MIKA PRYCE JOINS RED GRANITE PICTURES AS CREATIVE EXECUTIVE

Red Granite Pictures Co-chairmen Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland announced today the addition of Mika Pryce to their production team acting as Creative Executive of Red Granite. Pryce will be reporting directly to David Koplan, President of Production.

Pryce comes to Red Granite with a strong background in development coming off two years at Kevin McCormick’s Langley Park Pictures where she served as Story Editor. She has been with Evolution Media Capital and Lionsgate International adding good finance and production experience.

Riza Aziz, Chairman of Red Granite adds “Joey and I are thrilled to have Mika joining our team. She has a vast knowledge of established and up-and-coming writers and directors, which makes her a perfect addition to Red Granite as we work to further build our development slate.”

Red Granite Pictures will have two new theatrical films this fall in the marketplace; Alexandre Aja’s “Horns,” starring Daniel Radcliffe and Juno Temple being released by Radius October 31st and the much anticipated comedy sequel, “Dumb and Dumber To” from the Farrelly Brothers starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels being released November 14th from Universal Pictures. At the top of Red Granite’s development slate for 2015 is “The General,” a gritty look at the story of George Washington and “The Brigands of Rattleborge,” the number one Blacklist script in 2006 about a group of bandits that terrorize a small town in the old west under the cover of a torrential rain fall.
