Woodbine, Troyer trust 'God'

Antonijevic to helm Dreyfus script

Peter Antonijevic ("Savior") will direct the project from a script by Willie Dreyfus. Emmett/Furla Films' Randall Emmett and George Furla and Nittolo Entertainment's Joseph Nittolo will produce with Allan Kassirer of Kassirer Entertainment.

Nittolo Entertainment prexy Ladd Vance will serve as co-producer. The project is scheduled to begin principal photography in Europe on April 9.

Danny Lerner and John Thompson will shepherd the picture on behalf of Millennium, which is financing the pic and serves as its worldwide distributor.
