New horror comedy Burn Off reveals the hidden madness behind the perfect diet drink: it works like a charm, but drives you mad and causes you to murder your loved ones. Cinema Blend hears a rumor that the comedy leading lady Anna Faris is attached to the project, and that they're gunning for Rob Zombie to direct. I'm for it, because I'd like to see Zombie do a clean-looking film that gets dirty real quick. [Cinema Blend]

About Tfp llc/Film Projects
Telepathy Film Productions , LLC is a new, startup indie film company engaged in
the production of motion pictures intended for theatrical or straight-to-video
release. The Production Company's goal is to produce diverse, hip,
innovative and controversial feature films with mainstream appeal on a
low-budget. Stories are also character-driven and thought-provoking.
Telepathy Film Productions LLC is engaged in various aspects of the motion picture entertainment industry, including development, production, and production services. Telepathy Film Productions LLC develops, produces and performs production related services for the motion picture entertainment industry mainly through (“TFP LLC”), a Las Vegas Corporation involved in motion picture development, production, and production related services for high budget motion pictures.
Short Term Objectives To produce and/or to provide production related services in connection with genre specific motion pictures with moderate production costs in the $1 million to $20+ million range.
Long Term Objectives Telepathy Film Productions LLC goal, through, is to facilitate relationships (and as such, provide production related services) between creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) and companies who produce, finance and distribute motion pictures. As mentioned,Telepathy Film Productions LLC acquires or licenses rights to materials upon which it believes motion pictures can be based (screenplays, books, etcetera, which are referred to within the entertainment industry as the “underlying property”). Telepathy Film Productions LLC may further develop an underlying property by contracting for additional writing services and/or by bringing in new writers to perform “polishes” or “rewrites” on a particular underlying property. If Telepathy Film Productions LLC is satisfied with the creative state of the underlying property, it will then make offers to directors and/or actors, to perform services in connection with a particular motion picture based on that underlying property. These offers are very often contingent and subject to the satisfaction of certain production elements, such as financier approval of the screenplay and the financier's selection of a start date for principal photography. If a director or actor accepts one of Telepathy Film Productions LLC offers, the director or actors are said to be “attached” to the motion picture project. Armed with the underlying property and the attached creative element(s) (these elements are often called the “package” in Hollywood), Telepathy Film Productions LLC may then approach third party financiers seeking financing as well as distribution for the potential motion picture. Another approach that Telepathy Film Productions LLC may take is to contact the financiers first, seeking first to produce the film, and then with a finished (or nearly finished) motion picture product, obtain distribution for the picture.
Financing Motion Pictures
Telepathy Film Productions LLC, is to facilitate relationships (and as such, provide production related services) between creative talent (including writers, actors and directors) and companies who produce, finance and distribute motion pictures. As mentioned, Telepathy Film Productions LLC acquires or licenses rights to materials upon which it believes motion pictures can be based (screenplays, books, etcetera), referred to within the entertainment industry as the “underlying property.” Telepathy Film Productions LLC may further develop an underlying property by contracting for additional writing services and/or by bringing in new writers to perform “polishes” or “rewrites” on a particular “underlying property.” If Telepathy Film Productions LLC is satisfied with the creative state of the “underlying property,” it will then make offers to directors and/or actors, to perform services in connection with a particular motion picture based on the underlying property. These offers are very often contingent and subject to the satisfaction of certain production elements, such as financier approval of the screenplay and the financier's selection of a start date for principal photography. If a director or actor accepts one of Telepathy Film Productions LLC offers, the director or actors are said to be “attached” to the motion picture project. Armed with the underlying property and the attached creative element(s) (these elements are often called the “package” in Hollywood), Telepathy Film Productions LLC may then approach third party financiers seeking financing as well as distribution for the potential motion picture. Another approach that Telepathy Film Productions LLC may take is to contact financiers first, seeking to produce the film first, and then with a finished (or nearly finished) motion picture product, obtain distribution for the picture.
