George Gallo to direct 'Middle Men'

Internet porn comedy is Oxymoron's first feature

Writer-director George Gallo will direct Oxymoron Entertainment's first feature, "Middle Men," a comedy chronicling the start of the Internet porn biz.

Pic is being financed through Christopher Mallick's Oxymoron. Mallick and Blue Star Entertainment's William Sherak and Jason Shuman ("Bangkok Dangerous," "The Messengers") will produce.

Script by Gallo and Andy Weiss centers on a straight-and-narrow businessman brought into a world that would eventually turn into a multibillion-dollar industry.

Project is set to begin filming in Los Angeles in September.

Mallick, an Internet entrepreneur, formed Oxymoron Entertainment last year. Gallo's writing credits include "Bad Boys" and "Midnight Run."
