Exclusive Interview With The Sexy & Talented Tanit Phoenix-
FEMME FATALES is the cult smash Entertainment Weekly calls “a badass-chick anthology series” and Geek Monthly hails as “50% Tarantino, 50% Sin City, 100% Cool.” The sexy, thrilling anthology series is about powerful, sexy and dangerous women inspired by and styled in the tradition of pulp stories, film noir and graphic novels. The half-hour program features stories inspired by such noir classic as Double Indemnity and Pulp Fiction and classic thriller TV series like The Twilight Zone. In each stand-alone episode, women find extraordinary ways of coping with their problems, channeling their survival instincts and bringing out their inner guile. The series was recently honored as an Official Selection of the prestigious Sitges Film Festival in Spain which screened seven episodes from the series first season.
Entertainment One (eOne) handles the broadcast, digital and DVD distribution outside of North America for the series.
Notable guest stars include Vivica A. Fox (Kill Bill, Independence Day), Jeff Fahey (Lost, Grindhouse), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Casper Van Dien (Sleepy Hollow, Starship Troopers), Antonio Sabato, Jr. (General Hospital, Bones), Kyle Gass (Tenacious D), Steve Railsback (The Stunt Man, Lifeforce), Leilani Sarelle (Basic Instinct), Robert LaSardo (Nip/Tuck, Death Race), Reggie Hayes (Girlfriends), Dean Haglund (The X-Files, The Lone Gunmen), Charlie O’Connell (Crossing Jordan), Robert Picardo (Star Trek: Voyager) and legendary film director and Oscar® nominee Paul Mazursky.
“We are delighted to be joining our friends at eOne for the international launch of FEMME FATALES second season at MIPTV and thrilled to be able to announce that principal photography will soon commence on one of the first of our Femme Fatales films,” says series Executive Producer Mark A. Altman. “MIPTV is the most important international market to make a splash and we’re excited to be able to expose the Femme Fatales brand as well as our other upcoming series to programmers and executives from around the globe.”
In addition to the popular series, production begins this Spring for the first of the FEMME FATALES PRESENTS films scheduled for delivery in the Fall. FEMME FATALES PRESENTS are feature-length films evoking the spirit of such noir thrillers as Bound, The Usual Suspects and L.A. Confidential.
