Lauren Holly, Angus MacFadyen, Lacey Chabert, Rachel Dratch, Angelo Spizzirri, Jill Bennett, Jason Mewes and Meat Loaf are set to star in indie feature The Pleasure Drivers. Helmer Andrzej Sekula -- who has worked as a cinematographer on such films as Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs and Mary Harron's American Psycho -- is directing the project in Los Angeles. Penned by Adam Haynes, Pleasure Drivers is a crime thriller with separate yet interconnected stories involving characters including a psychology professor who has lost touch with reality (MacFadyen); a young sociopathic call girl (Chabert); a vicious lesbian hit woman (Bennett); a recovering crack addict and kidnapper (Holly); a junkyard drunk (Meat Loaf); a brain-damaged former cult guru (Spizzirri); and dueling gas station attendants (Dratch and Mewes).

Actress Gina Philips and producer Amy Greenspun have teamed to launch the feature film and television production entity Voyage Entertainment. The company is in production on its first feature, Thanks to Gravity, being directed by Jessica Kavana and starring Philips alongside Adam Rodriguez, Angelo Spizzirri, Shirley Knight and Azura Skye. Other casting is expected to be announced soon. Gravity is described as the coming-of-age story of Jordan Landa (Philips) and the gridlock she encounters on her road to adulthood, pegged as a cross between Bend It Like Beckham and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
