laughlin turned "Billy Jack" into one of the most profitable independent films of all time.

"We got a deal done and contracts signed in four days with Intermedia," Laughlin said. "And we might very well end up back at DreamWorks and we might go back to Keanu. But we've found our foreign partner; this feels like the right mix, and by next week we'll be going full bore to interview screenwriters."

"Right now we want to brand this as an Intermedia movie, and we are most comfortable getting a script and a director before going to studios," said Intermedia. "The reason we feel 'Billy Jack' will travel well is that he's such a classic archetype for a movie hero. You have this disenfranchised group with nobody to speak for them, and suddenly they have a voice and a protector when this mysterious guy rides into town. It's a classic formula that goes back to 'Seven Samurai.' Our challenge is to find a modern-day equivalent of a nemesis for Billy Jack to defuse and conquer, one that made audiences root so hard for him."
