MVEE "News" LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 28, 1999-- Millennium Films to Provide Production Financing First Miracle Group (OTC BB: MVEE) has acquired the rights to Alicia's Book, a highly sought after, original screenplay by Stanford Whitmore, and has secured $12.5 million in financing for the motion picture from Millennium Films, it was announced today by Tony Cataldo, Chief Executive Officer of First Miracle. Alicia's Book, a murder-thriller, will be produced by Academy Award(TM) and Golden Globe nominee Pincus Perry (Gaby: A True Story), Millennium's Chairman Avi Lerner, and First Miracle's Cataldo. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Stanford Whitmore and bring his vision to life on the screen," says Cataldo. "We are equally delighted to collaborate with Millennium Films in assembling an exciting creative team for Alicia's Book." Alicia's Book is a gripping tale of a high-profile New York journalist who travels to middle America to investigate the brutal murder of his former lover, Alicia, a distinguished literary editor. Alicia's last project, a compelling novel which was brought to her under dangerous circumstances, led her into the arms of its anonymous author, an ex-con who served time for the killing a highway patrolman. As the intriguing story unfolds, it becomes apparent that the circumstances surrounding her death are far from what they originally seemed. Millennium's President Brad Weston will oversee the production of Alicia's Book, which is scheduled to begin shooting on location in Toronto in January 2000. Foreign sales will be handled by Nu Image, Millennium's sister company. "We are happy to be working with Tony Cataldo and First Miracle on this high profile project," says Weston. "Alicia's Book fits in perfectly with our strategy of growing Millennium Films into a top provider of independent movies featuring some of today's most-exciting talent." Millennium's feature film, Guinevere, is slated for release by Miramax Films on September 24. The company is also in pre-production on How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog with Southfork Pictures, starring Kenneth Branagh and Robin Wright Penn. First Miracle Group, Inc., is an independent and diversified film company with a unique corporate structure based on strategic and exclusive alliances with high quality content producers. First Miracle Group (OTC BB: MVEE) is a publicly-traded company. --30--PS/ch* CONTACT: Rogers & Cowan Jeanne R. Berney, 310/201-8848 or Rubenstein Public Relations Clint Cantwell, 212/843-8051
