What PFach is Doing This Summer! (and more!)

Wattpad.com did an interview with our boy while he was at the Tangers Outlet on May 20th.  Aside from an excruciatingly awkward moment where she told him about all the RPF written about him on Wattpad, this video has some great info in it, including answering the question in our last post!

Highlights:

  • Facinelli Films has about twelve projects in development right now, including one movie remake.
  • The movie we wondered about in our last post is one he’s mentioned before: a thriller set in an RV park (it sounds like it may actually be called RV Park), where a daughter goes missing and we see the extent her parents go to to find her.  PFach wrote the script based on the RV roadtrip he took with his family last summer.
  • Nurse Jackie will be coming back for Season Five!  (We’re holding him to that!)
  • PFach would like to give the horror genre a try (WHOO-HOO!) as well as a true romantic comedy.  He prefers Roman Polanski horror as opposed to monster horror…maybe Facinelli Films is remaking Rosemary’s Baby?  :-)

Status of Paz

It’s been a while since we heard anything about Paz, a movie detailing the life of Rhode Island boxer Vinny Pazienza.  He was a world champion before almost dying in a car accident, but not only did he recover…he came back and won THREE more world championships!

As far back as March 2010, Vinny himself was saying that PFach would be playing him in the movie about his life, and went on a news show with Michael Corrente to confirm it (it’s an interesting pre-Loosies video too):

A little over a year later in June 2011, though, PFach didn’t exactly confirm that he’d be playing Paz:

“I’m attached to it,” Peter told AccessHollywood.com of the film-in-the works, based on the life story of the Italian-American former world champ, who formerly went by Vinny Pazienza. “It’s pending script. Right now the script’s being written, so if the script is up to par, I’d love to do it.

“I’ve met Vinny Paz and I think his story is very inspirational,” Peter added. “It’d be fun to do a boxing movie.”

(You can read the entire article here.)

After Loosies‘ January 2012 theatrical release, Verdi Productions turned their attention back to Paz, with a press release stating that filming would begin in September of this year, and that principal cast would be announced soon.  Vinny visited Verdi Productions the next day (pics here) and then again a couple of weeks later (pics here).  Sounds like things were picking up steam!

Right now the movie isn’t listed on PFach’s official IMDB page, but then again the page for Paz doesn’t have any actors listed either.  Notably, though, it was said in the news story below that there’s “no word yet on who will play Paz.”  :-(

Granted maybe that means that they just haven’t officially signed anyone yet, so unless PFach himself or Verdi Productions wants to give us a hint, we’ll just have to keep our fingers crossed that we’ll be able to add a BoxerFach tag soon!

Rutger Hauer + PFach = WHOA!

Is horror the next step in our boy’s film career?  According to this article, the answer is yes!

MovieHole is reporting that Rutger Hauer is joining Christian Slater and Peter Facinelli for Way of the Wicked, a new film from director Kevin Carraway.

Lawrence Salva’s (Seven Below) script centers on a detective (Twilight star Facinelli) on the trail of a murderer, who is led to believe that a local teenager, harboring some sort of strange supernatural power, may be involved. Slater plays the man’s disbelieving boss while Hauer plays a man-of-the-cloth who aids the cop on his mission.

Rutger Hauer, dang!  What do you think?!?