Distributing Motion Pictures
Currently, Telepathy Film Productions LLC does not directly distribute motion pictures. Instead, when Telepathy Film Productions LLC seeks financing for its motion picture “packages,” the distribution rights are often obtained by the financier as collateral for their investment; in other words, third parties purchase the world-wide exploitation and distribution rights to a motion picture for the cost (or amount) it takes to produce the motion picture.
Motion Picture Property Acquisition
By in large, the acquisition process for Telepathy Film Productions LLC is the process by which “underlying properties” are acquired or licensed by TFP LLC . In turn, use those properties to attract creative talent (actors and directors) to the potential motion picture project. If successful, TFP LLC with then grants or licenses out those rights to third party financiers of motion pictures, who will then contract with the creative talent TFP LLC has attracted to the property as well as finance, produce and distribute/exploit the motion picture.
Motion Picture Production Process
Telepathy Film Productions LLC primary involvement with feature film production is in the area of the development of “underlying properties” (see Telepathy Film Productions LLC Acquisition Process). By in large, Telepathy Film Productions LLC engages third parties to produce, finance and exploit/distribute the motion picture “packages” it, through TFP LLC, puts together. In many examples, Telepathy Film Productions LLC will also provide production expertise (i.e. “production services”) to the third party producer and/or financier of the motion picture in question. When Telepathy Film Productions LLC does provide production expertise, Telepathy Film Productions LLC, or its principals, JD Valenti and Rob Walker, Allan Eabert is often credited as “producers” or executive producers” of the particular film in question. Telepathy Film Productions LLC primarily derives its income from producer fees, consulting and service fees as well as its participation in the profits of the various pictures produced by third parties, which were developed and/or “packaged” by TFP LLC. Telepathy Film Productions LLC feature film strategy generally is to develop and/or perform production services, and/or produce feature films when the production budgets for the films are expected to be entirely or substantially covered by a third party. In this way, Telepathy Film Productions LLC risk is, by in large, only the capital required, if any, to develop and package the motion picture project. The entirety of the production budget, as well as any costs associated with distributing and/or exploiting the motion pictures in question, will be born by a third party or parties who have the resources and expertise to produce and/or distribute motion pictures.
Film Costs and Revenue Generation
Film costs include costs to acquire rights, “develop” (the process whereby underlying material, such as a book, manuscript or screenplay, are made ready for production into a motion picture by creating a finished screenplay which takes in to account the desires of the creative elements as well as the constraints of the budget and production schedule), “package” (the process whereby creative elements, such as directors and actors, are attracted to and agreements are made for them to perform their services in connection with the picture), and/or produce feature motion pictures. Production costs mainly consist of acquisition costs, salaries, equipment, overhead, participation costs and exploitation costs. Production costs in excess of the amounts reimbursable by the actual production entity are capitalized. Once production on a particular film project commences, Telepathy Film Productions LLC begins to derive from producer fees. Telepathy Film Productions LLC primary source of revenue is from motion picture production fees. Production costs capitalized on that film are then amortized in the proportion that the revenue is received during the year for that film. Estimates of anticipated total gross revenues for all film projects are reviewed periodically and revised when necessary. Un-amortized film production costs are also compared with net realizable value each reporting period on a film-by-film basis. If estimated gross revenues are not sufficient to recover the un-amortized film production costs, the un-amortized film production costs are written down to their estimated net realizable value.

BURN OFF
The Rob Zombie Diet Plan
Posted on November 5th, 2008 by Mr. Movie. Filed under Comedy, Horror Movies, Movie News.
There are rumors surfacing that Anna Farris and Rob Zombie may (or may not) be on board for a new Comedy-Horror project called Burn Off.
The movie is about a skinny husband Rob Zombie’s New Comedy Horror movie?
an energy drink that makes you lose your mind. (Not so far off, as too many redbulls will have a similar effect.) Elizabeth Berkley and Jason Mewes are also on board.
Written by Robert A Trezza, Mark Daponte, the movie is supposed to shoot in Mexico and has a planned $25 million dollar budget. We know Zombie can do horror, but can he make us laugh too? If rumors are true, we’ll have the opportunity to find out soon!
