'Riley' is Jones' 2nd green light
Pete Jones, who wrote and directed Miramax Films' Stolen Summer as part of his win in last year's Project Greenlight competition, is readying his follow-up project. Jones will direct the indie feature Doubting Riley, which he wrote and will star in and produce. The project goes into production this week in Chicago, with Nathan Fillion (Angel) and Michael McDonald (Mad TV) starring alongside Jones. The project is about an Irish Catholic family who learns that one of their siblings is gay. Jones will play the lead role of Bobby, the blue-collar youngest brother in the family who attempts to profess his homosexuality to his doubting brothers. Fillion plays one of the brothers. McDonald is playing Bobby's best friend. Riley is budgeted at about $1 million, with financing coming from independent investors in Chicago. The film is being produced by Patrick Peach and Judd Nissen. Jones is repped by 3 Arts Entertainment and attorney Jared Levine.
